Whirlpool & Sears Kenmore belt drive parts break down AMERICAN SERVICE DEPT.

The function of the control magnet is to raise or lower the plungers, shifting the cam bars to either the agitation or spin position. One coil shifts the cam bar that engages/disengages the spin cycle, the other shifts the trans mission into or out of agitation and also moves the lever on the pump for drain or no drain.

Be sure to check the wiring to the coils they are known for breaking then you get no voltage to the coils.

This part comes as a complete assembly.
