Additional Information
The Washer Drive Shaft and Shifter Assembly (AEN73131406) is a crucial component that often needs replacement due to wear and tear over time, which can manifest as noises during the wash cycle, the washing machine failing to agitate or spin correctly, or leaking from the tub seal. This assembly is engineered to meet the exact specifications of the original part and ensure a perfect fit and long-lasting performance when installed correctly.
When replacing this part, we recommend you review the service manual for your specific model to understand the detailed steps involved. Since the process can be intricate, involving the removal of the washer's inner tub and possible recalibration of the machine, have a professional technician perform the installation if you are not familiar with appliance repair. It's important to unplug the washing machine and turn off the water supply before attempting any repairs to avoid electric shock or water damage.
