Single-speed PSC motor that restores rotational drive to the appliance. Replaces a worn or failing motor to stop humming, no-spin or intermittent operation and helps return steady rotation when the rest of the drive system is serviceable. What it does:
- Converts electrical power into mechanical rotation to drive the appliance's rotating components.
- Common signs a motor needs replacement: humming, no rotation, slow or intermittent rotation, or unusual motor smells.
- Replaces a failed motor to restore normal, consistent rotation when the motor is the root cause.
- Designed for direct replacement where the same mounting and wiring are used.
What's included: One 1-speed PSC motor. Install notes:
- Always disconnect power to the appliance before beginning service.
- Follow the appliance service manual and wiring diagrams; label or photograph connections before removal.
- Support drum/assembly as required when removing or installing the motor; avoid strain on wiring.
