W11314361 Whirlpool Washer Motor Rotor – Fix Drum Not Spinning, F7E1 Error, or Loud Grinding Noise
OEM Replacement | Replaces W10916241 | Fits Whirlpool & Maytag Front-Load Washers | Fast Canada-wide shipping | Guaranteed fit
The W11314361 is the OEM motor rotor for Whirlpool and Maytag front-load washers. The motor rotor is the outer rotating component of the direct-drive motor assembly — it works with the motor stator to generate the magnetic field that spins the wash drum. When the rotor fails — due to damaged magnets, a cracked rotor body, or hall sensor faults — the washer will display an F7E1 motor speed error, fail to spin or agitate, or produce a loud grinding or humming noise during the cycle.
This is the current OEM replacement for W10916241 and fits a wide range of Whirlpool, Maytag, and compatible front-load washer models. OEM replacement parts are not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Whirlpool or any OEM manufacturer.

✓ Frequently Asked Questions
Does W11314361 replace W10916241?
Yes — W11314361 is the current OEM part number and directly replaces W10916241. See the compatible models list above or contact us to confirm fit for your model.
How do I know if my motor rotor is the problem?
If your washer displays an F7E1 or F7E5 error, the drum doesn’t spin, or you hear grinding from the motor area, the rotor is a likely cause. Remove the back panel and inspect the rotor for cracked or missing magnets. Contact us for diagnosis help.
What is the left-hand thread on the rotor bolt?
The rotor centre bolt uses a left-hand thread — turn clockwise to loosen and counter-clockwise to tighten. This is the opposite of standard bolts. Do not force it the wrong direction or you will strip the threads. See our parts experts if you need guidance.
Is this a DIY repair?
Moderate difficulty. The left-hand thread bolt and strong rotor magnets are the main challenges. Estimated time: 45–75 minutes. Contact us if you need guidance.
