Part W10754448 Washer Clutch / Electromagnetic Shift Assembly
Purpose
Engages motion between rotor & transmission
Details
This is a genuine OEM electromagnetic clutch (shift) assembly used in many Whirlpool top-load direct drive washing machines. It works by energizing a coil to pull the rotor into engagement with the transmission, enabling the tub to spin or agitate. Failure typically results in the washer not spinning or agitating, slipping, or producing a loud grinding noise under load. Replacing the clutch restores proper mechanical linkage between motor and transmission and prevents further damage to the drive system.
Included Items
One clutch / shift assembly; mounting hardware; new stator bolt (often included).
