Pro Tip

Part Details

Installation Notes

• Unplug the washer
• from the electrical outlet to ensure complete power disconnection.
• Close the water supply valves
• at the wall to prevent water discharge during disassembly.
• Empty the washer
• of any clothes or items inside.
• Remove the top panel
• of the washer by unscrewing the fasteners along the back edge and lifting the panel away.
• Remove the agitator
• by locating the set screw or bolt at the top center of the agitator, removing it with the appropriate wrench or screwdriver, then pulling the agitator straight up and out of the washer.
• Remove the drum or basket
• by locating and removing the fasteners that secure it to the transmission shaft (typically a large bolt or nut at the center bottom of the drum). Use a socket wrench to remove this fastener.
• Take multiple photos
• of the transmission and clutch assembly before disassembly. Document the clutch location, mounting orientation, and any visible components.
• Remove the transmission or access the clutch assembly.
• For some models, you must remove the entire transmission assembly. For others, the clutch can be accessed from inside the tub. Consult the service manual for your specific model.
• Remove the mounting bolts
• that secure the transmission to the washer cabinet (typically 3-4 bolts). Support the transmission with your hand or a jack to prevent it from falling.
• Carefully lower the transmission
• out of the washer cabinet, being careful not to damage hoses or wiring.
• Place the transmission on a clean work surface
• with adequate space for disassembly.
• Locate the clutch assembly
• on the transmission. It's typically mounted on the input shaft or output shaft of the transmission.
• Remove the clutch hub bolt
• or fastener that secures the clutch assembly to the transmission shaft. This is typically a large bolt that may require significant torque to remove.
• Support the clutch assembly
• as you remove the bolt to prevent it from falling.
• Carefully slide the old clutch assembly
• off the transmission shaft. Note the orientation and any spacers or shims that were present.
• Inspect the old clutch
• for visible damage such as worn friction material, cracked pressure plate, broken springs, or damaged hub. This confirms the diagnosis.
• Inspect the transmission shaft
• for damage, corrosion, or wear. If the shaft is damaged, it may need replacement or repair.
• Clean the transmission shaft thoroughly
• with a clean cloth to remove any debris, corrosion, or old clutch material.
• Verify the shaft is smooth and undamaged.
• Run your finger along the shaft—it should be smooth with no rough spots or corrosion.
• Unpack the new W10721967 clutch assembly
• from its packaging. Handle carefully to avoid damaging the friction material or springs.
• Compare the new clutch to the old one
• to verify the hub diameter, friction material thickness, spring configuration, and overall appearance match. Ensure you have the correct replacement part.
• Position the new clutch assembly
• on the transmission shaft, aligning it with the shaft key or spline (if present).
• Slide the clutch assembly
• onto the shaft, ensuring it seats fully against any shoulder or spacer on the shaft.
• Verify the clutch is positioned correctly
• and is not tilted or misaligned.
• Install the clutch hub bolt
• and tighten it firmly with the appropriate socket wrench. Consult the service manual for the correct torque specification (typically 40-80 foot-pounds).
• Verify the bolt is tight
• by attempting to turn it with the wrench—it should not move.
• Reinstall the transmission
• into the washer cabinet by carefully lifting it and aligning the mounting bolts with the cabinet holes.
• Secure the transmission
• with the mounting bolts, tightening firmly but not over-tightening.
• Verify the transmission is properly seated
• and does not wobble or shift.
• Reinstall the drum or basket
• by aligning it with the transmission shaft and securing the center bolt or nut. Tighten firmly with the appropriate socket wrench.
• Reinstall the agitator
• by aligning it with the shaft and securing the set screw or bolt. Tighten firmly.
• Reinstall the top panel
• by aligning it with the washer and securing all fasteners.
• Restore the water supply
• by opening the supply valves.
• Plug the washer back in
• and restore power.
• Run a test cycle
• (without clothes) on a full wash cycle to verify proper clutch operation.
• Verify the washer fills with water
• during the test cycle. Water should flow into the tub within 10-15 seconds.
• Verify the agitator moves
• during the wash phase. The agitator should move back and forth smoothly.
• Verify the washer drains
• at the end of the wash cycle. Water should drain within 1-2 minutes.
• Verify the drum spins
• during the spin cycle. The drum should rotate at high speed without unusual vibrations or noises.
• Listen for grinding or squealing noises
• during the spin cycle. The spin should be quiet and smooth.
• Verify the spin cycle extracts water
• from the tub. The tub should be relatively dry after spinning.
• If the drum does not spin
• , verify the clutch is engaging properly. The clutch may not be seated correctly or the engagement mechanism may be faulty.
• If the drum spins slowly
• , the clutch may be slipping. Verify the clutch hub bolt is tight and the friction material is not worn.
• If grinding or squealing noises occur
• , the clutch may be damaged or the transmission bearings may be worn. Inspect the clutch and transmission for damage.
• If the agitator does not move
• , the clutch may be stuck in the engaged position. Verify the clutch is disengaging properly during wash cycles.
• Run a full wash cycle
• with a typical load of clothes to confirm the repair is complete and the washer operates normally.
• Safety Notes:
• Always unplug the washer before working on it. Close the water supply valves to prevent accidental water discharge. The transmission is heavy—use proper lifting techniques or a jack to support it during removal and installation. Never operate the washer without the clutch assembly installed—this can damage the transmission and create safety hazards. Wear safety glasses when working on the transmission to protect against springs or components that may snap loose. Uninstall the old clutch assembly from the transmission output shaft. Install the new clutch assembly, reconnect belt, motor pulley, and test spin function.
