W11481722 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Shift Actuator
The W11481722 is a genuine Whirlpool OEM shift actuator (gear case) for Whirlpool, Maytag, Amana, Crosley, and Kenmore top-load washers. Mounted at the bottom of the washer, this component does two jobs in one assembly: it physically shifts the transmission between modes by moving an arm on the cam assembly, engaging and disengaging either the basket or the agitator/washplate depending on what the cycle calls for, and it houses the tachometer that reports drum speed back to the control board throughout the cycle.
Rated 120V, 60Hz, with a 6-pin wire connector for a direct plug-in fit. Because this single part handles both mechanical shifting and speed sensing, a failure here can produce a range of symptoms depending on which function is affected: the washer may fail to spin or agitate properly, get stuck in one mode without transitioning to the other, or the control board may throw an error code related to a lost tachometer signal or improper basket engagement. It directly replaces AP6990751, W10597177, WPW10597177, W11237117, W11398781.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer Before Starting — Note Cam Position Before Removal Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves. Access to the shift actuator is through the gear case at the bottom of the washer, which typically requires tipping the washer back or removing surrounding panels per your model's service instructions to reach it. Photograph the wiring harness connection and the actuator's mounting position before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the 6-pin wiring harness connector from the old actuator, remove its mounting screws, and pull it free from the gear case. Install the new W11481722 in the same position, secure the mounting screws, and reconnect the 6-pin harness connector fully. Reassemble any panels removed for access, restore power, and run a full test cycle through both agitate and spin to confirm the washer shifts between modes correctly with no error codes. Tools needed: Phillips or nut driver screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My washer is stuck in one mode — it will either agitate or spin, but not both. Is this the shift actuator?
Yes, this is a classic symptom of a failed shift actuator. This part is what physically moves the arm on the cam assembly to switch the transmission between agitate/wash mode and spin mode. If it fails, the washer can get mechanically stuck engaging only one of those two functions, since the shifting mechanism itself is no longer moving the cam correctly.
My control board shows a tachometer error. Why would that be the shift actuator and not something else?
Because this single part combines both the mechanical shifting function and the tachometer that reports drum speed to the control board, a failure inside the actuator can knock out the speed-sensing function even if the shifting mechanism is unaffected, or vice versa. A tachometer-related error code is a direct signal that this component — not a separate sensor — is the likely cause.
Is this a difficult repair?
It's a moderate repair, since accessing the gear case at the bottom of the washer typically requires tipping the unit back or removing surrounding panels, depending on your specific model. It's within reach for a confident DIYer with basic hand tools, but budget more time than a simple top-panel swap.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original shifting mechanism, tachometer calibration, and 6-pin harness configuration of the shift actuator originally installed in your washer.

XPARTCO 3405-001034 Microwave Door Switch (Normally Open)
The XPARTCO 3405-001034 is an aftermarket replacement normally open (NO) microwave door interlock switch for select Samsung, Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore and other microwave ovens, replacing part 3405-001034. The switch detects when the door is fully closed and completes the safety circuit, so the microwave runs only when the door is shut. When it fails, the microwave may not start, may not heat, or may only run if you push or jiggle the door.
Microwaves often use more than one door switch, and each is sold individually. Check that the switch you are replacing is the normally open type and goes in the same position.
⚠️ Critical Safety Part — Switch Type And Position Must Match Exactly Door interlock switches work together as a safety system. Installing the wrong type (normally open vs. normally closed) or putting a switch in the wrong position can let the microwave run with the door open, a serious radiation hazard. Replace each switch with the exact same type in the exact same position, and test the microwave after replacement. If you are not qualified to service microwave ovens, use a trained technician.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO 3405-001034 Microwave Door Switch (Normally Open) replaces a failed normally open door interlock switch on a compatible microwave. Replaces 3405-001034 and 3405-000178. Classic symptoms: the microwave won't start, won't heat, or only runs when you push or jiggle the door.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Microwave won't start
Microwave runs but doesn't heat
Microwave only works if you push or jiggle the door
Microwave doesn't shut off properly when the door opens

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Microwave And Beware Of The High Voltage Capacitor Unplug the microwave before starting and never operate it with the cabinet open. The high voltage capacitor can hold a lethal charge even after the microwave is unplugged. If your repair requires removing the outer cabinet, discharge the capacitor safely first, or have a qualified technician do the work.
