Awesome Man! My wife thinks im a genius!
You make us look like heros out here! Thank you!
Thank you sooooo much. Spent $20 on the coupler & less than 1 hour installing it. The wife is happy once again.
Spot On! Your video just saved me from what I’m sure would be an expensive repair bill. It’s amazing that my Kitchen Aid washer’s interior is identical to the washer in your video. The hardest part was getting those darn clamps back on the motor. I don’t have a paypal account but if you’re ever in Kansas City, I’ll buy you several rounds of beer. Thanks!
This video is one of the best! It helped me figure out what was wrong with my washer.
Great vid. Hey thanks so much. I will buy you a beer. Video was detailed and simple to follow. You should post other repairs. They are extremely helpful. Thanks.
good job!!
Great Video, Mike! Very smooth presentation; and perhaps I missed it, but it would be nice if you began presentation with what the symptom(s) of a broken coupler is/are. Right now I have a washer that makes a death noise at the end of the spin cycle as the tub continues to spin…If you read this and have any idea’s, please pass ‘em along…
Otherwise, thanks again for the great tutorial!!
Mike, I would REALLY like to thank you! I just watched this video and was able to fix our washing machine and saved some serious money. I appreciate your work. Thank you buddy!!!
thank you, great video, easy to follow and saved me the cost of a repair man.
appliancemike you are the man!!
Thanks for the great tutorial! I have used this twice now to replace the coupler on my washer. Great video for the DIYer!
Wonderful tutorial! Greatly helped me change the coupler in my washing machine. Great work mike!
Thank you,
Dave
You are a life saver! This was a wonderful help!
Thanks for this video I was able to replace the coupler for my Kenmore washer easily. Plus clean the back and underneath of the washer after 10 years! Yes, I need to buy this guy a beer.
I found the coupling for $4.22 on google product search Just thought I would pass it on to all. It is the cheapest I could find and they have friendly people that will help you too.
Thanks for the advice – this helped hubby to fix our washing machine
Very well put video tutorial Mike .You explained each step correctly in how to change a motor coupling .This issue is very common on whilrlpool & kenmore washer machines .Usually you can identify if the coupler is the problem by just looking to see if the star like shape plastic part on the coupler is cracked The item Number for this part is #285753a .Thanks for the video
I cannot thank you enough for this tutorial! We were able to make a 10 year old, $50 washer run like new again in about an hour. The washer broke late Saturday night which caused us to panic, but we figured out what the issue was and watched your video and we’re washing clothes for the week as I type this. Five of the six plastic pegs had snapped off, and the rubber was so broken down that none of the peg holes were even remaining.
Seriously, thank you so, so much!
Thanks!! Ive been fixing domestic refrigerators for 8 years and im great at it. Now im fixing samsung and lg washers and dryers. There a pain in this ass but im getting it. I just dont like customers with there W& D in a tight spot or closet! lol!
mike you rock i fixed my washer in an hour flat!!! doing laundry now! great explanation.
I actually left the pump hoses attached and they didn’t get in the way. Less messy clean up. The hardest part of this whole thing is getting the coupler parts to line up when installing the motor.
Awesome video, Mike!
Luckily – I read the comment from mbrandon9, and I was able to catch most of the water spillage.
Working on my washer was just like everything you showed in the video, and it was a breeze.

Good Job. I personally put the rubber boot on the transmission side. Each to their own. Also- why remove the hoses from pump? Simply rotate pump toward left side. (I have a long screwdriver that I place in the hole on bottom left of frame. This keeps pump out of the way.) Removing the hoses is more effort and possibly opens the possibility of leakage greater than just leaving them alone.Be sure to turn the transmission shaft (spline as you called it) to test if the transmission is locked.
Thanks Mike for the easy to understand & follow video. The culprit of my machine was a broken plastic coupler. Thanks for the help:)
Wish I had of watched these ” how to ” videos before I ” tore up my washing machine !!!! ”
Now I know where to go to get some advice!!!!
Thanks
