How do I replace the cupling between the motor and pump

May have a vacuum leak or. Fuel issue. Check fuel pressure it may be low. Means pump is bad and change fuel filter at same time if it's clogged replace

Sounds like a cylinder head gasket leaking combustion gases into the cooling system causing this problem.

Hi you have one or all of the 3 problems a bad basket drive, or a bad clutch. The best cure is to replace both if you are going to dig in that deep. Not a repair for and amateur but will help you if you want to try.

Check the pump. Might be something in it. Sand causes em to get hard to turn. Will it spin ok with the pump? Is the coupling on too tight? A binding coupling will ruin your day.

If this is a top loader there is a cupling that is made of rubber and a set of plastic parts that are between the motor and the transmission drive. The plastic has fingers that go into the rubber piece and the fingers shear off , the other end of the motor has the water pump on it so it will pump water out but do nothing else. you have to pull the motor out and replace the set and reasemble.

I had this same problem once and it was pretty simple, I removed the agitator asembly, not 100% sure on your model. and there is a cupling between the moror and the agitotor. the guy at the appliance store saidit was a sacraficial part that brakes when a large load is put on the motor to protect it. usually like a 13.00 piece

you have to access the coupling by removing the housing of the machine,

you can tilt it a little bit to the back so that the motor is in your front.
remove the water pump clamps so that you can remove the pump.

unscrew the screws holding the clamps of the motor.( hold the motor tight, it is heavy)
remove the clamps, the motor will fell..

remove the motor and you can see that the coupling is attached to its shaft.

one coupling goes to the shaft of the motor, the other coupling goes to gear box shafting, and the rubber ring is in between the two coupling.

normally, only one coupling is damaged and you can just replace that coupling. you have the other two parts as spare.

i hope this would solve your problem.

tnx 4using fixya,

You must have a whirlpool or kenmore washer.. the hardest part is to get the machine open. let me know what model you have and I can help you...also check to make sure the transmission is not locked up.
