Amana Washer 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 hinge retainer plate secures the appliance door hinge to the cabinet or door, keeping alignment and smooth operation. Replace a bent, stripped, or missing plate to stop hinge wobble and help the door close and seal properly.

• Anchors the door hinge and distributes load to prevent shifting
• Maintains proper door alignment and gap for smooth opening/closing
• Helps prevent door sagging, rubbing, or poor gasket sealing
• Typical symptoms include a loose hinge, wobbly door, or door not closing flush

• Disconnect power and support the door before removing any hinge fasteners
• Mark hinge locations to preserve alignment during reassembly
• Install the plate in the correct orientation; transfer any spacers/shims in original order
• Tighten fasteners evenly, then verify door alignment and gasket seal

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

STACK KIT FOR LONG VENT DRYER

This stacking kit secures a dryer on top of a compatible washer to save floor space and stabilize the stacked units. It helps keep the dryer aligned and reduces shifting or rocking during use. What it does:

• Provides a secure connection between dryer and washer to create a stable stacked laundry configuration.
• Helps prevent the dryer from sliding, tilting, or shifting during spin cycles — common signs a stack kit is needed.
• Uses brackets and mounting hardware to fasten the dryer to the washer and maintain alignment.

• Disconnect power to both appliances and follow all safety precautions before starting installation.
• Have a second person assist when lifting or positioning the dryer to avoid injury or damage.
• Follow the OEM installation instructions and torque guidance for mounting hardware; ensure both appliances are level and stable after installation.

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

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
