This speed control regulates motor speed for compatible Whirlpool laundry appliances, restoring proper drum and motor operation. It replaces a worn or failed control to help the appliance run at the correct speeds for wash or dry cycles. What it does

• Modulates motor voltage to control rotational speed during selected cycles.
• Can correct symptoms such as a drum that won't turn at the correct speed, weak or inconsistent motor operation, or cycles that run only on a single speed.
• Works as the motor's control interface to enable varying speeds required by different cycles and functions.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any work.
• Replace with the exact part number and match wiring connections; do not modify connectors or wiring.
• Handle the control board by its edges and avoid touching circuit traces.

Small but critical: this groove pin locks the planetary/drive assembly to the mixer shaft so the beater is driven firmly and wobble-free. Replacing a bent or sheared pin restores solid, reliable mixing.

What it does

• Secures the planetary to the drive shaft to transmit torque
• Helps fix beater not-turning, slipping, or intermittent drive
• Reduces wobble or knocking from a loose planetary
• Replaces pins that are bent, mushroomed, or missing

What’s included
One groove/retainer pin (sold individually).

Install notes

• Unplug the mixer; work on a padded surface
• Support the planetary; drive the old pin out with a small punch
• Align holes and tap the new pin in until seated flush—don’t overstrike
• Inspect the planetary and shaft holes for elongation; re-grease if opened

This small flat washer is used as a hardware spacer in Whirlpool appliances. It distributes clamping force and helps maintain proper alignment and smooth movement where a screw, bolt, or pin secures components. Exact placement varies by model.

• Distributes load to protect mating surfaces from damage
• Acts as a spacer/shim to set correct clearance
• Helps reduce friction and metal-to-metal noise
• Common symptoms of a worn or missing washer: loose or misaligned parts, scraping/squeaking, or difficulty keeping a fastener tight

• Disconnect power and shut off water supply before servicing
• Support the assembly and note the original washer order and placement during disassembly
• Reinstall the washer in the same position/orientation as the original
• Tighten hardware snugly; do not overtighten to avoid deforming the washer

This retaining ring secures components on a drive shaft, keeping gears or assemblies properly seated so the drive operates smoothly. A worn or missing ring can allow unwanted movement, noise, or separation under load.

• Locks into the shaft groove to hold parts in correct axial position
• Helps prevent wobble, slipping, or parts working loose during operation
• Can address symptoms like rattling/grinding noises or a drifting/wobbly shaft
• Visual signs of failure include bending, deformation, or loss of spring tension

• Disconnect power and allow moving parts to stop before servicing
• Wear eye protection—retaining rings can spring free under tension
• Use appropriate retaining ring/snap-ring pliers or controlled leverage to remove/install
• Ensure the ring seats fully in the groove and secure engagement before reassembly

This small replacement clip secures appliance components and helps keep wiring and trim fastened so panels stay flush and parts stay in position. It restores proper fit and reduces rattles or loose pieces. What it does:

• Holds wiring, hoses or trim in place to prevent rubbing or pinching
• Keeps panels and covers aligned to reduce noise and vibration
• Prevents connectors and small parts from shifting during operation
• Helps maintain safe routing of wires and hoses

• Disconnect power (and water if applicable) before starting any repair
• Remove any trim or access panels that block the clip location
• Use needle-nose pliers or a flat screwdriver to remove the old clip and press the new clip into place
• Inspect surrounding harnesses and fasteners for wear while installing
