This 1/4-20 nut secures related fasteners in appliance assemblies to keep components aligned and stable. It's a direct-fit replacement when the original nut is worn, stripped, or missing. What it does:

• Threads onto a 1/4-20 bolt or stud to lock parts together
• Restores tight mechanical connections that reduce vibration and noise
• Helps maintain proper alignment of panels, brackets, or linkage
• Commonly replaced when the original nut is rounded, corroded, or loose

• One 1/4-20 nut

• Use the correct 1/4-20 bolt or stud size and thread engagement
• Tighten to manufacturer torque if specified; avoid over-tightening
• Inspect adjoining parts (bolt, washer, bracket) for wear before reassembly
• Turn off and unplug the appliance before performing repairs

This clamp secures flexible hoses to fittings to maintain a tight seal and prevent leaks. Use it to replace a worn or loose clamp to stop water or air seepage and restore proper hose attachment. What it does:

• Holds a washer, dryer, or appliance hose firmly to a barb or fitting to prevent slipping
• Helps maintain a watertight or airtight connection to reduce leaks and drips
• Replaces corroded, cracked, or stretched clamps that no longer grip reliably
• Supports normal appliance operation by keeping fluid/air flow contained

• One clamp

• Inspect the hose and fitting; replace the hose if damaged before installing the clamp
• Position clamp over the hose barb and tighten evenly; avoid over-tightening that can cut the hose
• Disconnect power and water supply before servicing any appliance components

This idler tension spring restores proper tension to the dryer belt/idler assembly so the drum turns smoothly and the drive system runs quietly. Replaces a worn or broken idler spring to help prevent belt slippage and uneven drying. What it does:

• Provides tension for the idler pulley so the drive belt stays engaged with the motor and drum
• Helps prevent the belt from slipping, squealing, or coming off the pulley
• Reduces vibration and noise caused by a loose or broken spring
• Commonly replaced when the belt repeatedly slips or the dryer makes unusual noises

• One idler tension spring

• Disconnect power (and gas, if applicable) before servicing the appliance
• Works with the idler pulley assembly; access typically requires removing the dryer front or top panel
• Inspect the idler pulley and belt for wear and replace both if damaged

This agitate & spin drive belt transfers motor power to the washer's transmission and spin mechanism. Replacing a worn belt restores proper agitation and spin performance and helps prevent slipping noise or burning-rubber smells.

• Links the drive motor to the main pulleys to power both agitation and spin
• Replaces a broken, stretched, or glazed belt that slips under load
• Common symptoms: no spin or no agitation, weak/slow spin, squealing, burning-rubber odor, visible cracks or fraying
• Helps ensure smooth, consistent tub movement and complete cycles

• Disconnect power and water; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Access the belt from the bottom or rear, per your model's service procedure
• Release belt tension (motor carriage/idler), remove the old belt, and route the new belt around the motor and drive pulleys as shown on the unit
• Rotate by hand before restoring power and running a test cycle
