Drive Hub Kit

The part came in quickly and the repair was simple to complete.

The parts were exact OEM replacements, easy to install. Getting the old wash plate (agitator) out was a bit of a booger. I removed the center cap with a screw driver, and the center bolt with a socket. I tried holding the wash plate up and tapping down on the bolt head after loosening it a few turns (per a YouTube video) but had no luck. I created a pair of pullers by taking apart a wire pants hanger, cutting it in half (at the top of the hook) and forming the hook area into a loop. I straightened out the rest of each side except for the little u-turn at the end. With the center bolt removed, I was able to slip the u-turn between the tub and the wash plate on both sides (left and right.) Then, using the loops as handles, I popped the wires up a few times, moved the wires 90 degrees and popped it some more. Eventually, the wash plate came loose. To remove the drive hub, I tapped the tips of the retaining clip horizontally toward the opposite end of the clip, which loosened it. That made it easy enough to pry out with a screw driver. I backed out the screws carefully so as not to strip the heads, and the drive hub lifted out pretty easily. If memory serves me, the new hub lines up only three ways, even though there are six screws. When you install the screws, turn each one in only a turn or two initially so that the hub seats evenly. It is manufactured in a way that you cannot just push it all the way down, but once you start the screws, the hub will slip into place and hold firm. The wash plate just slips over the drive shaft. I cleaned most of the rust off before replacing it. IMPORTANT: Put a drop or two of thread locker on the bolt before reinstalling it. This will keep it from backing out.

This was the exact part I needed. Very easy to replace. I was impressed with how fast delivery was.

My husband was able to repair my washer with no problems. Got it up and running fast.

The plastic teeth wore down on old part. Easy to replace. Important part is to do calibration procedure that is included with part. Washer runs better now than when it was new.

It was the right part to repair the machine my wife is happy again.

It was easy to install and work great. (says the wife of the husband who did the install :) ha ha) minimal bad words...so it must have worked fine!)

My washer back in business , although I paid for 2 day shipping and received part 6 days late

Part fixed my problem after changing splutch,actuator, and belt this was the fix. Exact identical replacement.

Was the correct part and was shipped to me quickly. The reason I only give three stars is because I think it’s a poor design. I’ve only had this washer for under a year and already am having to replace this part, so I guess I can expect to be changing this part again in the near future. This was a top of the line washer, and was priced according. But made with cheap parts?
