Description
This is a white plastic end cover that attaches to the gearcase assembly on a washing machine. It protects the internal gears and transmission components from dirt and moisture. Replace this cover if it is cracked, broken, or missing, which can expose the gearcase to debris and lead to premature wear or transmission failure.
