This motor stator is the stationary windings for a direct-drive washer motor. Working with the rotor, it creates the magnetic field that turns the basket. Replacing a failed stator restores consistent wash and spin performance. What it does
- Provides the fixed windings for the direct-drive motor
- Works with the rotor to spin and tumble the basket
- Failure can cause no spin/tumble, intermittent movement, or loud humming
- May lead to motor/speed-related error codes and cycle shutdowns
What's included
Install notes
- Disconnect power before servicing; allow moving parts to stop
- Access is typically from the rear; remove the rotor to expose the stator
- Handle the rotor's strong magnets carefully and keep metal objects clear
- Route and seat the wiring exactly as original; tighten mounting bolts evenly
