The newer version of the coupler kit is made with new metal sleeves for added strength. This part is located between the motor and transmission on the direct drive washer that does not have a belt. The coupler will break to protect the motor from damage if the drive motor system seizes up. If your washer will not fill, will not agitate or spin, but it will drain the water from the tub, you may need to replace this part because it has failed. This is a genuine OEM part. Disconnect the power to your washer before starting the repair.
