Whirlpool WP3953062 Clutch for Washer

The Whirlpool WP3953062 washer clutch is an essential component of the washing machine. It acts as a connection between the motor and the spin basket, transferring the motor's rotational power to the basket during the spin cycle. The clutch operates by using friction and engagement to facilitate spinning, which helps to extract excess water from the clothes. During the wash cycle, the clutch disengages, allowing the motor to rotate independently while spinning the basket. When the spin cycle begins, the clutch engages with the spin basket, allowing the motor's rotation to be transmitted to the basket for high-speed spinning that removes water from the laundry.
