It's the shaft that links the motor to the agitator and basket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAgitator slipping or basket not turning on a SmartDrive washer\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn a SmartDrive machine the rotor fixes to the bottom of the shaft, and the shaft turns the agitator during the wash and the basket during spin. Worn splines are the usual failure, leaving the motor turning while the agitator barely moves or slips under load. Other signs are a grinding or knocking sound from under the bowl, a basket that won't spin up to speed, and play you can feel when you rock the agitator by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Fisher \u0026amp; Paykel part 429562P\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlso listed as 420794P\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrive shaft kit for SmartDrive top loaders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMore than 50 SmartDrive models on file\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReplacing the drive shaft\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a bigger job, so allow time and have a helper to tip the machine. Unplug it and turn off the taps. Typically the agitator, bowl parts and rotor all come off to reach the shaft. Note the order of every washer, spring and seal as it comes apart, check the kit contents against the old parts, and refit in the same sequence before a test load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs 420794P the same as 429562P?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, 420794P is listed as the alternative number for this drive shaft.
