8212396 Whirlpool Mixer Metal Gearcase Housing with Gasket

The Mixer Metal Gearcase Housing with Gasket is a genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part designed for Whirlpool washing machines. It serves as the protective casing for the gearbox and transmission system, ensuring that the internal mechanical components are safeguarded and function efficiently. This housing facilitates the effective transfer of power from the motor to the washing machine's drum.

Damage to the transmission housing may occur due to several reasons such as physical impacts, overloading the machine, or natural deterioration from prolonged use.

Indications of a malfunctioning Transmission Housing include:

- Leakage of lubricants or water around the housing area.
- Uncommon sounds during operation, suggesting that the internal parts may be misaligned or exposed.
- Challenges with the drum's movement or agitation, which may signal problems within the transmission system.

This Whirlpool part is also compatible with various other brands including Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and certain Kenmore models.
