W11132267 WHIRLPOOL Gear Box

Technical specifications:

• Part type: Gearbox (Gearcase / Transmission Assembly).

• Compatibility: piece W11132267 It is an original component of Whirlpool Designed for modern top-loading (Top-Load) washing machines with direct drive (Direct Drive). This piece is used as a sophisticated replacement for several previous reference numbers.

• Function: The box acts as a mechanical transducer; It receives rotational motion from the motor and converts it into reciprocating motion of the agitator (Agitator) during washing, or rapid rotational motion of the drum (Basket) during spinning.

• Design: Airtight, lubricating oil-filled unit (contains metal gears and heavy-duty "Bearings" bearings) to ensure operation under pressure of large weights and vibrations.

Methods of use and installation

• When to replace:

  • Sharp mechanical sounds: Hearing a strong metal "grinding" or "knocking" sound during the spinning cycle is an indication of internal gear damage or bearing wear.

  • The suit/instigator has stopped working: The motor is operating normally, but there is no mechanical movement inside the drum.

  • Oil leak: The presence of oil stains under the washing machine, which is conclusive evidence of damage to the "leak arrester" (Seal) of the box, which requires replacing the entire unit.

  • System suspension: The washing machine starts working, then stops and issues fault codes due to the box's inability to interlock or rotate.
