It monitors and shifts the splutch position with a 6-pin connector and resolves common symptoms when the original actuator wears out. Use this part when your washer won’t shift between agitate and spin, displays F7E5\/F7E6-style errors, or makes unusual noises during cycle changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow will this actuator fix a washer that won’t shift or spin?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe actuator electrically moves the splutch assembly so the transmission can engage agitate or spin modes. When the actuator fails it can’t reposition the splutch, which prevents the tub from changing cycles. Installing a new W10913953 actuator restores that movement so the machine can complete its programmed cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReplaces worn or noisy actuator causing failed cycle shifts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAddresses symptoms like no spin, no agitate, or F7E5\/F7E6 errors\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUses original-style 6-pin connector for straightforward wiring swap\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSynchronous 120V motor with CW rotation for correct timing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich washer models and OEM numbers are compatible?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis LUXRILIX actuator fits a broad list of top-load models from Maytag, Whirlpool, Amana, Kenmore, Crosley, Roper and Admiral.
