Whirlpool Washer Actuator - W10913953

Restore washer mode shifting and spin control with this genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Actuator - W10913953. The actuator shifts the washer between agitation and spin functions and monitors position on supported washer platforms.

W10913953 is a genuine Whirlpool-manufactured washer mode shift actuator - 6-pin used when the original part is worn, damaged, missing, leaking, noisy, or no longer performing correctly. The key to a correct order is matching the exact appliance model number and the original part design, not just the visible part name.

Fits These Brands / Families: Select Whirlpool, Maytag, Amana, and Kenmore vertical modular washer platforms that use the 6-pin actuator.

This part commonly replaces previous part numbers including W10815026.

Fitment / What To Verify: Verify the full washer model number, 6-pin harness, actuator mounting style, splutch/cam condition, belt condition, and diagnostic fault codes. Actuator symptoms often overlap with belt, hub, and splutch failures.

Please confirm fitment with your appliance model number before ordering.

Is it time to replace?

• Common Symptoms: Washer will not agitate, will not spin, skips cycles, lid lock errors tied to cycle progression, grinding during shift, or slow spin.
• Visible/Sensory Cues: Broken actuator arm, damaged wiring, water intrusion, actuator motor noise, or fault codes for shift/position feedback.

Pro Tip: Inspect the splutch cam and drive belt before replacing only the actuator. A worn cam can prevent a good actuator from shifting correctly.
