WP22004376 Whirlpool Washing Machine Motor Pivot Spring

Washing Machine Motor Pivot Spring.

The Motor Pivot Spring is a genuine OEM replacement part designed for Whirlpool top-loading washing machines. It ensures that the agitator assembly maintains the correct tension throughout the washing cycles.

This part plays a crucial role in the washing process by supporting the agitator's rotation, which effectively moves clothes through the water, aiding in thorough cleaning by lifting and tumbling the garments.

A motor spring may deteriorate due to regular wear or unexpected impacts, leading to reduced elasticity. Over time, this can result in a less effective agitator.

Signs of a failing motor spring include:

- Poor cleaning performance, with clothes not moving sufficiently in the drum
- Unusual noise or vibrations indicating an imbalance in the agitator
- The agitator may stall or not complete its rotation

Whirlpool manufactures this replacement part, which is also suitable for use in certain models from brands like Kenmore, Admiral, Estate, and Roper. Whirlpool's brand portfolio includes Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, and others, and they also supply products for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea.
