To install a motor coupling on a Whirlpool washing machine, you will need to remove the agitator and the motor to access the coupling. Once you have access, align and secure the new coupling in place. Tips for an easier installation include marking or taking pictures of the parts before disassembling, ensuring proper alignment of the coupling, and using a socket wrench for secure tightening.
