Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Washer will not agitate
• Washer will not spin or spins slowly
• Basket wobbles or spins loosely
• Grinding, roaring, or other abnormal noise during spin
• Unbalanced-load behavior may occur when the hub is worn or stripped

Check Before Replacing

• Disconnect power before inspecting the component.
• With the washer empty and powered off, gently check whether the agitator or washplate turns without properly engaging the basket; unusual free movement can indicate worn or stripped hub splines.
• After removing the agitator or washplate according to the washer’s service information, visually inspect the hub for stripped, cracked, or worn splines and confirm that the drive-shaft splines are not visibly damaged.
• If the shaft is visibly worn or damaged, do not assume replacing the hub alone will correct the problem.
