Kendall M. for Model Number WM2075CW Is it recommended to change out both the Stator Assembly and Rotor Assembly at the same time?... Poor design lead to center and outer bearing loss, also Rotor Assembly and Stator Assembly replacement, all due to a center drum seal. I'm replacing center and outer bearings and seal. After cleaning off a thick layer of rust corrosion off Stator, noticed near one of the copper wrappings a melted area about 3/16" x 1". It's like it heated up just there. The Rotor assembly with free movement (spinning water off) doesn't seem to be damaged, there are no cracks in magnets or loose ones. My question is, is it necessary to replace the Rotor Assembly...
Answer Kendall, The information you supplied would indicate that you will need to replace the Stator Assembly 4417EA1002Y / 4417EA1002Y and strongly consider replacing the RPS Switch 6501KW2002B / 6501KW2002A. If there are no cracks, chips or loose magnets, you should be able to "clean up" any debris or deposits on the rotor assembly and reuse it, just make sure you don't dislodge or damage the magnets or splined area in the center of the rotor.
