Description

This planetary gear assembly transfers motor motion through the transmission to the washer's agitator/drum so the machine can agitate and spin as designed. Replacing a worn planetary restores proper drive engagement and reduces noise. What it does:

• Transfers rotational force from the transmission to the agitator/drum.
• Restores normal agitation and spin when worn gears have failed.
• Can stop grinding, clunking, or slipping during wash or spin cycles.
• Works with the transmission to maintain correct gear reduction and motion.

What's included: One planetary gear assembly. Install notes:

• Disconnect power (and water if required) before starting any repair.
• Access commonly requires removing the washer cabinet or transmission cover.
• Inspect adjacent transmission, seals, and fasteners for wear and replace as needed.
• Test machine on a short cycle after installation to confirm correct operation.
