Part Reference
285753A is a genuine Whirlpool-family direct-drive washer motor coupling. It provides a cushioned connection between the motor shaft and transmission and is a common exact-part search when an older direct-drive washer fills and drains but will not agitate or spin normally.
What Does 285753A Do?
The coupling transfers motor power to the direct-drive transmission while providing a sacrificial connection in the drive system. PartSelect’s current OEM listing describes an updated version with metal sleeves added for strength and durability.
