How we confirm it first

What the repair involves
Coupler, belt or agitator cogs replaced as needed.
Why it fails
Couplers are designed to break before the motor does, usually when the washer is overloaded or the drum is jammed.
How to make it last
Stay within the washer's load capacity and don't wash rugs or heavy items it isn't rated for.
