Replacing bearings kit for top load Whirlpool washer. ( WTW8800YW0) cabrio
Everythin went together fine. Except rotor wont
Turn. I'm at the stage of putting rotor back on the stator. Those magnets are strong! Simply doesnt turn even before I tighten the bolt with the Alan wrench. It's not even bolted on and it attaches by magnet and does not move. No change to that after I tighten the bolt into the shaft.
So. I'm obviously doing something wrong because the shaft turns easily until I out the rotor on it.
I've checked for damage on anything along the way.
What is up with my rotor?

It turns out I put the stator bracket in backwards. The tabs were not in the screw holes they were sticking out away from the stator. The bolts were blocking the rotor from turning .
