Description

This shaft-bit generator is a replacement drive shaft component that transfers motor rotation to the appliance's moving assemblies, restoring proper mechanical motion and reducing noise from damaged or worn shaft parts. What it does:

• Transfers rotary motion from the motor to the driven components for normal operation
• Helps maintain alignment and smooth rotation of connected parts
• Worn or broken units can cause grinding, rattling, or loss of movement
• Replacing a failed shaft can stop intermittent operation and restore reliable performance

What's included: One shaft-bit generator (single drive shaft assembly) Install notes:

• High-level replacement only: remove power before accessing internal assemblies
• Follow appliance-specific disassembly steps; secure panels and wiring before removing the old shaft
• Inspect adjacent bearings, seals, and mounting hardware; replace any damaged items
