The Whirlpool WP8299642 is an equivalent clutch for your washing machine. Located between the washer's spin basket and the motor, a clutch is a crucial part. It regulates the flow of power between these parts throughout different wash cycles, much like an on-off switch. The clutch releases the spin basket while the washer is in the agitation cycle, letting your garments tumble freely for the best possible washing. On the other hand, the clutch engages and locks the spin basket to the motor during the spin cycle. This makes it possible for the basket to spin quickly, effectively removing surplus water from your laundry. There are various signs of a worn-out clutch, such as the washer not agitating properly, spinning slowly, or making bizarre noises.
