The Stator is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool washing machines. It is the stationary part of the washer motor that induces a magnetic field, causing rotation in the rotor and driving the agitator or basket movement.
Symptoms of a bad stator include:
- The washer not agitating or spinning clothes during cycles
- Loud grinding or knocking noises from the motor area
- The washer needs to be reset frequently
- Slow or inconsistent agitation or spin speeds
Causes of a stator failing include normal wear and tear of internal electric components over many usage cycles. Replacing with this genuine Whirlpool part helps maintain dependable washing performance.
This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models. Replacing worn internal parts like the stator proactively prevents potential future washer motor issues.
