Washer Won’t Spin or Grinding During Agitation? W10528947 Drive Hub Kit – Fix No-Spin Fast

If your Whirlpool or Maytag top-load washer runs but the basket won’t spin — or you hear grinding and clunking during agitation — a stripped drive hub is the most common cause. In Whirlpool-platform top-load washers, the drive hub connects the motor shaft to the wash basket. When it strips, the motor runs freely but the basket doesn’t engage, leaving clothes soaking wet at the end of the cycle. ⚡ One of the highest-failure mechanical components in Whirlpool-built top-load washers. Part W10528947 is the genuine OEM replacement kit that restores full basket engagement and spin performance — a premium XPart option (LP8947) is also available.

❓ Is This the Right Part?

This is the correct fix if ALL of the following are true:

• ✔ Washer powers on and fills with water normally
• ✔ Motor runs and you can hear it during the spin cycle
• ✔ Drain pump works — water exits the tub correctly
• ✔ Lid switch is functional — washer doesn’t stop when lid opens
• ✔ ONLY problem is basket not spinning, grinding noise, or clothes coming out soaking wet

🔧 Common Symptoms

• Washer won’t spin — motor runs but basket stays still
• Grinding, clicking, or clunking noise during agitation or spin
• Agitator moves but basket doesn’t spin up to speed
• Clothes come out soaking wet after a full cycle
• Spin cycle starts then stops or fails to reach full speed
• Visible wear, stripping, or cracking on the drive hub splines

✔ If these symptoms match, the drive hub is the most likely failed component in the drive system.

✔ In most cases, replacing the W10528947 kit restores full spin and agitation immediately.

⚙️ Installation

Skill Level: MODERATE — 30–60 minutes. Disconnect power before beginning. Remove the agitator cap and bolt, lift out the agitator, then use a spanner wrench to unscrew the spanner nut and lift the wash basket out of the tub. Slide off the old drive hub and retaining clip, install the new hub and clip from the kit, then reassemble in reverse order. Run a spin-only cycle to confirm full basket engagement before closing up. A spanner nut wrench is required — available at most hardware stores.
