Part WPW10006355
Purpose
Washer shift actuator to engage the washer between agitate and spin modes
Details
This OEM shift actuator integrates a precision synchronous motor and optical sensor to move the splutch cam ring and monitor its position as needed for proper cycle function. It accurately shifts the washer's transmission from agitation to spinning and can fail silently—common signs include a washer that pumps water but won’t spin, won't start, or spins slowly. Replacing the actuator typically restores smooth transitions and proper operation.
Compatible Models
Used across top-load washers from Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, and related brands—especially models like WTW4800BQ, WTW4800XQ, ATW4675YQ, MVWC425BW, and RTW4640YQ. Compatibility varies; always confirm with your washer's parts diagram.
Replaces
Replaces legacy part W10006355 and supersedes WPW10006355VP and AP6014711—verify fitment with your model diagram.
