Description

The Whirlpool WP389140 Washer Drive Block is a vital component that powers your top-load washing machine's spin cycle. During the spin cycle, it effectively extracts water from your laundry by converting the motor's rotation into a strong spin. This saves drying time and energy by enabling your garments to come out wet but without dripping.A worn-out drive block can cause a number of issues, such as loud operation, excessive shaking while spinning, or even the inability to spin at all. Your washer's spin capability can be restored by replacing a malfunctioning drive block with the WP389140. This ensures that your clothes are correctly prepared for drying and can ultimately save you time and money.
