Coupling

I first fixed the stator coil by repairing the cut coil spots at 2 location using solder and with a bit of equivalent wires to extend with heat shrink sleeving to extend over the iron core. Next, I assembled the new coupling in the new coupling assembly with a bit grease around cogs. Wached few videos to see orientation since mine was broken assembly and wasn't certain how it sits inside. Once oriented and seated right, I wiggled to sit in properly over the stator cog..I felt the stator cogs with coupling locked to the shaft. After that I secured the main nut and connected the appliance. All worked perfectly after that. Thanks for sending the ordered parts. Now the washing machine is strong and solid in its agitation.

Move the washer to the garage and laid it on its side. Remove the large nut from the center shaft using a crescent wrench. Tap the wrench with a hammer until the nut comes loose. Next you'll need a puller to remove the part that was secured by the nut. Mine would not come off by hand. Next remove the three screws securing the white plastic components to the bottom of the washer. Remove the two plastic pieces and throw them in the trash because I'm sure they're garbage. Reverse the process for installation and reinstall the washer. Put some clothes in for the test wash and the washer should be silent. Two different appliance repair folks gave me estimates that were higher than the cost of replacement. I got out from under this fix for around a hundred bucks. It was worth every minute of my time. Good luck.
