Sandeep Amin February 21, 2021 for Model Number KAWE777BWH0 I need to replace my drive motor WP3350418 and unfortunately cant find one. I came across WP3352287 on your site and the specifications are similar and it also seems the mount dimensions are close. In your opinion can i use WP3352287 to replace WP3350418. Thanks
1 Answer Sandeep Amin, The only parts we could guarantee function is the manufacturer's suggested part. Some of these motors have different connectors and speeds. You could google search the manufacturer's part number to try and find one. Read More...
Jose August 20, 2020 I have a Kenmore washer with motor PN 3352287and it leads me to #3352287 Washer Motor, Main Drive, can you confirm this will fit the Kenmore? Also, I don't see price. thanks!
1 Answer Jose, the motor drive WP3352287 is a manufacturer direct replacement for the original part number 3352287. The available part information can be viewed on the item page. Read More...
Roberto Frostedo March 30, 2020 for Model Number 110.26912691 Kenmore Series 90 washer. Motor overheated / smelly after agitation cycle / full drum of soapy water. Next day I pulled the motor & started it with no load. 70% of the time it just hums. 30% of the time it will start up, click & spin fast & fine. I can spin the drum by hand by turning the nylon coupler that connects the motor to the gearbox but it is a little stiff but it does turn by hand, turning the drum. I checked the gearbox by pulling it out & it spins freely. My question is: Do you think it is the kick-start capacitor or the motor itself. This could be the difference in repairing or junking it. It's a very nice washer but not worth over $200 for a new motor & have it be something binding up in the transmission gear box to drum drive portion. What is the part number for the cap? Thanks for your reply. RF
1 Answer Roberto, The part number for the capacitor is WP8572720.I would make sure that nothing is binding up the drain pump. You can simply remove the drain pump and leave hoses attached and run a spin cycle. If same problem persists then there could be an issue with your motor. Read More...
Matt February 29, 2020 Washer starts good and fills up. Washes but when time to discharge water for rinse cycle. No water comes out. No noise its like it shuts itself off but wont come back on til u move it little passed rinse?
1 Answer Matt, We will need your model number to help you find the right parts for your unit. Please post another question with all your info included thank you. Read More...
Jeffrey March 05, 2019 for Model Number 11022722100 aloha, what is the connector hanging off the windings for?I plan to change the motor in my washer .I have the new motor but don,t what the connector is for .Testing? Thanks from the rainforest,Jeff
1 Answer Jeffrey, aloha, the connection you see on the motor is there to allow the motor to run at different speeds. There should be a similar connection at the old motor you are replacing. It is not a test lead. Read More...
Waldy January 01, 2019 for Model Number 110.4786291 Washing machine is a 3 speed (1750/1150/850 rpm motor) and, during the extra slow wash cycle it will stop mid cycle with a hot electrical smell present. It's definitely the motor that is heating up and tripping the built in thermal. This appears to only show up on the extra slow cycle. Once the unit cools, it can be 'restarted'. I put a clear plastic cover over the start switch (in place of the red fiber board cover) to watch it run and the start contacts open as intended when the motor spins. At the extra slow speed (the 850 rpm), the motor makes quite a grinding/growling noise (like a pump cavitating). The noise is the same with the pump removed. The motor runs quiet at the two faster speeds - no grinding or growling noise during the wash cycle. It purrs along during the spin cycle - not issues there. I removed the motor and the rotor spins freely - perhaps a little stiff - as you cannot turn the rotor easily with your finger tips. You need a plier to grip the shaft. There's not apparent bearing issues as none can be felt when you spin the rotor by hand. The coupling is in great shape and the gearbox can easily be spun by hand through the coupling hub to spin the drum. The clutch is almost brand new. I'm scratching my head trying to figure out what is causing the motor to overheat, especially during the slowest speed wash cycles when it is pretty noisy. Any ideas?
1 Answer Waldy, For this issue the most likely cause would be a weak winding on the drive motor which would cause this issue. Read More...
Brad June 30, 2018 for Model Number kenmore 110.26902691 When the machine is in agitate phase of cycle, the motor has a load tick approximately once a second (with the case off, it appears as though the motor is stopping and then restarting at this once per second frequency). Does this mean that the motor is bad? Also, are there some diagnostics for this motor (WP3352287)? Thanks.
1 Answer Brad, I have seen this situation before, the problem is in the speed selection switch, part number is [WP3406241], the switch is defective and trying to run the motor at 2 different speeds and so the motor is not running correctly. thanks for the question. Read More...
Steve November 10, 2017 for Model Number 20922990 After replacing the direct drive coupler, as I have many times, I ran a load of laundry. When the wash/agitate cycle reached there was nothing but a strong smell of burned out motor. Removed the cabinet again, perhaps 40 mins later and discovered one of the capacitor leads was not connected and the motor body was still somewhat warm. Reinstated everything and the washer is working again. What produced the burning smell and what is it a sign of? If the capacitor was disconnected, why did the motor get warm/hot?
1 Answer Steve, This capacitor is a start capacitor for the motor and the motor was trying to start when the capacitor was not attached which would have caused the windings to emit a burning odor. Read More...
Matt February 22, 2017 for Model Number LST9355DZ0 Bad smell (electric) coming from washer. Without clothes in it the spin cycle spins like regular. Opened it up and all I can find is that the motor shaft has a lot of play in it, you can shift it a good 3/8 inch along its axis, but there is no play from side to side (perpendicular to the shaft's axis). Is this normal? It seems like the motor is put together with epoxy... can the bearings be replaced?
1 Answer Matt, This issue would most likely be caused by a faulty gearcase with the shaft having so much play to it. The part number for the gearcase is 3360629. Read More...
Robert May 04, 2016 for Model Number 11020702990 Washer started up with the dreaded hum last week. Traced problem to frozen bearings in the motor. Installed new motor, restarted machine... new motor promptly blew out the start capacitor. What secondary conditions are existing to cause this? Weak old capacitor? Something a frozen motor could have cooked that I'm missing? Looking for suggestions so I don't blow out another capacitor.
1 Answer Robert, This would most likely just be a weak capacitor that caused it to fail. Read More...
