Product review (2 stars): NOT a Whirlpool part
THis is a replacement motor and it fits and it works. It is NOT however, a Whirlpool motor and is built on a much smaller frame than the original with fewer coil windings and an open armature as opposed to the original motor. It clearly has less torque and quality in general than the OEM ( which was Swiss Made) as opposed to this really cheaply made Chinese product. I bought this because it was $25 rather than $45(from Sears).I thought I was getting an exact OEM replacement I keep forgetting -"You get what you pay for"
