Midea 17438000000256 Retractor Motor Washer Part

Product Description

The MIDEA 17438000000256 is a retractor motor designed as a direct replacement component for Midea-brand washing machines. This motor drives the retractor mechanism responsible for controlling drum movement or door latch retraction within the washer assembly. At 6.0 x 5.0 x 3.0 inches, it is a compact electromechanical component suited to tight appliance cavities. Installation is typically performed by appliance repair technicians or qualified HVAC and plumbing service professionals with appliance experience. This part is a factory-specified component that restores the original mechanical function when the existing retractor motor fails or becomes inoperative.

This retractor motor fits a range of Midea residential washing machine models across both the MAE50 and MAE70 product families, as well as MAM50 and MAM70 series units. It is applicable to portable and standard washer configurations where the retractor assembly is an integrated part of the drive or locking system. Technicians replacing a failed retractor motor should verify the model number on the unit data plate before ordering to confirm fitment.

Reinstall all fasteners and confirm the retractor mechanism moves freely before restoring power and running a test cycle.
