Description

This planetary gear assembly transfers motor rotation into the appliance's drive mechanism, restoring smooth, reliable movement in the drivetrain. It's a direct-fit replacement designed to replace worn or damaged gears. What it does

• Converts motor output into the specific gear motion used by the appliance drivetrain.
• Restores proper rotation and torque when worn or broken planetary components cause noisy, jerky, or failed operation.
• Helps reduce excess noise or grinding that can occur when the planetary gear is damaged.
• Works as the internal link between the motor and the driven component (agitator/shaft/turntable), depending on model application.

What's included

• One planetary gear assembly

Install notes

• Installation requires disassembly of the drive housing; follow factory service instructions for your exact model.
• Disconnect power before starting and wear appropriate safety gear.
• Inspect adjacent gears, bearings, and seals; replace any other damaged parts to prevent repeat failure.
