Ensuring your washer‍ motor operates at peak performance begins with careful installation. Always start by disconnecting the ⁢appliance from power to avoid electrical hazards. When fitting the OEM Genuine 137043000 Frigidaire Washer Motor, align the⁣ motor shaft precisely​ with the coupling to prevent undue strain that could damage internal components. ⁣Incorporating rubber grommets or vibration dampeners during installation can greatly ⁤reduce noise and mechanical wear over time. Additionally, verify that all mounting ​bolts⁤ are tightened securely but avoid over-torquing to ‌maintain proper motor balance.
