Description

This drive coupler connects the washer motor to the transmission so the agitator or drum turns smoothly. It's a direct-replacement part that restores drive engagement when the original coupler is worn or damaged. What it does

• Transfers motor rotation to the transmission/agitator so the tub agitates or spins.
• Commonly replaced when the washer won't agitate, spin, or makes grinding or clunking noises.
• Resists normal wear from torque and repeated use; failure causes slipping or loss of drive.
• Helps prevent further damage to the motor or transmission when replaced at first signs of wear.

What's included

• One drive coupler

Install notes

• Disconnect power and water supply before beginning any repairs.
• Access typically requires removing the cabinet or front panel; follow the manufacturer service manual.
• Inspect motor shaft and transmission input for damage when replacing the coupler.
• If transmission or motor splines are damaged, replace the damaged assembly rather than relying on a new coupler.
