Consellos de mantemento

The 285753A Motor Coupling is designed for durability, especially the newer versions with metal sleeves. However, it is considered a sacrificial part, designed to break before more expensive components like the motor or transmission are damaged. Regular maintenance involves:

• Inspección periódica: If you notice any changes in your washer's performance, such as unusual noises or reduced spin efficiency, inspect the motor coupling for signs of wear, cracks, or breakage.
• Evitar a sobrecarga: Overloading the washing machine can put excessive strain on the motor coupling, leading to premature failure. Follow your washer's capacity guidelines.
• Limpeza de restos: Keep the area around the motor and transmission free from lint, dirt, and other debris that could interfere with the coupling's operation or cause overheating.

Solución de problemas comúns

If your washing machine is experiencing problems related to the motor coupling, here are common symptoms and potential solutions:

• Washer Not Spinning or Agitating: This is the most common symptom of a broken motor coupling. The motor may run, but the tub will not move or will move very slowly. The solution is to replace the motor coupling.
• Ruídos fortes durante o funcionamento: Grinding, banging, or clunking noises, especially during the agitation or spin cycles, can indicate a damaged or failing motor coupling. Replacement is typically required.
