The Whirlpool W10913953 is a Genuine Whirlpool OEM mode shift actuator used on select top-load washers. It uses a 6-pin wire connection and works with the washer drive system to change operating mode.
A failed or binding actuator can be associated with problems changing between wash/agitate and spin functions when diagnosis confirms the actuator or related drive components are at fault. Because several Whirlpool-built washer actuator designs exist, connector style and full model number should be verified before ordering.
