The clutch ensures that the tub reaches the appropriate spin speed, thereby effectively removing water from clothes.

Causes of a bad clutch can include wear and tear from regular use, overloading the washing machine, or damage due to an imbalance during the spin cycle. When the clutch becomes faulty, the washing machine may struggle to spin or agitate correctly, affecting the overall efficiency of the appliance.

Symptoms of a bad clutch include:

The Coupling Washer is a genuine OEM part for LG washing machines. As a crucial component connecting the drive motor to the inner drum, the coupling washer allows for the transmission of rotational force during the spin cycle.

Symptoms of a bad coupling washer include:

• The washing machine fails to spin or rotates very slowly
• Vibrations and noise during spinning
• Rubber couplings tearing or shredding prematurely

Over time, the constant exposure to vibrations and forces during spin cycles can cause the rubber material of the coupling washer to deteriorate. 

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore washers.
