"This Top Load Washer Drive Motor includes the motor and the wiring harness adapter. The drive motor has two shafts - one shaft drives the pump, and the other shaft drives the transmission. The motor causes your washer to spin, agitate, and drain properly during the washing cycle. If your washer no longer spins or agitates, the motor may be worn out or damaged and should be replacedreplacing it may alleviate these issues. This motor is a single speed motor (120 volt). When accessing the old motor, be sure to remove the ground wire and the base from it so you can transfer these to the new motor before installing. Replacing this part will require basic hand tools, some disassembly of the appliance and novice repair experience. You must unplug the washing machine or shut off the house circuit breaker for the appliance before installing this part. Also make sure you turn off the hot and cold water supplies. Helpful Tip: We also recommend using Affresh® Washing Machine Cleaner Tablets* (item W10135699) once a month to help reduce odor-causing residue that can build up in your washing machine's drain without proper care. *Affresh® brand products are owned and distributed by Whirlpool Corporation."
