This is a genuine Zodiac Side A direction control device, built to the same spec as the original gear module that ships in MX8 and MX6 cleaners. It is the correct choice when the cleaner loses its ability to turn, reverse, or cover the pool evenly. Pairing it with a new Side B device and fresh tracks is the closest thing to a full steering rebuild without buying a new cleaner.
- Zodiac MX8/MX6 Direction Control Device Side B | R0524800
- Zodiac MX8/MX6 Track Replacement | R0526100
Q: How do I know if Side A needs replacement?
A: Common signs are the cleaner only turning one way, looping in place, or failing to reverse. If hoses and tracks look good and the engine still drives, the Side A/B gearboxes are the next thing to inspect.
Q: Does this fit both MX8 and MX6 models?
A: Yes. R0524700 is the OEM Side A direction control device for MX8, MX8 Elite, MX6, and MX6 Elite cleaners.
Q: Should I replace Side B at the same time?
A: It’s smart to. Both gear modules age together. Replacing Side A and Side B together gives you a clean baseline and usually eliminates recurring navigation problems.

Zodiac MX8/MX6 Direction Control Device Side A | R0524700
ixes MX8/MX6 cleaners that only turn one way, loop, or stop covering the pool.
Features
- OEM Side A direction control device for Zodiac MX8, MX8 Elite, MX6, and MX6 Elite cleaners
- Replaces worn gear module that controls forward, reverse, and turning cycles
- Direct factory part R0524700 with correct gearing and timing
- Drop-in assembly mounts inside the cleaner body; no special tools or setup
- Durable plastic housing and gear train built for wet, chlorinated pool environments
- Helps stop “stuck,” looping, or one-direction cleaning behavior
Description
This is a genuine Zodiac/Jandy part designed specifically for MX8, MX8 Elite, MX6, and MX6 Elite models. The complete gear module drops into the existing cavity in the cleaner body, so you’re not rebuilding individual gears. Pop the old unit out, install the new one, reassemble the top cover, and the cleaner is back to doing full-pool passes instead of wandering.
Pro Tip
If the cleaner has been running with worn gears for a while, replace Side B (R0524800) at the same time and inspect the tracks (R0526100) for flat spots or stretching. Navigation problems usually show up as a combination of worn direction devices and tired tracks, not just one part.
