User reviews
I used this part to replace a broken coupling on a Kenmore 110.24632300 washer. I can't say that I know that this part is of good quality, but it appears to be less likely to break than the original plastic version due to the metal insert. My replacement part has only been in service for a few weeks now. Note that the coupling doesn't install without some force because the metal inserts are undersized a bit relative to the motor shaft and transmission shaft to which the two halves of the coupling attach. I used a socket and hammer to force the coupling onto the shafts. (Use a backup board at the other end of the motor shaft to avoid damage to the motor bearings.) If the coupling halves have been pushed onto the shafts far enough, the spring clips that hold the motor in place should snap into place without much trouble. Otherwise, they can be difficult to install. Don't force the clips into place instead of readjusting the couplings because this generates force on the motor's internal moving parts (bearings presumably), which generates extra friction and thus heat. (This caused a burning smell in my case, which was eliminated after pushing the coupling halves further onto the shafts.)
Shipping time was a few days, easy to replace and a good value. I was so happy I could still use my washer and didn’t need to buy new!
Excellent Whirlpool OEM part fit and function. Some aftermarket parts are good quality and some are not. OEM parts ensure a quality repair every time without guessing. Buying quality US-made products matter! My classic 1997 direct-drive washer is running smoothly again.
