Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• No agitation when the wash portion of a cycle should agitate.
• No spin when the cycle should enter spin.
• Washer performs the wrong drive action for the cycle phase, such as spinning during agitation.

Check Before Replacing

• Observe a normal cycle or the model-specific service test to confirm whether agitation and spin each occur as commanded; record any displayed fault code before replacing parts.
• With power disconnected, inspect the accessible mode-shifter harness connector for a loose connection, damaged wires, or corrosion.
• With power disconnected, inspect the accessible drive belt and pulleys for damage, displacement, or obvious binding, since these components operate together with the mode shifter.
• Use the technical data/service instructions for the exact washer model for any electrical or service-mode testing; do not bypass safety devices or apply line voltage to the removed part.
