Whirlpool Washer GHW9400PL3 Will not agitate or doesn't agitate

The Drive Belt is an OEM part for Whirlpool front load washing machines. It transmits power from the wash motor to rotate the tub assembly, tumbling clothes during cycles. The belt is designed with deep grooves to securely grip the motor and tub pulleys. It measures 48.22” long uninstalled and will stretch to 51.53” when installed.

Causes of a bad Drive Belt can include cracks developing from repeated flexing during operation or stretching over many years. Debris trapped in the belt path can also wear down the belt prematurely.

Symptoms of a bad belt include:

• The washing tub failing to spin or agitate clothes
• Abnormally loud squealing noises from inside the machine
• The belt slipping off pulleys during cycles

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, and select Kenmore front load washers.

The Drive Pulley is an OEM replacement part specific to Whirlpool washing machines. It is a toothed wheel component located inside the washer cabinet that functions with the belt to rotate the wash drum. The drive pulley provides the rotational force needed to agitate clothes and turbulent water during cycle operation.

Causes of a faulty drive pulley include normal wear of the plastic material from extended years of operation.

Symptoms include:

• Abnormal noises (squealing or screeching sounds) emanating from within the washer cabinet
• Slow or weak drum motion, even on high agitation settings
• Premature belt wear due to slipping of the drive pulley teeth
• Visible cracks or splitting in the pulley surface

This genuine OEM part is also compatible with select Maytag, KitchenAid, and other washer brands.

Note: This part is 1 baffle. For a kit of 3 baffles, order part# 285976. For baffle screw, order part# WPY706189.

The Front Load Washer Drum Baffle is an OEM part for Whirlpool front-loading washing machines. This component plays a crucial role in directing water flow and distributing it evenly throughout the wash drum during the washing cycle.

Over time, the drum baffle can become worn or damaged due to the constant exposure to water, detergents, and the repeated impact of clothes during the wash cycles. This can lead to inefficient water distribution, reduced cleaning performance, and increased noise levels.

Symptoms of a bad drum baffle include:

• Uneven or incomplete cleaning of clothes
• Tangling or balling up of clothes during the wash cycle
• Excessive vibrations or loud noises during the wash cycle
• Water leaks or improper drainage

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