Parts That Fix Whirlpool Washer WTW6120HC1 Cycle Not Advancing

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.

This splutch cam kit is a genuine replacement assembly designed for select Whirlpool, Maytag, and affiliated brand washing machines. It plays a critical role in the wash and spin cycles by engaging the drive motor to rotate the washer basket. The kit includes the clutch assembly, cam ring, spring, basket drive gear, pulley, and mounting nut. Replacing this component can resolve issues such as noisy operation, slow or failed spinning, poor agitation, and excessive moisture in clothes after a cycle. In some cases, a burning smell may also indicate a failing clutch. Installation requires basic tools and should be performed with the appliance disconnected from power. Compatibility should be confirmed using your washer’s model number.
