Description
Restore the spin and braking function of your Whirlpool direct-drive washer with the genuine OEM **285790 Clutch Band and Lining Kit**. This kit, compatible with Whirlpool, Kenmore, and Maytag top-load models, contains the necessary components—the brake band, springs, and cam driver—to ensure a smooth transition between the agitation and spin cycles, and properly brake the tub at the end of the cycle.
Features & Benefits
- Genuine OEM Factory Certified Part ensures optimal engagement and smooth operation during spin.
- Kit includes the clutch band with lining, brake cam driver, and springs for a complete brake system refresh.
- Corrects issues where the tub spins slowly, doesn't spin at all, or is excessively noisy during the spin cycle.
- Improves overall clutch performance and helps prevent wear on the transmission components.
Common Symptoms That Indicate Replacement
- Washer spins slowly, leaving clothes soaking wet after the spin cycle.
- Loud squealing, grinding, or a burning rubber smell during the spin cycle.
- Washer pumps water out but will not spin the tub (often indicating a clutch or brake failure).
- The tub fails to stop quickly when the lid is lifted during the spin cycle.

Compatibility Note
Note: This kit is intended to replace the brake band and lining components only. The clutch drum itself (part number 285785 on many models) is sold separately but is often recommended for replacement when performing this repair. Installation requires disassembly of the washer cabinet and removal of the drive motor and transmission.
