Bad timing on having my washer break.. as I have to go out of town tomorrow for a few days. I had a bunch of loads to do.
Anyway, it appears the motor coupling broke. It is a Whirlpool but for the life of me I can't find a model # (Heavy Duty /Super Capacity/7 Cycle-2 Speed).
The Whirlpool website seems useless... but I did find some info on a few other sites. While this doesn't match my coupling exactly, both claim that it will replace all older models. Anybody have any experience with the newer coupling? How much do I have to take apart to put this in place?
