Washing Machine Shift Actuator

Whirlpool manufactures a range of products under various brand names, including Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. They also produce items for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The Shift Actuator is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement part designed for Whirlpool washing machines. This electronic component is situated inside the transmission and is responsible for controlling the transition between wash cycles. It receives signals from the washer's control board to switch modes, enabling the machine to progress through its cycles correctly.

Signs of a malfunctioning shift actuator include:

- The washer does not move through cycles correctly
- It gets stuck in one phase of the wash cycle
- Unusual noises occur during operation
- The machine fails to agitate or spin as expected

Environmental factors and regular usage can lead to the shift actuator failing over time.

This OEM part is compatible with various models, including those from Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore.

Note: The updated version of this part features a redesigned black plastic housing and an adapter wire harness, replacing the older red plastic version. It is guaranteed to fit and function like the original.

This part addresses the following issue:
- Pumps but will not spin
