Exact Replacement Parts wh38x10017 Shaft Mode Shifter Assembly

Product Description

The EXACT REPLACEMENT PARTS wh38x10017 is a shaft and mode shifter assembly designed for residential top-load washing machines. This assembly controls the transition between the agitate and spin cycles by mechanically shifting the washer's drive system between modes. The shaft measures 13.625 inches in length. Appliance repair technicians and experienced DIYers install this part when the washer fails to agitate, spin, or transition properly between cycles. It is an OEM-style replacement designed to restore correct mechanical function to the drive system.

This assembly is used in residential top-load washing machines where the original shaft or mode shifter has worn, cracked, or failed. It fits specific GE-manufactured washer platforms, including models sold under the Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore brand names. This part is typically replaced when diagnostics point to a failed mode shifter as the cause of a no-agitate or no-spin condition.
