This motor retainer secures the motor to its mounting point, keeping the assembly tight and aligned. Replace a worn or broken retainer to cut vibration and noise and to protect nearby seals, wiring, and components. What it does:
- Holds the motor firmly in place within the assembly
- Maintains alignment for smooth, quiet operation
- Supports sealing surfaces and connections; on water-bearing assemblies, help prevent leaks
- Replace if you notice a loose or rattling motor, new vibration/noise, or signs of movement or leakage at the motor
What's included:
- Includes 1 motor retainer.
Install notes:
- Disconnect power; turn off water supply.
- Access the motor area and support the motor before removing the old retainer.
- Inspect mating parts and seals; replace any damaged components.
- Fully seat the motor and install the new retainer securely; test for abnormal noise or leaks.
