Parts for Maytag MVWC215EW1: 05 - Gearcase, Motor And Pump Parts

The Washer Pump Assembly, Drain, is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This component is essential for removing water from the washer tub during the drain cycle, ensuring that clothes are properly rinsed and spun dry.

Common causes of a bad drain pump include blockages from lint, debris, or foreign objects, wear and tear from regular use, and electrical issues such as a burned-out motor. These problems can prevent the pump from effectively draining water.

Symptoms of a bad drain pump assembly include:

• Washer not draining properly or at all
• Unusual noises during the drain cycle
• Water left in the washer after the cycle completes
• Error codes related to drainage issues

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

This factory fastener secures appliance panels and components for a tight, rattle-free fit. Replace a missing, stripped, or corroded screw to keep assemblies aligned and performing as intended.

• Fastens panels, brackets, or assemblies in place
• Helps reduce vibration and rattling caused by loose hardware
• Maintains proper alignment of parts to prevent premature wear
• Common signs you need it: missing screw, loose panel, vibration/buzzing noises, or hardware that won't tighten

• Disconnect power; for gas or water-connected appliances, shut off supply lines before service
• Match the screw to the original; verify size, length, and thread before installation
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; use the correct driver bit
• Snug only—do not overtighten, especially into plastic or thin sheet metal

The Washer Gear Case is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. It is a critical component that houses the gears responsible for the rotation and agitation of the washer drum. This gear case ensures that the washer performs its washing cycles effectively by providing the necessary mechanical movements.

Causes of a bad gear case can include wear and tear from prolonged use, lubrication breakdown leading to increased friction, or damage from overloading the washer. Additionally, exposure to water leaks can lead to corrosion and deterioration of the internal components.

Symptoms of a bad gear case include:

• Unusual grinding or clunking noises during the wash cycle
• The drum not spinning or agitating properly
• Leaks of oil or grease underneath the washer
• The washer failing to complete its cycles

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

This 1/4 HP motor assembly replaces a worn drive motor to restore proper drive power and rotation. It's a direct-fit mechanical motor intended to bring moving components back to OEM performance and reliable operation. What it does

• Provides drive power for the appliance's rotating components to restore normal operation.
• Replaces a failed or noisy motor that causes little or no rotation, intermittent operation, or a humming/stalling condition.
• Helps eliminate abnormal motor noise, vibration, or overheating when the motor is the root cause.
• Restores consistent mechanical speed and torque for components that rely on the motor to function.

• One 1/4 HP motor assembly

• Disconnect power before servicing; follow all safety precautions.
• Verify mounting orientation, shaft alignment, and proper belt/drive configuration during reassembly.
• Inspect and replace worn belts, pulleys, or mounting hardware as needed to prevent repeat failures.

The Drive Clutch Kit is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool washing machines. As an integral transmission component, it includes the clutch that engages the drive motor to rotate the central agitator or impeller. 

Causes of a bad clutch kit include worn parts that have aged from repeated use. Signs include slipping, grinding, or clicking noises from the transmission area.

Symptoms of a faulty clutch kit are:

• The washer tub failing to turn or agitate clothes during wash cycles  
• Delayed starts or intermittent rotation
• Vibration or shaking sensed from the frontloader or toploader

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models. 

The washer drive belt transfers motor power to the washer’s drive system so the basket spins and agitates. Replacing a stretched or broken belt helps stop squealing and slipping so cycles finish at proper spin speed.

What it does

• Links the drive motor to the washer’s drive/pulley system
• Restores spin and agitation when the belt is worn, glazed, or broken
• Can reduce squeal or burning-rubber smells from belt slip
• Helps prevent intermittent or no-spin conditions

What’s included
One drive belt.

Install notes

• Unplug power; turn off water
• Tip the washer back; remove the bottom shield/cover if present
• Route the belt over the motor and drive pulleys; rotate by hand to seat fully
• Inspect pulleys/drive parts for wear; run a spin or calibration test after install

This OEM Whirlpool belt is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore washer models.

The Shifter Actuator is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool washing machines. It is an electronic component located in the transmission assembly that controls the shifting between wash cycles. The shifter actuator receives signals from the control panel to change the drum rotation speed and direction depending on the selected wash cycle settings.

Symptoms of a bad shifter actuator include:

• The washer fails to change cycles or stay on one speed setting 
• Abnormal noises coming from the transmission area
• Delayed or hesitant shifting between cycles

Causes of failure are usually due to normal wear and tear over prolonged use. Not replacing the shifter actuator can result in transmission damage over time.

This OEM replacement part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models. 

Note: This part has been redesigned and may appear different from the one you’re replacing. The small hood may have to be removed for proper installation.

This capacitor stores and releases electrical energy to give the appliance's circuit the boost and stability it needs to start and run properly. Replacing a weak or shorted capacitor can restore reliable operation and reduce strain on related components. What it does
