Genuine Whirlpool three-piece drive motor coupling for beltless direct-drive washing machines. It provides the connection between the motor shaft and transmission; this newer version uses metal sleeves for added strength.

Is This the Right Part?

Common Symptoms

• Washer will not spin
• Washer will not agitate
• Loud noise during motor operation
• Clothes remain excessively wet after the cycle
• Visible coupling damage or rubber/plastic debris beneath the washer

Check Before Replacing

• Disconnect electrical power before inspecting the drive area.
• Confirm the washer is a beltless direct-drive design and verify the appliance model against the part listing.
• If safely accessible, inspect the coupling for broken plastic hubs, damaged metal sleeves, or worn rubber material.
• Check whether the washer can still drain; filling and draining with no agitation or spin is consistent with the symptom published for this coupling, but does not by itself prove the coupling is defective.
• Do not operate the washer with covers or guards removed; consult the model-specific service information if inspection requires substantial disassembly.

Pro Tip

Part Details

Key Features

Installation Notes

• Disconnect power before beginning any inspection or replacement.
• Use the appliance-specific service procedure because access and disassembly vary by washer model.
• Support the motor securely during removal because the motor assembly can be heavy and awkward to handle.
• Install the coupling pieces squarely on the motor and transmission shafts; do not force them on at an angle.
• After reassembly, monitor the first cycle for unusual noise or burning odor and stop operation if either occurs.
