This genuine OEM part is a washer motor. The washer motor is the main engine that drives the washer tub allowing it to rotate and wash clothes effectively. After continuous use, a washer motor can become inoperable. If the washer is no longer spinning or the power has significantly decreased, it might be a sign that the motor needs to be replaced. To replace the motor, start by unplugging the washer. Once unplugged, move the washer away from the wall to gain access to the back panel. Uninstall the back panel by removing the screws that attach it. After removal, locate the drive motor and proceed to unthread the mounting bolts holding it to the washer. Proceed to pull the old motor out of its place. Make sure to detach the wire harness and any individual wires on the motor. Reinsert the wires into their correct terminals and install the new motor by threading the bolts that secure it. This replacement part is sold individually and is sourced directly from the manufacturer. It is compatible with Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, Sears, and Kenmore brand washers.
