I received the new coupler from appliancepartspros.com today. The problem is that the plastic/metal parts only slide halfway onto the drive shafts (motor and transmission). The original part slides all the way onto the shafts. Coupler Part #: AP3963893 Manufacturer's #: 285753 made by WHIRLPOOL From APP.com site: "Motor coupling (for Direct Drive Washers) - New design! Re-enforced with metal sleeves. The coupler is located between motor and transmission. Replaces all previous versions. Fits ALL Whirlpool, Kenmore, Roper and KitchenAid direct drive washers (no belt)." Here's the page I'm looking at: Part Details - WHIRLPOOL Motor coupling (for Direct Drive Washers), part number: AP3963893 Help! I need to get this machine back in order ASAP. Thanks.
