The Fiber Washer is an OEM part for Whirlpool appliances. This washer provides a reliable seal and is used in various connections within the appliance to prevent leaks and ensure secure fittings. Its fiber construction offers durability and resistance to wear, making it ideal for maintaining tight seals in high-pressure or high-temperature environments.

Common causes of a bad fiber washer include degradation from water or chemical exposure, physical damage from over-tightening, and natural wear and tear.

Symptoms of a bad fiber washer include:

• Water or fluid leaks at connection points
• Loose fittings or connections
• Visible wear, cracks, or deformation of the washer
• Decreased performance of the appliance due to improper sealing

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and some Kenmore models.

This Hex Nut is a small but critical fastener used to secure brackets, panels, and internal assemblies in your appliance. Replacing a stripped, corroded, or missing nut restores a tight, rattle-free, and safe installation.

• Threads onto a matching bolt or stud to clamp parts together
• Helps maintain alignment and reduce vibration-related loosening
• Commonly used on panels, brackets, supports, and internal assemblies
• Replace when threads are damaged, hex flats are rounded, or hardware is missing
• Symptoms can include loose or rattling components or hardware that won't stay tight

• Disconnect power and, if applicable, shut off gas or water before servicing
• Use the correct-size nut driver or wrench to avoid rounding the hex
• Start the nut by hand to prevent cross-threading; tighten snugly without over-torquing
• Inspect and replace any damaged mating bolt/stud or washer for a secure repair

The Retaining Clip is an OEM part for Whirlpool stand mixers. This small but essential part ensures the stability and secure fitting of various mixer components, contributing significantly to the appliance's overall performance and durability. Its primary role is to hold parts in place, preventing movement that could lead to wear or malfunction during operation.

Stand mixers are subjected to a variety of stresses, particularly when mixing thick doughs or other dense mixtures. The retaining clip's integrity is vital in these situations, as it helps to maintain the correct alignment and functioning of the mixer's moving parts. 

Symptoms of a bad Retaining Clip in a stand mixer include:

• Components such as beaters or attachments becoming loose or detaching during use.
• Unusual vibration or noise 
• Difficulty in attaching or detaching mixer attachments  

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.
