What is a wig-wag on a transmission

I think its something that controls the tranny

When my washer goes bang when it starts spinning is that the soilenoid ?

Wig-wag

On a belt drive whirlpool built machine (kenmore, inglis, whateva) the wig-wag is the solinoid on the transmission that controls agitation and spinning. It got the endearing name "wig-wag" because it swings back and forth in time with the agitator.

The belt drive normally make this kind of noise when they shift to spin. Is this a new or recent problem? If it is a new problem, then it may have to have more attention. If not, it is probably normal.

DD's don't have wig-wags. A clunk noise is normal on a dd after the pause after draining when the motor reverses and shifts to spin.
