Basket Drive Block for Top-Load Washers

This aftermarket basket drive block replaces worn or stripped drive blocks in compatible Admiral, Amana and Crosley top-load washing machines. It transmits motor torque to the inner basket during spin cycles. The part supersedes earlier numbers LP9140, LB342 and LP342.

Replaces Original Drive Blocks on Listed Models

The block fits nine Admiral models including ATW4675YQ1 and 3UATW4605TQ0, eleven Amana models such as NTW4500XQ0 and NTW5100TQ1, and thirty-seven Crosley models including CAWS833RQ1 and CAW9244XQ1. Upgrade when the original block shows spline wear, basket wobble or spin-cycle noise.

Limits of the Spline-Drive Interface

The block engages the transmission shaft splines directly; it cannot compensate for a damaged shaft or worn basket hub. Proper seating requires the matching seal and bearing kit referenced as 285203. The part is not compatible with front-load or direct-drive washer designs.

Questions about this item

Which Admiral washer models does the WP389140 basket drive block fit?

It fits nine Admiral models including ATW4675YQ1, ATW4471TQ0, ATW4475VQ0, ATW4475XQ0, ATW4475TQ0, 3UATW4605TQ0, 3RATW3005TQ1, 3RATW3005TQ0 and ATW4475VQ1.

How is the basket drive block installed and what step is commonly missed?

Remove the agitator, spanner nut and drive bell to access the old block; the step often missed is replacing the 285203 seal and bearing kit at the same time to prevent leaks.

When will the basket drive block need replacement again?

Replace it if the inner tub wobbles, makes grinding noises during spin or shows stripped splines; also inspect the 285203 seal and bearing kit whenever the block is removed.
