The stator assembly is the stationary coil pack of the washer's direct-drive motor. Replacing a failed stator restores the electromagnetic drive that turns the drum for reliable start-up, rotation, and full spin performance.

• Generates the magnetic field that drives the rotor to turn the tub
• Works with the rotor and speed sensor to control drum speed and direction
• Helps resolve no-spin/no-tumble, weak or intermittent spin, or motor humming without rotation
• Visible winding damage or scorching can indicate stator failure

• Disconnect power and water; allow components to cool before servicing
• Remove the rear panel and the rotor before unbolting the stator; protect wiring from strain
• Transfer any sensors/wiring from the original stator as needed; seat connectors fully
• Tighten mounting bolts evenly and verify proper rotor-to-stator clearance before reassembly

This Leg Adjusting Wrench is a simple tool used to turn and secure appliance leveling legs so washers and dryers sit flat and operate quietly. It makes adjusting legs faster and helps reduce rocking and vibration. What it does:

• Fits over standard appliance leveling legs to raise or lower each corner
