Whirlpool W11354542 Stator for Washer

The Whirlpool W11354542 Washer Stator is a critical component of the washing machine's motor system. It serves as the stationary part that collaborates with the rotating rotor to create the force needed for the drum to spin. The stator is made up of metal laminations and wire windings that generate a magnetic field when electrical current passes through them. This magnetic field interacts with the rotor's magnets, leading to its rotation. The rotation generated by the rotor is then transmitted to the drum, facilitating the agitation of clothes during the wash cycle. A functioning stator is necessary for effective washing, while a defective stator may result in issues such as the washer not spinning or producing grinding noises.
