Common Symptoms
- Washer does not agitate properly
- Washer pumps out but does not spin
- Weak or incomplete spin
- Basket wobble or excessive vibration
- Grinding, scraping, or rumbling from beneath the tub
Check Before Replacing
- Disconnect electrical power before inspecting the drive area.
- With the washer empty and powered off, check whether the basket has unusual side-to-side wobble or excessive looseness.
- Inspect for visible oil, water, rust, bent-shaft indications, or damaged splines only after the applicable cabinet and tub access has been safely established for the specific washer model.
- If unusual noise is present, first check that the washer is level, the load is balanced, and no foreign object is trapped between the basket and outer tub.
- Do not assume the shaft assembly is defective solely from a no-spin or noise symptom; the motor, belt, pulley, pump, bearings, shifter, or trapped debris can produce similar symptoms.
Pro Tip
When investigating noise or wobble, inspect the related tub bearing and tub seal at the same time; water or rust damage in that area can affect the shaft assembly and may cause repeat failure.

Installation Notes
- Disconnect power and water supplies before servicing and use appropriate hand and eye protection.
- Installation requires access to the washer drive and tub area; the exact disassembly sequence varies by model.
- Record the routing and orientation of removed drive components before disassembly so the replacement is reassembled in the same orientation.
- Inspect the associated tub bearing, seal, pulley, belt, and fasteners during reassembly and replace only parts found worn or damaged according to the model-specific service information.
- After reassembly, level the washer and run an empty agitation and spin test while checking for abnormal noise, wobble, water leakage, and proper transition between agitation and spin.
