The Whirlpool 285785 clutch assembly transfers drive torque during the spin cycle on compatible classic direct-drive top-load washers.
A worn clutch can contribute to slow spin, poor spin performance, or a basket that fails to reach normal spin speed when diagnosis confirms the clutch is the cause.
The service kit includes the clutch assembly and related hardware/cam components used for compatible direct-drive washer configurations.
Compatibility Note: 285785 is used on select Whirlpool-built direct-drive washers. Confirm the complete washer model and drive platform before ordering because later belt-drive and gearcase designs use different components.
Important Safety Note: Disconnect washer electrical power and shut off the water supply before service. Support the washer securely if it must be tilted or laid back.
Installation Note: Follow the washer service procedure to access the transmission/clutch area, replace the specified clutch components as a set, and verify the brake/cam and drive components move freely before reassembly.
