Product review (5 stars): Order this kit and the Motor Coupler
The brake lining was a perfect fit. The noise I heard when my Whirlpool washer failed was a loud rat-a-tat-tat noise. It sounded like the transmission had failed. I checked YouTube (very helpful, thanks) and pulled the motor and transmission as a unit. The brake assembly looked OK until I noticed that a small part of the plastic brake cam driver was broken off. I ordered this kit and noted that the motor coupler was also a high failure rate part, but not very expensive, so I ordered that as well. After installing the Brake lining kit, I popped off the motor. Even though I had felt the coupler as indicated in a few videos and it seemed OK, it was in two pieces and the key was striped out.  I'm happy I ordered both parts and suggest it is easy to change both while you are replacing either part.
