Customer Questions and Answers for Drive Motor Assembly by Whirlpool

Hello Robert. The motors WP8182793 are not to hard to change out. Here are the instructions from the manufacture. Hope this helps. The drive motor can be removed once the back panel has been removed. Twelve screws secure the back panel to the washer. Remove the 12 screws and remove the back panel. Remove the Drive Belt. Disconnect the wiring harness connectors and ground wires from the drive motor terminals. Push the wiring harness tie from the motor mounting bracket. Remove the mounting bolt securing the motor to the tub and remove the motor. Reinstall in reverse order.
