Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Loud roaring, grinding, or high-pitched noise that increases during spin
• Washer fails to spin or agitate
• Oil or water leakage near the gearcase area
• Reduced or irregular basket or agitator movement

Check Before Replacing

• With the washer unplugged, inspect the underside for visible oil or water leakage around the gearcase and shaft area.
• Observe whether the washer performs agitation and spin functions; distinguish a complete loss of movement from symptoms caused by the belt, motor, shifter, clutch, or splutch.
• Listen for abnormal roaring or grinding that changes with basket speed, while keeping hands and clothing away from moving parts.
• Verify that the washer is level and that the load is balanced before attributing excessive vibration or noise to the gearcase.

Pro Tip

Installation Notes

• Disconnect electrical power and turn off the washer water supply before servicing.
• Follow the service procedure for the specific washer model; access typically requires removal of surrounding drive-system components.
• The Whirlpool service procedure shows the washer being padded and laid on its front cabinet before gearcase removal; use appropriate assistance because of the appliance weight.
• Disconnect relevant harnesses and remove the gearcase mounting bolts only after completing the model-specific access procedure.
• Replace all removed parts and panels before reconnecting power or operating the washer.
