• Loud noises such as grinding or clunking during spin cycles
• The washer failing to complete cycles or properly clean clothes
• The basket being loose or wobbling during operation

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

The Clutch is an OEM part for GE washing machines. This component is essential for engaging the washer’s transmission to facilitate the proper spinning and agitating of the drum during wash cycles.

Over time, the clutch can wear out or become damaged due to frequent use, heavy loads, or mechanical stress. Replacing a faulty clutch is crucial for maintaining the washer’s performance and efficiency.

Symptoms of a bad clutch include:

• The washer failing to spin or agitate
• Unusual noises during the wash cycle, such as grinding or whining
• Clothes remaining wet after the spin cycle
• The drum not rotating smoothly or at all

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

The Clutch is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. It is crucial for the proper functioning of the washer's spin cycle, connecting the transmission to the inner tub and facilitating the movement needed for spinning and agitating. The clutch ensures that the tub reaches the appropriate spin speed, thereby effectively removing water from clothes.

Causes of a bad clutch can include wear and tear from regular use, overloading the washing machine, or damage due to an imbalance during the spin cycle. When the clutch becomes faulty, the washing machine may struggle to spin or agitate correctly, affecting the overall efficiency of the appliance.

Symptoms of a bad clutch include:

• The washer not spinning or agitating properly
• Excessive noise during the spin cycle
• Wet clothes at the end of the cycle
• The washer stopping mid-cycle

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

The Basket Drive is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool washers. The basket drive is responsible for rotating the wash basket during the cycle. 

Common causes of a bad basket drive include regular wear and tear, mechanical failures, or damage from overloading the washer. These issues can prevent the washer drum from spinning or agitating properly.

Symptoms of a bad basket drive can include:

• The washer fails to agitate or spin clothes properly 
• Strange noises are heard coming from the drive area
• The basket no longer rotates smoothly
• Excessive vibration is noticed 

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

The Coupling Washer is a genuine OEM part for LG washing machines. As a crucial component connecting the drive motor to the inner drum, the coupling washer allows for the transmission of rotational force during the spin cycle. This rotational movement generated by the drive motor is what extracts water from clothing, effectively drying clothes. 

Symptoms of a bad coupling washer include:

• The washing machine fails to spin or rotates very slowly
• Vibrations and noise during spinning
• Rubber couplings tearing or shredding prematurely

Over time, the constant exposure to vibrations and forces during spin cycles can cause the rubber material of the coupling washer to deteriorate. 

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore washers.

The Mode Shifter & Shaft Assembly is an OEM replacement part for GE washing machines. It is a mechanical component located inside the washer tub that allows for shifting between agitation, spin, and other cycles. The mode shifter and shaft assembly receive input from the control system to precisely change the operational mode at designated points in the cycle.

Causes of a bad mode shifter & shaft assembly include worn out or damaged internal gears, stripped or broken shafts, or a loss of integrity in components that restrict smooth shifting between modes.

Symptoms of a bad mode shifter & shaft assembly include:

• Inability to start or change wash cycles
• The washer getting stuck in one mode of operation
• Grinding noises and vibrations during cycle shifts
• Premature ending of cycles

This GE OEM replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

This shaft and tube assembly supports and drives the washer's inner basket during the spin cycle. Replacing a worn or bent assembly restores smooth rotation and helps reduce noise, vibration, and basket wobble.

This clutch housing assembly supports the clutch coupling in the washer's drive system, aligning and securing moving components that shift between wash and spin. Replacing a worn housing restores smooth engagement and consistent agitation and spin performance. What it does:

• Houses and supports the clutch coupling that engages the basket for wash and spin cycles
• Maintains alignment of drive components to help prevent slippage and noise
• Helps transfer motor power to the wash plate/basket through the clutch mechanism
• Common symptoms of a failing part: no or intermittent spin, weak/no agitation, grinding or scraping noises from the bottom of the washer

• One clutch housing assembly

• Disconnect power and water; turn off supply valves before servicing
• Access is typically from the bottom—tilt or lay the washer carefully and support it securely
• Remove rotor/stator and clutch components as needed to reach the housing; note fastener locations and wiring
• After reassembly, rotate the drive by hand to check for binding and run a test cycle to verify agitation and spin

This oven liner replaces the damaged or corroded inner surface of the oven cavity to restore a smooth, heat-resistant interior and help reduce smoke, odors and uneven cooking caused by a compromised liner. What it does:

• Provides the oven cavity's inner surface that protects the cabinet and insulation from heat and spills
• Helps prevent hot spots and cooking inconsistencies caused by warped or missing liner sections
• Reduces smoke and burnt-food odors from residue trapped in damaged liner areas

The Clutch and Housing Assembly is an OEM component specifically designed for LG washing machines. This assembly includes the clutch, pulley, and outer housing that allows for spin cycles. 

The clutch and housing assembly works by connecting and disconnecting the motor's spinning power to the inner tub during wash and spin cycles. Over time, belt-driven components wear from repeated use.

Causes of a bad clutch and housing assembly can include belt slippage from old or damaged belts, worn gear teeth, or an accumulated buildup of residue affecting proper engagement.

Symptoms of a bad clutch and housing assembly include:

• Inability to initiate or complete spin cycles  
• Loud grinding noises from damaged gears or bearings
• Vibrations from an improperly engaging clutch mechanism

This OEM LG part is also compatible with some Sears/Kenmore models. Replacing with a new assembly restores the spin function and reduces future belt and component wear.
 

A replacement brake assembly that stops the washer tub at the end of a spin cycle for safe unloading and reliable cycle finishes. Designed as a complete brake package to restore proper stopping and reduce unwanted tub rotation. What it does:

• Engages to slow and hold the tub after spin to prevent over-spin and make unloading safer.
• Replaces worn brake shoes and related hardware that can cause long spin-downs or continuous spinning.
• Helps eliminate scraping, grinding, or burning smells from a failing brake.
• Restores normal end-of-cycle behavior when the brake is the confirmed fault.

• One complete brake package (assembly) as shown in OEM parts literature.

• Disconnect power to the washer before beginning any repair to avoid injury.
• Verify the brake is the diagnosed fault; inspect drum, motor coupling, and linkage for related wear.
• Installation may require drum or front panel removal; retain all fasteners and note routing of springs and cables.
