The Drive Motor is an OEM part for Whirlpool washers. It drives the agitator or drum, allowing the washer to perform its function of cleaning and spinning clothes. It provides the necessary rotational force to agitate the clothes during the wash cycle and spin them dry during the spin cycle.
A faulty or worn-out drive motor can occur due to various reasons, such as electrical issues, mechanical failure, or excessive wear over time. If you notice symptoms such as the washer not agitating or spinning, a burning smell coming from the motor, or unusual noises during operation, it may be time to replace the drive motor.
Symptoms of a bad drive motor include:
- Washer not agitating or spinning
- Burning smell coming from the motor
- Unusual noises during operation
Restore the efficient performance of your Whirlpool washer by replacing the faulty or worn-out drive motor with this genuine OEM part.
This Whirlpool replacement part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
