This is a high - quality coupling for Whirlpool washing machines. Part numbers include 285753A, 285753, WA285753A, WP003. It's equivalent to and can replace multiple other part numbers like 3364002, 3364003, etc. and Inglis 2855140. It's designed for late - model Whirlpool large automatic washing machines to connect the motor shaft to the gearbox. This part might fail if clothes get tangled around the agitator. The new 285753A version we offer has a metal insert in the plastic parts where it fits on the shafts, which makes it more durable. It's easy to install and comes with a full guarantee. With over 25 years of experience supplying appliance parts to both trade and retail, you can buy with confidence.
Using this Whirlpool motor to gearbox coupling is quite straightforward. First, make sure your washing machine is unplugged to avoid any electrical risks. Locate the old coupling between the motor shaft and the gearbox and carefully remove it. Then, take the new 285753A coupling and fit it onto the shafts, ensuring the metal insert parts are properly seated. Once it's in place, you can plug your washing machine back in and start using it. Here are some important notes. Try to prevent clothes from getting overly tangled around the agitator as this can cause stress on the coupling and lead to failure. Also, avoid overloading the washing machine. For maintenance, it's a good idea to visually inspect the coupling every few months to check for any signs of wear or damage. If you notice anything unusual, like cracks or excessive looseness, it might be time to replace it.
