It fit perfectly and fixed my noisy washer at the end of the spin cycle. Get the $10 spanner wrench for the spanner nut that holds the drive block in place and everything comes out with only minor persuasion.

Perfect fit, good quality

Perfect fit

The original drive block no longer fit properly and was preventing the basket from spinning on the spin cycle. When the new one came in i noticed that it was made far better than the original one. I put it on and it works perfect.

Excellently made part. Fits on the spindle TIGHT which is what you want. Take care to line the tabs up as best you can before driving this down the spindle so you don't have to beat on it to twist it one way or the other. A pro tip for installation...get the new one started ever so slightly square on the spindle and then use the old drive block to hit on with your hammer. Just set it on top of the new one and hit it instead of the new block. You can get it 95% of the way down the spindle this way and then I just got a piece of 2x4 to hit on to get it the rest of the way. 13 dollar part saved me from having to buy a new washer.

Went in with ease. After a couple months of use at 6 loads a week? I can tell you it is working exactly as it should. No issues. Satisfied with the quality.

This part is made of inferior cast pot metal. It literally disintegrated within 10 wash cycles. No warranty outside of the 30 day Amazon return policy. Buy a genuine Whirlpool drive block.

Super easy to replace, once you get past your fear of smacking the very large "washer/nut", that is located immediately above this drive block. I used a 3-4" long dowel, with a hammer, to pound counter clock-wise, on the very large nut Because I did not buy a replacement "nut", I made every effort to pound on the original, without destroying it. There were definitely times that I wanted to use power tools and decimate it! If you find a kit that contains the big washer and the drive block, feel free to beat the crap out of that big washer nut, to remove it. Otherwise, all went well. Once I removed the drive block, the whole metal tub, came up and out. One notable thing, the original drive block was only slightly worn (after two years), but did not look bad, or too worn to continue working. Since I only paid $12 to get a new one, I replaced it anyway. All and all, this was an easy fix, once you look up how to do it.
