Washer Won't Spin or Agitate? Drive Motor W11026785 – Fix No-Spin Fast

A washer that hums, won't agitate, or won't spin at all is almost always a failed drive motor. In Whirlpool-platform top-load washers, the drive motor is the primary power unit for both the agitation and spin cycles — when it fails, the drum sits still, the washer hums without moving, or the unit trips the breaker mid-cycle. ⚡ High-failure component in Whirlpool, Maytag, and Amana top-load washers after 8–12 years of service. Part W11026785 is the genuine OEM 120V, 1/3 HP replacement motor that restores full agitation and spin performance and directly supersedes W10677723 — no modification required.

⚙️ Installation Notes

Skill Level: MODERATE — Allow 60–90 minutes. Unplug the washer before beginning any work. Lay the washer on its side or back to access the motor mounted beneath the tub — remove the pump, loosen the motor mounting clips, and disconnect the wiring harness before sliding the old motor free. Install the new W11026785 in reverse order, ensuring the motor shaft engages the drive coupler fully before securing the mounting clips. Restore power and run a test spin cycle to confirm normal operation.
