Midea Washer Retractor Motor 17438000000343, Replaces 302421670075

Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Washer does not complete a normal spin.
• Clothes may remain wetter than expected after a cycle.
• Abnormal operation during a Rinse & Spin test can indicate a drive-system issue, but does not by itself identify the retractor motor as the cause.

Check Before Replacing

• Confirm the washer model uses part 17438000000343 in its model-specific parts documentation before ordering or disassembly.
• With power disconnected, visually inspect the retractor motor wiring connector and harness for a loose connection, damage, or corrosion; do not perform live-contact testing.
• Run the washer’s model-appropriate Rinse & Spin test and observe externally whether it drains, spins, rocks, or vibrates excessively.
• If drive-area service is required, inspect the related clutch, motor, belt, pump, and retractor as a system rather than assuming the retractor alone has failed.

Pro Tip

Part Details

Installation Notes

• Disconnect power before service. Midea warns that the retractor, motor, electric valve, and drain pump may present an electric-shock risk if contacted while energized.
• This is an under-tub drive-area component. In the applicable Midea service manual, access to the retractor follows removal of drive-area components and positioning the washer upside down; use the model-specific service documentation.
• Keep the retractor distinct from the clutch body subassembly and reconnect the wiring harness exactly as found.
• After service, run an appropriate test cycle and check for normal draining, spinning, excessive rocking, and vibration.
