Additional Information

Gear case W11454738 transfers power from the motor to the agitator and spin basket, allowing the washer to clean and rinse laundry effectively. It ensures proper agitation during wash cycles and balanced spinning for efficient water removal.

If your washer wont agitate or spin, makes grinding or clunking noises, leaks oil from underneath, or has difficulty completing cycles, a worn or damaged gear case is often the cause. Replacing it can restore quiet, consistent performance.

Always unplug the washer before beginning this repair to avoid electrical shock. Because the gear case is heavy and located under the tub, use caution and proper lifting technique. Wear work gloves to protect your hands while handling the part.
