Whirlpool Toploader clutch assembly/coupling

[Simon46]

Got to do two Jobs on a 3LSC8255EQJ. The first is a broken motor drive coupling. Is it just a case of unbolting the motor to fit it?
The second is the clutch assembly mounted under the detergent dispenser. it looks like there should be teeth on the 4 arms 481969018131 which run in the gear ring. are these common to wear out. or would it be something else? the top of the dispenser spins round by hand and doesnt seem to engage all the time. Is this common?

😕

Just uncliping the motor is enough to replace the drive coupling, part number 481932528035.

I’ve had a few of the “spinning dispenser” problems and normally replacing 481946698891 does the trick.

Replaced 481969018131 X4 and it locks o.k. now (stripped teeth).
