Description

This plate stator is the stationary motor plate used in compatible Whirlpool appliance motor assemblies. It supports the motor's stationary components so the motor can run smoothly and reliably. What it does:

• Secures and positions the motor's stationary winding and magnetic components
• Helps maintain correct air gap between rotor and stator for proper motor function
• Can contribute to noisy motor operation or failure-to-start when damaged
• Supports consistent motor rotation and reduces abnormal vibration

What's included: One plate stator. Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair.
• Removal typically requires disassembly of the motor housing; retain fasteners and note orientation.
• Handle carefully—edges and mounting holes can be sharp and fragile.
