- Restores smooth, reliable wash action when the original gears are worn or damaged.
- Commonly used when you hear grinding, clunking, or the washer fails to agitate or spin consistently.
- Works as an internal drive component that mates with the transmission and related drive parts.
What's included One planetary gear assembly. Install notes
