Heavy Duty 285753A Metal Core Motor Coupling Kit part replacement for Whirlpool Kenmore Washer 285753AVP, PS1485646, AP3963893, 1195967, 21003,285743, 285140, 280152

I followed a YouTube video on how to install this part. I didn’t take the washer apart until I received this replacement coupler. I took the chance because all the articles I googled indicated that this would be the problem. You can see from the picture that the old one fell apart as soon as I removed the motor. After about an hour to an hour and a half which includes pausing the YouTube video, I have the new part installed and as you can see from the video it is working wonderfully. So $7.99 save me from paying someone over $200 or having to purchase a new washer. Great part so far I have done about six loads of laundry with zero issues. Buy with confidence and have a few simple hand tools ready and you too can save a boatload of money and continue to use the tried and true washer that you’re comfortable with. Great job guys with a fair price on a great part!

Worked great.

Perfect fit. Great price. Quick ship. I couldn't ask for more. I'd do business with this seller again.

This product worked as expected. I bought a second one to keep as spare. I would recommend this vendor. If this is your first time doing this, I would provide the following advice: 1) GREASY MESS: As the rubber isolator wears out, it will normally release bits and pieces of rubber. This rubber debris is oily and sticky, so it will stick to its surrounding area in the transmission, to the floor underneath as it normally collects there and to the motor. As you remove the motor, if you are not careful, this mess will also transfer to you, to your clothing, to your hands, to the floor, to the walls, etc. So plan accordingly. Wear gloves. 2) HEAVY MOTOR: The motor weights 20 Lbs. I recommend you improvise something that is around 2-1/2" tall, that you can rest the motor on and then slide the motor into place instead of having to hold the thing trying to align it in a very awkward position - or, if you are older like me, pay the price later with back pain that won't go away!

Fit like a Glove, don't be hesitant on Purchasing this, the only thing i would do different is to Buy 2 and have 1 for a spare.

The original motor coupling on my vintage 1990 Kenmore Series 80 washer finally broke (noises made but tub wouldn't spin). Following youtube directions, was able to uninstall old part in about 20 minutes. Picked this brand since it had the lowest number of 1&2 * ratings, and the OEM FSP coupling cost $30. Installation wasn't easy. I was able to hammer the tub-end side on, but not the motor end. I went next door and borrowed some metal files (one rough, one finer) and spent a few minutes filing the interior metal grommet down. It didn't take long, nor did much metal come out. The resulting fit was snug like the original (one side hadn't broken. the 1990 version didn't have a plastic grommet, btw). Putting things together took twice as many people and 3 times as long (including but not limited to 2 "is it plugged in?" since there are 2 interior connections that have to plugged in :), but was still a fairly straight-forward task. I'm neither handy nor strong, so this is something just about anyone with a peaceful mind and a strong helper (for putting stuff back together) could do. I took a star off since not everyone has a retired mechanic willing to loan their tools out.

Well built, shipped really fast!

This is the third time I’ve been here

A perfect part to a 22 year old Kenmore washer Model 110 . It took 20 minutes with the flipping machine on its side to remove and replace this coupler . Great product at an amazing price , fit like a glove ..... it just needed a little tap with a socket and hammer over to just touch the metal sleeve but also clear the motor shaft . Before ordering flip machine on its back and see if your machine takes a coupling or if its a belt drive . This particular model was a Coupler system like the last 2 pics . Thank you Discount Parts Direct .

This product is totally worth it. Easy fix, Easy install! I installed it almost all the way.. I just left ⅛ or 1/16 of an inch for some little slack, so that it doesn't destroy the rubber from all the movements, so it can move freely and not deteriorate over time. It's been 4 months now, and it still runs like a brand new washing machine!

This was a replacement fitting for an older washing machine. Arrived on time and as promised. Worked perfectly. Nice to find a source for parts for older appliances which seem to be built so much better than the newer versions. Too often we accept the "its not worth fixing" response when we look to repair shops for a solution on older units. In this case we spent well under a $75 So saved a tidy sum by fixing it ourselves (You Tube assisted and it wasn't that hard) rather than replacing and in these tight economic times that was a bonus.

Worked perfect got fast and cheap and feels much higher quality then original

Washer wouldn’t spin or agitate. My old coupler was absolutely destroyed. Pieces of plastic and rubber everywhere. This replacement part was easy to put in and washer works fine. I was ready to buy a new washer but this little part saved me $700. 👍