⚠️ Photograph Switch Positions Before Removing Anything The switches are accessed at the door latch assembly. Before disconnecting anything, photograph each switch and its wiring, and move the wires one at a time so each goes back to the correct terminal. Make sure the actuator lines up with the latch and the switch clicks freely. After reassembly, test the microwave with a microwave-safe cup of water.
Frequently Asked Questions
My microwave won't heat or start. Is this the part I need?
A failed door switch is a common cause, but a microwave has several switches and other parts can cause the same symptoms. Identify which switch failed and confirm it is normally open before ordering.
Is this switch normally open or normally closed?
This is a normally open (NO) switch. It is not interchangeable with normally closed switches, which do a different job in the interlock system.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement from XPARTCO, made to replace part 3405-001034. If you specifically need a genuine part, contact our support team.
Will this fit my microwave?

XPARTCO WB24X10146 Microwave Door Switch
The XPARTCO WB24X10146 is an aftermarket replacement micro switch (also called a door interlock switch) compatible with a wide range of GE, Hotpoint, RCA, Kenmore, and Sears over-the-range and countertop microwaves. This is a "stand on" style normally-open (NO) interlock switch, identified by the internal designation KW3A-NO, that mounts near the door latch and only closes its circuit when the door is fully shut and latched. The control board reads this switch as part of a multi-switch safety interlock chain that confirms the door is secure before allowing the magnetron to energize.
When this switch fails, the microwave commonly won't start at all, trips a door-related error code, or in rare cases can allow the unit to run with the door not fully secured — which is a safety-relevant fault, not just a convenience one. It directly replaces WB24X10146, WB24X28941, MW-7100-33, AGE22794, AH1019163, AP3866977, 1166990, EA1019163, EAP1019163, PD00039881, PS1019163. Installs in 15–20 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO WB24X10146 Microwave Door Switch fixes GE, Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears microwaves that won't start, display a door-related error code, or have a door that doesn't reliably confirm as closed. Normally-open (NO) "stand on" interlock switch, rated 250VAC / 16A, with 0.187" (4.7mm) quick-connect terminals. Replaces WB24X10146, WB24X28941, MW-7100-33, AGE22794, AH1019163, AP3866977, 1166990, EA1019163, EAP1019163, PD00039881, PS1019163. Classic symptom: turntable light and display work, but pressing Start does nothing.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Microwave won't start when Start is pressed, even though the display and light work
Door-related error code or fault light on the display
Microwave randomly shuts off mid-cycle
Door feels like it isn't latching or registering as closed
Clicking sound from the door area with no response from the microwave
Intermittent operation that seems tied to how hard the door is closed
⚠ Safety-Relevant Component Door interlock switches are safety components that prevent the magnetron from energizing unless the door is fully closed and latched. Never bypass, jumper, or defeat a microwave door switch to "get it working" — doing so can allow microwave energy to leak while the door is open, which is a genuine radiation safety hazard. Always disconnect power before servicing, and replace all interlock switches in the chain if more than one shows signs of wear.
Cross Reference Information

Hotpoint microwaves (GE-built models)
RCA microwaves (GE-built models)
Kenmore and Sears microwaves (select GE-built models)
Note: Do not confuse this with the similarly styled EXP499/EXP497 microwave door switches, which also use 4.7mm terminals but are not the same switch. WB24X10146 is a "stand on" style switch specific to GE's own interlock design — always match by part number, not terminal size alone. Always verify your appliance model number before ordering.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Microwave Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet, and for built-in/over-the-range units also switch off the dedicated circuit breaker — microwaves store high voltage in the capacitor even after unplugging. Remove the outer cabinet or control panel cover to access the door switch assembly near the latch mechanism. Photograph the wiring before disconnecting, since GE microwaves typically use two or three interlock switches wired in sequence and mixing up the connections can leave the unit unsafe to operate. Disconnect the quick-connect terminals from the old switch, noting which wire goes to which terminal. Remove the mounting screw(s) holding the switch to its bracket and remove the old switch. Install the new WB24X10146 in the same position and secure it with the mounting screw(s). Reconnect the terminals exactly as photographed. Reassemble the cabinet or panel, restore power, and test that the door registers correctly and the microwave starts normally. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver (for cabinet screws).
Frequently Asked Questions
My microwave's display and turntable light work, but it won't start — is this the part?
This is a classic symptom of a failed door interlock switch. The control board needs a confirmed "door closed and latched" signal from all switches in the interlock chain before it will energize the magnetron. If that signal is missing from even one switch, most GE microwaves will power up normally but refuse to start a cook cycle. Confirm with a multimeter continuity test on the suspect switch before ordering, since GE microwaves usually use more than one interlock switch.
