I have a top load kenmore(whirlpool) that broke the tranny coupling. I purchased from this site a replacement which had a metal insert. I installed and ran the washer. after a while during agitation I smelled a burn smell like maybe an overload. I inspected and nothing appeared amiss. However I turned both the motor/ tranny and the water pump by hand. The water pump by itself seemed to take more torque to rotate by itself to turn than the tranny/ motor combination. I would guess several pounds. Is this water pump my problem? would a dragging water pump break the coupling on the other end of the motor? thanks Al Haney
