Customer Questions and Answers for Motor Stator (Washer) by Whirlpool

This motor stator is the stationary windings for a direct-drive washer motor. Working with the rotor, it creates the magnetic field that turns the basket. Replacing a failed stator restores consistent wash and spin performance. What it does

• Provides the fixed windings for the direct-drive motor
• Works with the rotor to spin and tumble the basket
• Failure can cause no spin/tumble, intermittent movement, or loud humming
• May lead to motor/speed-related error codes and cycle shutdowns

• 1 motor stator assembly

• Disconnect power before servicing; allow moving parts to stop
• Access is typically from the rear; remove the rotor to expose the stator
• Handle the rotor's strong magnets carefully and keep metal objects clear
• Route and seat the wiring exactly as original; tighten mounting bolts evenly
