The Clutch Assembly is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool washing machines. It is a component that is responsible for transferring power from the motor to the transmission, allowing the washer tub to spin during the wash and spin cycles.

Symptoms of a bad Clutch Assembly include:

• The washer tub not spinning or agitating during the wash or spin cycles
• Loud grinding or screeching noises coming from the washer
• Excessive vibrations or shaking during the spin cycle
• The washer failing to start or complete the wash or spin cycles properly

Causes of needing to replace the clutch assembly can include normal wear and tear over time, bearing failure, or physical damage due to impact or overloading.

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore washer models.

The Direct Drive Washer Motor Coupling is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool washers. It is responsible for connecting the motor to the transmission, allowing the washer to agitate and spin the clothes during the wash and spin cycles.

A bad motor coupling can be caused by prolonged use, heavy loads, or overloading the washer. It can also wear out or break over time due to normal usage.

Symptoms of a bad motor coupling include:

• The washer not agitating or spinning.
• Unusual noises, such as grinding or rattling, during operation.
• The motor running but the drum not moving.

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

The Clutch Band and Lining Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. It contains the clutch band and clutch lining components essential for proper transmission of power from the washer motor to its drum during the spin cycle. The clutch band and lining allow for a controlled amount of slippage to safely extract water from clothes without damage. 

Symptoms of a bad clutch band and lining include: 

• Excessive noise or vibration during spin
• Slow or ineffective spinning 
• The drum failing to spin or “locking up”
• Premature wear of other transmission parts

Over time and with heavy use, these components can wear down. If slipping or damage is detected, it’s important to replace the kit to avoid potential transmission repairs.

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.
