Admiral Bracket & Flange

The Spring Mounting Bracket is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. It is located at the bottom of the appliance, near the base. It provides a secure attachment point for the suspension springs, which help absorb vibrations and stabilize the drum during operation.

Causes of a faulty spring mounting bracket can include regular wear and tear, physical damage, or improper installation. These factors can result in issues such as excessive shaking or movement of the appliance, increased noise during operation, or unbalanced loads.

Symptoms of a bad spring mounting bracket may include:

• Excessive shaking or movement of the appliance during operation
• Increased noise or rattling sounds during the wash or drying cycle
• Unbalanced loads, causing the drum to tilt or not spin properly

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

This rear panel support is the structural bracket that secures the appliance's rear cover/backguard in place. Replacing a worn or broken support restores proper alignment, helps protect internal components, and reduces vibration noise.

• Secures the rear panel/backguard to the chassis for stable, proper fit
• Maintains alignment of panels and mounting points
• Helps minimize vibration, flexing, and rattles from a loose rear panel
• Common signs of failure: cracked or missing bracket, stripped mounting points, panel movement or buzzing

• Disconnect power at the breaker; shut off gas supply
• Pull the appliance forward carefully to access the back; protect flooring
• Remove fasteners, replace the damaged support, and reuse original hardware/clips
• Keep wiring clear of sharp edges; tighten screws evenly without over-torquing and check for vibration before repositioning

This motor retainer secures the motor to its mounting point, keeping the assembly tight and aligned. Replace a worn or broken retainer to cut vibration and noise and to protect nearby seals, wiring, and components. What it does:

• Holds the motor firmly in place within the assembly
• Maintains alignment for smooth, quiet operation
• Supports sealing surfaces and connections; on water-bearing assemblies, help prevent leaks
• Replace if you notice a loose or rattling motor, new vibration/noise, or signs of movement or leakage at the motor

• Includes 1 motor retainer.

• Disconnect power; turn off water supply.
• Access the motor area and support the motor before removing the old retainer.
• Inspect mating parts and seals; replace any damaged components.
• Fully seat the motor and install the new retainer securely; test for abnormal noise or leaks.

This bracket strike secures the door latch strike to the appliance frame, restoring reliable door closing and sealing. Replacing a damaged or bent bracket helps prevent doors from popping open or failing to latch properly. What it does:

• Secures the door strike so the latch can engage and hold the door closed.
• Restores correct door alignment when a worn or broken bracket causes improper latching.
• Addresses symptoms such as a door that won't latch, pops open, or sits unevenly.
• Provides a direct-fit structural replacement for the original mounting point.

• Disconnect power (and water, if applicable) before beginning any service.
• Access the bracket by removing the door trim or inner panel as required; keep original fasteners.
• Align the strike with the latch, secure with appropriate screws, and test door operation before reassembly.

A U-bend retainer designed to secure a U-shaped heating element or tubing in place, preventing movement and vibration for reliable operation. Fits as the replacement hold-down clip used on compatible Whirlpool HVAC and appliance assemblies. What it does:

• Secures U-shaped element or tubing to the appliance frame or mounting bracket
• Prevents rubbing or vibration that can lead to wear or noisy operation
• Helps maintain proper spacing and alignment of the element for consistent performance
• Used where a compact, U-shaped clamp is required to hold components safely

• One U-bend retainer clip as shown

• Inspect the surrounding area and replaced part for damage before installing
• Use basic hand tools; align clip over the U-bend and fasten to the designated mounting point
• Disconnect power and allow components to cool before attempting repair
• Replace with the exact OEM fasteners

This bracket assembly secures a switch and thermal fuse used to control power and protect the appliance from overheating. It replaces a worn or failed mounting assembly to restore proper electrical safety and switch function. What it does:

• Holds the switch and thermal fuse in the correct position for reliable operation
• Allows the switch to detect door/cover position or user inputs (safe, common symptom: appliance won't start or respond)
• Provides thermal-fuse protection when overheating or overcurrent interrupts normal operation (safe symptom: appliance stops mid-cycle)
• Restores secure electrical connections when the original bracket is cracked or terminals are loose

• Always disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before starting work
• Basic hand tools required; follow the appliance's service manual for exact steps
• Inspect wiring and connectors for heat damage; replace if compromised

A stabilizer bracket that secures and supports internal components to reduce movement and rattle during operation. Helps restore stable alignment so the appliance runs quieter and more reliably. What it does:

• Provides structural support to help keep assemblies aligned and reduce excessive movement
• Dampens vibration and minimizes knocking or rattling noises tied to loose components
• Restores proper fit where a worn or broken bracket allowed shifting or misalignment
• Works as a repair for symptoms like intermittent noise, excess vibration, or parts that sag or shift

• Disconnect power (and water if appliance-specific) before beginning any repair
• Basic hand tools are usually required; refer to your model's service manual for exact steps
• Inspect surrounding parts for wear while replacing the bracket

This mounting bracket secures appliance components in place to restore proper alignment and reduce movement. It provides a stable connection point to keep assemblies from shifting during normal use. What it does:

• Holds and supports a specific internal assembly or panel to prevent loosening or sagging
• Restores correct alignment when a worn or broken bracket causes parts to sit unevenly
• Reduces vibration and rattling that can occur from unsecured components
• Helps maintain safe, reliable operation by keeping fastened parts in position

• One mounting bracket

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Installation typically requires common hand tools; keep original fasteners if reusable
• Inspect surrounding parts and mounting points for damage; replace any stripped threads or broken clips
• Wear gloves to protect against sharp edges and follow all safety guidelines from the appliance manufacturer

This mounting bracket secures internal appliance components to the cabinet or frame, restoring stable support and proper alignment for the attached assembly. It's a direct-fit replacement when the original bracket is bent, broken, or missing. What it does:

• Provides a solid attachment point to keep components aligned and secure
• Prevents vibration, rattling, or movement caused by a damaged or missing bracket
• Restores correct positioning for connected parts so they operate reliably
• Helps maintain sealing and clearance by holding panels or assemblies in place

• One mounting bracket as pictured

• Inspect surrounding fasteners and mounting points; replace any stripped screws or clips
• Use the same screw locations and hardware type as the original for proper fit
• Disconnect power and remove any nearby panels before accessing the bracket to avoid injury