Is this the same as the EXP499 or EXP497 microwave door switch?
No — while all three use similar 4.7mm terminals, they are different switches used in different microwave platforms and are not interchangeable. WB24X10146 is GE's own "stand on" KW3A-NO design. Always match by part number rather than terminal size or general appearance.
Is it safe to keep using the microwave if I suspect this switch is bad?
We'd recommend not continuing to use it until it's repaired. Door interlock switches exist specifically to prevent microwave energy from leaking out while the door is open or not fully latched. If a switch is failing intermittently, the microwave may seem to work sometimes, but that's not a reason to keep using it — replace the switch before further use, and never attempt to bypass or jumper an interlock switch.
How many interlock switches does my GE microwave have, and do I need to replace them all?
Most GE microwaves use two or three interlock switches wired in sequence (often a primary switch, a secondary/monitor switch, and sometimes a door sensing switch). You typically only need to replace the specific switch that's testing bad, but if one has failed from age or wear, the others are often not far behind — some technicians replace the full set at once to avoid a repeat repair call.

XPARTCO W10913953 Washer Shift Actuator
The XPARTCO W10913953 is an aftermarket replacement washer shift actuator assembly compatible with select Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, Amana, Crosley, Inglis, and Roper top-load washers with VM (variable motor) transmissions — including Whirlpool Cabrio, Maytag Centennial, and Maytag Bravos series. The shift actuator is a small synchronous gearmotor assembly located beneath the washer tub that controls how the transmission shifts between agitation mode and spin mode during the wash cycle. It moves the arm on the cam ring assembly to engage the basket (for spinning) or disengage it and engage only the agitator or wash plate (for agitation). The shift actuator also contains an internal tachometer that continuously reports the basket's rotational speed to the control board.
When the shift actuator fails — most commonly due to a stripped or broken gear inside the gearmotor — the washer may not agitate, not spin, get stuck in one phase of the cycle, display error codes F7E1 or F7E5, or produce a loud grinding or clicking noise as the gears fail. This 6-pin plug assembly is rated 120V, 60Hz, 4W with a synchronous motor running at 3 RPM clockwise rotation. It measures 4-1/4"L x 2-3/4"W x 1-7/8"H and directly replaces W10815026, W10597177, WPW10597177, 4455082, 49TYZ-E120A1, 50SM21-1-221B, AP6037270, and PS11769864. Installs in 20–30 minutes with basic hand tools.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer and Shut Off Water Before Starting Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before beginning. The shift actuator is located beneath the washer tub on the drive shaft assembly. To access it, remove the washer cabinet by unscrewing the top panel and releasing the front panel, or lay the washer on its back if your model requires it. The shift actuator is mounted to the bottom of the drive shaft assembly with mounting screws and connects to the washer's control harness via a 6-pin plug. Photograph the wiring before disconnecting. Remove the mounting screws, disconnect the 6-pin harness, and slide the old actuator off the shaft. Install the new W10913953 actuator in the same position and orientation, secure the mounting screws, and reconnect the 6-pin harness. Reassemble the cabinet, restore power and water, and run a test cycle through both agitation and spin to confirm normal operation. Note: if grinding noise continues after replacing the actuator, inspect the pulley clutch kit (W10721967 / W10006384) for wear. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver, Torx screwdriver (T20 on some models).
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the shift actuator do in a top-load washer?
The shift actuator is a small synchronous gearmotor that controls the transmission shifting in Whirlpool Cabrio, Maytag Centennial, and Bravos-style VM-transmission top-load washers. During a wash cycle, the control board signals the actuator to move the cam ring arm — this engages or disengages the drive connection between the motor and the basket. When the cam moves one way, only the agitator or wash plate moves (agitation mode). When it moves the other way, the basket engages and spins at high speed (spin mode). The actuator also contains a tachometer that tells the control board how fast the basket is rotating, which the board uses to manage spin speed and detect imbalance.
What are error codes F7E1 and F7E5?
On compatible Whirlpool Cabrio and Maytag Centennial/Bravos top-load washers, F7E1 indicates a motor shift error — the actuator failed to complete the shift between agitate and spin mode within the expected time. F7E5 indicates a basket speed sensing fault — the tachometer inside the actuator is not providing a valid speed signal to the control board. Both codes are commonly caused by a failed shift actuator, though a failed drive motor, clutch assembly, or control board can also produce these codes. Replacing the shift actuator resolves both error codes in most cases.
