This is the drive motor that powers your washer's drive system. It turns the basket for wash and spin, restoring smooth, reliable operation when the original motor is weak, noisy, or fails to start. What it does and common symptoms:

• Provides the torque needed to rotate the basket during wash and spin cycles
• Symptoms of a failing motor include: no agitate, no spin, or cycle stalling
• Can trigger motor/drive-related error indications on some models

• 1 drive motor

• Disconnect power and turn off water supply before servicing
• Access the motor per your model's service procedure; label and transfer connectors one at a time
• Ensure the drive system turns freely by hand; correct any binding in related components before powering on
• After installation, run a diagnostic or spin test to verify operation

This genuine replacement part is a drive motor for dryers. The drive motor is the main engine that allows the dryer drum to rotate. If the drum is no longer spinning properly, the drive motor might need to be replaced. Luckily this is a relatively simple process.To replace the drive motor, begin by unplugging the dryer. Once it is powered off, uninstall the front panel of the dryer by removing the screws that attach it. After that, lift the top panel above the drum so that it is vertical and no longer covering the drum. Then disconnect the wires from the moisture sensors with a screwdriver by pressing down on the locking tab. Once the wires have been removed, lift the drum out from the dryer to gain access to the drive motor. Using a socket wrench, remove the blower wheel from the motor assembly. Then remove the old drive motor by unthreading the mounting screws that attach it. Install the new drive motor and reassemble the dryer. This OEM replacement part is sold individually and is compatible with Whirlpools, Maytag, Kitchenaid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Sears/Kenmore brand dryers.

This drive motor powers the appliance's main drive system, converting electrical energy into steady rotation under load. Replacing a weak, noisy, or seized motor restores proper movement and dependable operation. What it does

• Provides the mechanical torque that turns the appliance's drive system
• Resolves symptoms like no movement, humming/buzzing without turning, or stalling under load
• Helps eliminate intermittent starting and overheating shutdowns
• Reduces grinding/squealing motor noises caused by worn bearings or a failing armature

• One drive motor assembly

• Disconnect power before servicing; also shut off gas supply
• Take photos/label wires, then transfer connectors and any mounting parts from the old motor
• Ensure the motor spins freely and the belt/pulley alignment is correct before reassembly
• After installation, perform a brief test run while observing for smooth, quiet operation

This is the stirrer motor assembly that drives the metal stirrer in the microwave's waveguide. A working stirrer helps distribute microwave energy more evenly, reducing hot and cold spots for consistent heating.

• Rotates the mode stirrer to spread RF energy inside the cavity
• Symptoms of a failing motor can include uneven heating, cold spots, buzzing or grinding from the waveguide area, or the stirrer not turning
• May restore even cooking performance when the original motor is worn or seized

• Unplug the appliance before servicing; high-voltage components in microwaves can retain a dangerous charge
• Remove the grill/cover and access panel to reach the stirrer motor location
• Transfer any mounting hardware from the original part if not supplied
• Ensure the stirrer blade or coupler is correctly seated and turns freely before reassembly

This is the drive motor for a dryer. This part rotates the drum belt, which turns the drum. The drive motor also turns the blower wheel to create airflow throughout the dryer drum.A common sign that the drive motor has gone bad is that the dryer makes a humming noise. If this part is faulty, the dryer drum will not turn. Before replacing this part, check to see if there is a blown thermal fuse or if there is a faulty door switch on electric dryers. On gas dryers, check to see if there is a failed door switch. Be sure to unplug the dryer from its power source before attempting to replace this part. The drive motor is sold individually. This particular part is compatible with dryers that are manufactured by Whirlpool and Maytag. It is a genuine OEM part that is sourced from the manufacturer.

This drive motor has been manufactured by Whirlpool and is intended to replace a worn or faulty part in dryers.The drive motor enables the dryer to work as intended because it rotates the drive belt, which in turn spins the drum. Without a working motor, the drum won't rotate efficiently or at all and the materials and clothes will not be dried properly. Thus, a broken drive motor should be immediately replaced. To ensure safety when working on this appliance, make sure it has been entirely disconnected from the power source and work gloves are worn to prevent injuries from occurring.This is a genuine OEM part sourced from the manufacturer and is compatible with various dryers that have been made by Whirlpool, Maytag, Amana, and other brands. This part has been manufactured from high-quality, durable, non-corrosive materials to ensure the best possible quality and is only sold individually.

This axial motor assembly drives a cooling fan to move air through the appliance, helping protect internal components from heat. Replacing a worn or noisy unit restores ventilation and reduces heat-related shutdowns or performance issues.

• Circulates air across heat-generating parts to dissipate heat
• Helps maintain stable operating temperature and protect electronics
• Failure signs can include the fan not running, intermittent operation, loud or grinding noise, overheating, or a burning smell
• Inadequate airflow may trigger thermal cutoffs or nuisance shutdowns

• Disconnect power before servicing; allow hot components to cool
• Access the motor location and note wire positions; take photos for reference
• Transfer any brackets or grommets from the old unit if required; keep wiring clear of the fan path
• After mounting, hand-spin the fan to ensure free movement before restoring power and checking airflow

This drive motor powers the rotating component in your appliance, restoring smooth, reliable motion when the original motor is worn, seized, or noisy. Use it to fix no-rotation issues and inconsistent operation.

• Converts electrical energy into torque to rotate the attached component as designed for your model
• Helps resolve symptoms like no movement, stalling, or slow/intermittent rotation
• Restores consistent, dependable rotation under normal load

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing; appliances may contain sharp edges and high-voltage components—use caution
• Note wire/connector orientation and transfer any mounting grommets or brackets from the old motor
• Ensure the driven component turns freely by hand before restoring power
• After installation, run a short functional test to confirm proper rotation
