Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Basket does not spin or spins slowly
• Clothes remain wet at the end of the cycle
• Loud or grinding noise during spin
• Basket vibration or shaking during spin
• Hard or abrupt stopping at the end of spin

Check Before Replacing

• With power disconnected, inspect the basket drive and surrounding area for obvious wear, stripped tabs, corrosion, or oil contamination.
• Check whether the spin-tube tabs and basket drive block are visibly worn or stripped before attributing the problem to the basket drive.
• Observe whether the inner basket rotates normally during a spin-only cycle; do not reach into or restrain a moving basket.
• If the clutch pads appear worn or contaminated and the drive block and spin-tube tabs are in good condition, the basket drive assembly may be implicated; confirm with the appliance’s service documentation or a qualified technician.
