Whirlpool 285852A Genuine OEM Top Load Washer Motor Coupler

The Top Load Washer Motor Coupler drives the agitator in the tub. This heavy-duty direct-drive washer motor coupling is located between the motor and transmission. If your appliance isn't agitating as expected, replacing this part may alleviate the issue. This easy-to-install replacement part has three coupler pieces: the ones that go onto the motor and the transmission, and the black part that goes in between them. Replacing this part will require basic hand tools such as a multi-screwdriver, putty knife, and pliers, as well as some disassembly of the appliance and novice repair experience. Before installing this high-quality replacement part, remember to unplug the washer or shut off the house circuit breaker to ensure safety. Also, make sure to 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.
