Part 3360629 Transmission / Gearcase Assembly
Purpose
Powers tub rotation and drains washer
Details
This is the genuine OEM gearcase (transmission) for many Whirlpool / Kenmore direct-drive washers. It converts motor torque into the tub’s spin and agitation motion while handling neutral drain during cycles. Over time, bearings, gears, or seals may wear out, leading to grinding noise, failure to spin, leaking, or the washer refusing to agitate. Replacing the transmission restores full mechanical drive and proper operation. Compatibility should be confirmed via service diagrams.
Included Items
One gearcase / transmission housing with internal gears, bearings, and neutral drain mechanism.
