This drive motor and pulley assembly powers the belt-driven system to rotate the drum or tub. Replacing a weak or seized motor restores consistent rotation and reliable cycle performance on compatible 120V/60Hz models. What it does:
- Drives the belt that turns the drum or tub for wash/spin or tumble
- Provides correct 120V/60Hz operation for North American units designed for this spec
- Helps address symptoms like humming with no start, drum/tub not turning, belt not moving, or burning/motor smell
- Replaces a worn pulley to improve belt tracking and reduce slippage or squeal
What's included:
- 1 motor and pulley assembly
Install notes:
- Disconnect power before servicing; for gas units, also shut off gas supply
- Relieve belt tension, note routing, and transfer wiring/connectors from the old motor
- Align the pulley and set proper belt tension; rotate by hand to verify free movement before restoring power
