Does DCI repair broken agitator shafts on prop and shaft assemblies?

Yes. DCI can repair broken or bent agitator shafts on prop and shaft assemblies by attaching a new shaft. This process also involves services to rebalance and reface the prop and shaft assembly once the shaft is attached. DCI can restore your prop and shaft assembly for almost half the cost of a new one. To send prop and shaft assemblies back for repair, please contact a parts customer service representative at (320) 252-8200 for a Return Goods Authorization (RGA) number and for more details on price and shipping.

How do I return a part or components for credit or repair?

In order to return a part or component for credit or repair, you must contact a parts customer service representative for a Return Goods Authorization (RGA) number. There will be a 30% restocking fee, which will apply to the amount being credited. If a part is non-stock, it is non-returnable; therefore, it does not qualify for a refund.
