Direct Drive Motor Coupling

$18.89

Fix Number: FIX1485646
Manufacturer Part Number: 285753A

This is an OEM direct drive motor coupling, which provides a cushioned connection between the transmission and the motor shaft. This is the newer version of this part, made with new metal sleeves for added strength. It is located between the motor and transmission on direct drive washers with no belt. If the drive system seizes, the coupling is designed to break to prevent the drive motor from damage. Consequently, this part may need to be replaced as your appliance ages. Never overload your washer, as this can speed up its deterioration. Symptoms of a faulty motor coupling include a washer pumping but not spinning, slow spinning, the washer not agitating, and unusual noises. This coupling kit contains all the parts necessary to replace your existing direct drive motor coupling. Please note, that after replacing the motor coupling your washer may smell like burning rubber for the first few uses, this is entirely normal as the part becomes acclimated to the machine. Each is sold individually.

ROTOR

$143.68

Fix Number: FIX11769961
Manufacturer Part Number: W10915701

This motor rotor is a genuine OEM part designed for washers. It connects to the spin basket shaft, enabling the rotation of the spin basket during the wash cycle. Over time, the rotor can become worn out or damaged, leading to issues with the spinning function of your washer. Before installing the motor rotor, ensure the washer is unplugged to avoid any electrical hazards. It is always recommended to wear work gloves for protection during installation. Check your washer’s model to ensure compatibility with this part, as rotor sizes and shapes may vary between models.
