Shift Actuator
This synchronous motor and optical sensor assembly is responsible for mechanically shifting the washer from spin to agitate mode. If the internal motor fails or the optical sensor cannot verify the position of the cam, the control board will not allow the motor to begin agitation. This is the most frequent failure point in Whirlpool VMW models.

Drive Hub Kit
The drive hub sits between the inner wash basket and the transmission shaft, utilizing plastic splines to transfer rotational energy. Over time, or due to overloading, these plastic teeth can strip completely against the metal shaft. This results in the motor and transmission turning without any corresponding movement of the agitator or wash plate.

Agitator Directional Cogs
In dual-action agitator models, these four plastic ratchets (dogs) allow the top portion of the agitator to spin in one direction while preventing it from spinning backwards. When the plastic 'ears' on these cogs wear down from friction, the top of the agitator will fail to move during the wash cycle while the bottom continues to oscillate.
