If your washer isn’t spinning or agitating like it used to—or it’s making strange noises—this gearcase assembly might be the fix. It’s the part that helps your washer switch between washing and spinning, so your clothes get clean and come out less wet. Designed for select top-load models, it powers the agitator and spins the basket to get the job done. If you’ve noticed rattling, grinding, or your washer just isn’t working right, replacing this part could restore its performance. Just make sure it fits your model before ordering, and unplug the machine before installing.

My washer is very loud on the spin cycle and I think i don’t know if it’ll need a transmission or just a bearing. When spinning, it makes a loud noise like it’s going to take off
For model number MVW6230HW1
Hi Jeffery, thank you for reaching out. The issue is most probably because of the fault in the bearings, but they come attached to the gear case, part number PS16730207. You may need to replace it to fix the issue. We hope this solves your problem!