Should I also check the pulley clutch kit?
Yes — if the shift actuator is replaced but the grinding noise persists, or if the washer still does not agitate or spin properly after the new actuator is installed, inspect the pulley clutch kit (W10721967 / W10006384). The clutch kit is a separate assembly that works in conjunction with the shift actuator to engage the drum. A worn or stripped clutch can produce the same symptoms as a failed actuator and is a common companion failure. Since the washer is already disassembled to replace the actuator, it is a good opportunity to inspect the clutch for wear.
What is the difference between W10913953 and W10815026?
The W10815026 was an earlier version of this shift actuator, and the W10913953 is the updated current replacement. Both are the same functional component — Whirlpool updated the part number during a production revision. The W10597177 and WPW10597177 are also cross-references for this same actuator. If your washer's parts diagram shows any of these older numbers, the W10913953 is the correct current replacement to order.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured with a synchronous gearmotor and ABS housing to match the electrical specifications and dimensions of the original W10913953 shift actuator.

AHA72973309 Genuine OEM LG Washer Drain & Circulation Pump Assembly
The AHA72973309 is a genuine LG OEM drain and circulation pump assembly for LG and select Kenmore front-load washers. This is a dual-purpose pump — an Askoll M120-2 unit — that handles two separate jobs from one motor and housing. During the drain portion of the cycle, it pumps wastewater out of the tub and out through the drain hose. During the wash and rinse portions, it switches roles and recirculates water from the bottom of the tub back up through the dispenser and spray nozzle, showering it back over the load. That recirculation spray is what lets LG's front-load washers clean effectively with less water than an older top-load design would need.
Because this single assembly performs both functions, a failure here can show up in more than one way: standing water left in the tub after a cycle, a washer that won't complete its drain step, unusual grinding or humming noise, or reduced wash performance if the recirculation spray isn't working even though draining still seems fine. Common causes include debris such as coins, buttons, or lint lodged in the impeller, general wear and tear on the motor bearings, or an electrical failure in the pump motor itself. It directly replaces AP5676608, 2659237, AHA72973304, and PS7788830. As a genuine OEM part, the AHA72973309 is manufactured by LG to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.
Quick Answer
The AHA72973309 Genuine OEM LG Washer Drain & Circulation Pump Assembly fixes LG and select Kenmore front-load washers with standing water left in the tub after a cycle, a washer that won't drain, unusual grinding or humming noise, or reduced wash performance from a weak recirculation spray. Askoll M120-2 dual-purpose pump — handles both draining and mid-cycle water recirculation. Replaces AP5676608, 2659237, AHA72973304, PS7788830. Installation is average difficulty, 30 to 60 minutes — and on many models it's accessible through the front panel without needing to tip the washer over.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Standing water left in the tub after a cycle finishes
Washer won't drain, or drains very slowly
Drainage-related error code displayed on the control panel
Unusual grinding, humming, or rattling noise during the drain or wash portion of the cycle
Reduced wash performance — clothes not getting as clean, possibly from a weak recirculation spray
Washer stalling mid-cycle at the drain step
Water leaking from underneath the washer near the pump housing
Pump that hums but doesn't seem to move water — possible clog or seized impeller

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer And Shut Off Water Before Starting — Drain Residual Water First Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker, and close the water supply valves before beginning. Wear work gloves. Place towels down and have a shallow pan ready, since the pump housing will hold residual water even after a completed cycle — draining this into a pan before disconnecting hoses will save you a mess. On many models, this pump is fully accessible by removing the front lower access panel or kick plate, without needing to tip the washer onto its back — check this first, since it can save significant time and effort compared to some online guides that recommend tipping the unit. Photograph the hose routing and wiring connections before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the two hose clamps connecting the pump to the tub and drain hose, and unplug the electrical connector from the pump motor. Remove the mounting screws or clips securing the pump assembly and lift it free, checking the impeller area for coins, buttons, or debris while it's out — clearing a clog here may have been the actual cause of the original symptom. Install the new AHA72973309 in the same orientation, reconnect both hoses with their clamps, and reconnect the electrical connector fully. Reinstall the front access panel, restore water and power, and run a short cycle to confirm normal draining, recirculation spray, and no leaks around the pump housing. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, hose clamp pliers, shallow pan or towels, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need to tip the washer over to replace this pump?
