The Motor Assembly is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. It drives the agitator and drum, enabling the machine to effectively clean and rinse clothes during the wash cycle. The motor assembly is crucial for the proper operation and performance of the washing machine.
Over time, the motor assembly can wear out or become damaged due to factors such as heavy usage, electrical issues, or mechanical failures. These problems can lead to a malfunctioning motor, affecting the washer's ability to operate correctly.
Symptoms of a bad Motor Assembly include:
- The washer not spinning or agitating
- Unusual noises during operation
- The drum not moving
- The washer failing to start
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
