This component is a common solution for washers that fail to agitate, spin, or complete cycles due to a malfunctioning motor.

Function & Importance of the Drive Motor

The drive motor is the heart of your top-load washer’s mechanical operation. It powers the agitator and drum rotation, controlling the washing and spinning cycles:

• Drives proper agitation and tumbling of clothes for efficient cleaning

• Powers the spin cycle, enabling water extraction

• Ensures cycle timing and performance according to manufacturer specifications

Using a genuine OEM motor like 12002351 guarantees the correct speed, torque, and connection points, which are essential for safety, reliability, and longevity. A non-OEM or incompatible motor may lead to vibration issues, incomplete cycles, or early wear.

Common Symptoms of a Faulty Drive Motor

Signs that your top-load washer may need a replacement drive motor include:

• Washer won’t agitate or spin during cycles

• Intermittent movement of the tub or agitator

• Washer stalls mid-cycle or displays error codes related to motor failure

• Burning smell or unusual noise from the bottom of the machine

• Washer cycles run slower or fail to complete

Will replacing this part fix your issue?
If your washer shows any of the above symptoms, replacing the drive motor often restores normal operation and resolves agitation or spin failures.
