Whirlpool washer top load motor coupling replacement procedure Disconnect power first 5. Motor coupling. 6. Motor replacement. The motor to transmission coupling replacement is a common repair on this style washer. Start by removing the cabinet. Remove
the pump from the motor shaft, this is not needed if just replacing the
motor coupler. You may be able to shift the motor & pump off to one
side. If you are replacing the motor = the pump must come
off. It is not necessary to take the hoses loose. Tie the pump out of
the way after getting it off the motor shaft, if needed. Unplug the
motor wire harness. Picture.
Unscrew the two 5/16 sheet metal screw holding the mounting clamps to
the motor. Release the thumb clamps and take motor loose from
transmission. You have reached the point where you can replace the
three pieces of the motor coupling. Picture. Picture. Picture. Look at the old pieces to see how to assemble the new, Here is a picture pointing them out. Picture
Place either of the two new white couplings on the transmission shaft
with the teeth facing toward the motor. Use an 1/2"socket as a press,
place it over the center of the coupling and lightly tap it onto the
shaft, taking care not to damage the three little prongs. Place the
black rubber union over the prongs on the coupling you just installed.
Now, tap the other coupling onto the rear shaft of the motor, prongs
facing back toward transmission. The motor can now be re-installed,
take care to line up the three prongs with the remaining holes in the
union. This can be helped by rotating the motor shaft slightly while
holding it up to the coupling. Also, remember that the four rubber caps
on the motor mount must match up with the four indents on the frame.
Once the coupling is engaged, apply the clips & screws to the
motor. Hook up the wires, install the pump and you're finished. Hook
thumb clamps, replace the two screws. Put pump back on motor shaft and
hook thumb clamps. Replace the cabinet and check your repair.
