Motor Replacement Kit for 2-Speed Washers, including Jumper Wire.
Replace the motor if there is a noticeable burning odor.
Whirlpool, operating under various brand names including Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, and Roper, also supplies products to Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. This authentic OEM component is a washer motor designed to drive the washer tub’s rotation, ensuring effective cleaning. With time, motor performance may decline, identifiable by the washer not spinning or experiencing a noticeable power loss.
To replace the motor, begin by disconnecting the washer from the power source. Slide the unit away from the wall to reach the rear panel. Unscrew and remove the back panel. Identify the drive motor and loosen the mounting bolts to detach it. Remove the existing motor, disconnecting the wire harness and any separate wires. Connect the wires to the corresponding terminals on the new motor. Secure the new motor by tightening the bolts. This replacement part is available individually and directly obtained from the original manufacturer. It fits washers from Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, Sears, and Kenmore.