Not necessarily — check your model first. While a lot of general online guidance recommends tipping the washer onto its back to access the pump from underneath, many LG and Kenmore Elite front-load models make this pump fully accessible through the front lower access panel or kick plate instead, without any tipping required. It's worth removing that panel first and seeing what you find before committing to the more involved tip-over approach.
Why does this one pump handle both draining and something during the wash cycle?
LG's front-load washers use this same Askoll pump for two different jobs at different points in the cycle: pumping wastewater out during the drain step, and recirculating water from the bottom of the tub back up through the dispenser and spray nozzle during wash and rinse to shower it over the load. That recirculation spray is part of how these washers clean effectively while using less water than an older top-load design. Because one pump does both jobs, a failure can affect draining, wash performance, or both, depending on what's actually gone wrong inside it.
There's water left in the tub after every cycle. Is this definitely the pump?
It's one of the most common causes, but check the easy things first. A clogged drain filter or a kinked drain hose can produce the same "won't drain" symptom and cost nothing to fix. If the filter and hose are clear and water is still standing in the tub, or if the pump hums but doesn't seem to move any water, the pump assembly itself has likely failed.
My washer drains fine but clothes aren't coming out as clean. Could this pump be the cause?
Possibly. Since this same assembly also handles the recirculation spray during wash, a partial failure can leave draining intact while weakening or eliminating that spray function, which reduces how effectively detergent and water reach the load. If drainage is normal but wash performance has noticeably declined, it's worth having this pump checked as one possible cause alongside things like detergent dosing and water hardness.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by LG to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It includes the same Askoll M120-2 dual-function pump design, wiring, and mounting configuration as the drain and circulation pump assembly originally installed in your front-load washer.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer and Shut Off Water Before Starting — Work Gloves Recommended Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before beginning. Wear work gloves throughout. The drain pump is mounted on the underside of the outer tub — to access it, disconnect the water supply hoses, drain hose, and lid switch wiring, then carefully tilt the washer onto its back or side on a padded surface. Locate the pump on the bottom of the tub. Using a 5/16" nut driver, remove the three mounting screws securing the pump assembly to the tub. Release the two spring clamps with channel-lock pliers and disconnect the inlet and outlet hoses from the pump. Disconnect the wiring harness and remove the old pump. Install the new W11396717 pump in the same position, reconnect hoses and clamps, reconnect the wiring harness, and secure with the three mounting screws. Return the washer to upright, reconnect all hoses and wiring, restore power and water, and run a drain/spin cycle to confirm drainage and check for leaks. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 5/16" nut driver, channel-lock pliers, padded surface for tilting, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between W11396717 and W11263349?
These are the same drain pump assembly across two production revisions. W11263349 was the original part number, and W11396717 is the current updated version that supersedes it. Whirlpool issues updated part numbers when minor engineering changes are made during production. Both are the same pump with the same specifications, dimensions, and function. If your washer's parts diagram shows W11263349, the W11396717 is the correct current replacement to order.
Why does accessing this pump require tilting the washer?
On compatible Whirlpool WTW and Maytag MVW HE top-load washers, the drain pump is mounted directly to the underside of the outer tub — not on the cabinet side panel or behind a front access panel as on some other models. The pump's three mounting screws are only reachable from below the machine. The standard repair procedure is to unplug and disconnect the washer, tilt it onto its back or side on a padded surface, access the pump from underneath, and return the washer to upright after installation.
How do I know if it's the drain pump versus a blocked drain hose?
Before replacing the pump, check the drain hose for kinks or blockages — disconnect the hose and blow through it to confirm it is clear. Also check whether the drain hose standpipe height is within the recommended range (typically 39–96 inches from the floor). If the hose is clear and properly positioned but the washer still won't drain, listen during the drain phase: a completely silent drain cycle (motor not running) suggests a failed motor or control board issue, while a humming or grinding noise during drain confirms the pump motor is receiving power but the pump is mechanically failed and needs replacement.
Is this pump the same as the W10876600 used in older Whirlpool Cabrio models?
No — the W11396717 and the W10876600 are different drain pumps for different Whirlpool top-load washer generations. The W10876600 (and its successor WPW10730972) is used in older Whirlpool Cabrio and Maytag Centennial models. The W11396717 is used in newer WTW5100/6120/7120/8120 and MVW6200/6230/7230/7232/8230 series models. They are not interchangeable — verify your model number before ordering.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications. It is the exact same drain pump assembly installed in compatible Whirlpool, Maytag, and Kenmore top-load washers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.
