Sample Model Number Tags
Model numbers can be made up of numbers (1005400, for example) or a combination of letters and numbers (LAT1000AAE). The model number will most likely appear on either a paper sticker or a metal plate. Your appliance's model number tag may look similar to the sample model number tags shown here (model number highlighted in yellow):
This is a shift actuator, and is designed for use in washing machines. This shift actuator is made to change the mode of the motor between spin and agitate, as well as communicate with the control board how fast the washer is spinning. If the shift actuator in your washer is broken or bad, it can lead to the washer not spinning or agitating correctly and may even show an error code related to that. This shift actuator is made mostly of plastic but does feature a 120V/60HZ/2.8W motor. This actuator is an OEM part and is sold individually.
How Buying OEM Parts Can Save You Time and Money
Why buy the real thing?
OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. Simply put, this means that the company who made your appliance is also supplying the replacement part for it.

Easy repair once i understood how it all worked.
Part was an easy fix. I did also remove the splutch, clean it up and spray it down with some silicon lube to help it move easier. I figure thats why the actuator failed. Has been working flawlessly for about a month now. I was very colose to replacing a seven year old washer when i came across the repair video. Lucky me. Oddly my washer never showed any diagnostic alarm.

Great fix and easy
The actuator and gear set was a replacement package, and fixed the problem of the horrific gear slipping noise that happened on and off with the washer - it sounded like an electrical box short!!!

Washer wasn't agitating.
First, this is the second time the transmission actuator went bad. The first-time washer was still under warrenty and I watched the tech replace it. This time warranty has expired and I'm mechanically inclined, so I ordered the part. Replacing was easy, unplug, tip washer up so you can get under it, remove plastic guard (two hex nuts) and
... Read more remove actuator by removing two screws. Reverse procedure to install new actuator. The only caution I will say is when tipping washer if you have a wall to lean it against, perfect, just put something under it for saftey so it can't fall on you.

Machine would stop at spin cycle
After disconnecting water lines and power, tip machine onto its back. The actuator is located under the drum. Remove the cover over the motor/ drive belt. Actuator is located by the transmission and held on by several screws. Unplug the wiring harness and remove three screws with Phillips screwdriver. Install new actuator..

Washer was stuck on rinse cycle
Research showed it was the transmission and the actuator . Parts were super easy to install and it solved the issue 100%
PS - I put some light lithium grease on the transmission and it’s quieter than it was when new

Washer agitated and drains, but won't spin at the end of the cycle.
For model number maytag washer mvwc565fwo
Hello Sean, thank you for your inquiry! Our research indicates that the issue is probably with the Drive Belt, part number PS11747978. If that is not the problem or if you have already fixed that, then the problem would be related to the Drive Hub Kit, part number PS6012095.

Washer sticks on sensing mode, just keeps filling with water
For model number WTW5000DW1
Hello Ralph, Thank you for the question. When the Washer is stuck on Sensing Cycle and not proceed to the Wash cycle, it is most likely a defective Water Filter. We hope this helps!
My whirlpool washing machine stays in sensing mode and makes a buzzing noise sound. Is it the shift actuator that's messed up?
For model number WTW5000DW1
Hello Montona, Thank you for the question. Your washer senses the contents to determine the load size and balance to decide on the right amount of water to clean the load. If it is stuck in sensing mode, you can try to reset the appliance. To reset, unplug the washer and leave it for about 15 to 20 minutes before powering it on again. Lift and close the lid about six times within 12 seconds to reset the unit. We hope this helps!

THE MACHINE WAS STARTED. THE WATER TO THE MACHINE WAS CUT OFF. THE PUMPWAS RUNNING AND THE MACHINE CUT NOE BE CUT OFF. I UNPLUGGED THE MACHINE. THEN PLUGGED BACK IN AND THE PUMP WAS STARING TO RUN BUT STILL COULD NOT BE CUT OFF AT THE SWITCH AND NOW ALL THE INDICATER LIGHTS ARE OUT. WHEN PLUGGED IN THE PUMP RUNS, BUT NOTHING ELSE WORKS.
For model number MVWX655DW1
Hello Bill, thank you for reaching out to PartSelect. It sounds like your washer is in flood mode. If the unit is in flood mode, you just need to unplug the washer for 60 seconds, so the washer knows you are in front of it. Then plug the washer back in and give it 20 minutes to finish its flood mode sequence. The drain pump will continue to run until the sequence is finished. Nothing will be harmed, it is designed to do this. Once it is done, the drain pump will shut off and you can use the washer like normal. Just be sure the water is turned onto the washer, and you should be good to go. Now, if the unit does not reset, the control board inside your control board, part number PS12114298, needs to be replaced. Good luck with the repair!
Crosley washer fill up but doesn’t agitate then drains and spins
For model number CAW9244DW1
Hi Steven, thank you for contacting us. We would recommend checking the drive pulley, part number PS10057144, and the drive belt, part number PS11747978. If the issue remains, the problem might be with the actuator, part number PS16221077, or the drive motor, part number PS11757089. We hope this helps!
My washer fills with water and agitates but wont switch to the rinse cycle. It says it doesn’t detect water, but it just got plenty of water to go through the wash cycle. And I recently changed the water inlet.
For model number MVW6230hc2
Hi Jared, thank you for contacting us. First, we recommend checking if the inlet valve is installed correctly. If this does not help, we recommend checking the wire harness, part number PS16730931. If the issue persists, then you may need to change the control board, part number PS16660484. We hope this sorts out your problem!
