The Knob Spring Clip is an OEM part for Whirlpool appliances, specifically designed for use in washers and dryers. This small but essential component is responsible for securing the control knob to the control panel, ensuring that the knob stays firmly in place during operation.

Common causes of a bad spring clip include frequent use, accidental impacts, or wear and tear over time. A faulty spring clip can result in the control knob becoming loose or falling off, making it difficult to operate the appliance.

Symptoms of a bad knob spring clip include:

• The control knob is loose or wobbly
• The control knob falls off easily
• Difficulty in turning or setting the control knob
• The appliance not responding correctly to knob adjustments

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

The Console Clip is an OEM part compatible with Whirlpool dryers. This clip secures the control console assembly to the top panel, ensuring it is firmly mounted during operation. Properly functioning clips are necessary to maintain the correct alignment of controls and prevent detachment. 

Causes of a bad clip can include wear and fatigue from repeated opening and closing of the dryer door. Excessive force or impact could also bend or break the clip over time.

Symptoms of a bad clip include:

• Loose console assembly that is not securely fastened  
• Misaligned or dangling controls that do not sit flush
• Dislodged console at risk of detaching from housing
• Missing clip leaving an open mounting point

This electronic control board is the appliance's main logic module that manages cycles, timers, and user commands so your appliance runs settings correctly. It restores control responsiveness and cycle sequencing when the original board fails. What it does:

• Receives input from the user control and sensors and directs power to motors, valves, heaters, and displays
• Can stop faulty or random operation caused by burned or shorted circuit traces
• Common symptom linkage: unresponsive control panel, no power to components, or erratic cycle behavior
• Helps clear failures that produce control-related error codes

• One electronic control board

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid shock; follow OEM service manual for access and replacement
• Handle the board by edges; avoid touching component leads and PCB traces to prevent static or physical damage
• Verify connectors are fully seated and match harness locations before restoring power
• If error codes or symptoms persist after replacement, recheck wiring, sensors, and door/lid switches per OEM diagnostics

The Screw is an OEM component compatible with Whirlpool washing machines. This screw secures the rear bulkhead to the tub, ensuring vibrations are reduced through solid mounting points. Properly installed screws dampen oscillating movement.

Causes of a bad screw include damage from water exposure like corrosion or breakage from stress concentrations if the tub bangs around during imbalanced loads. 

Symptoms of a bad screw include:

• Loose or detached rear bulkhead allowing side-to-side play
• Excessive noise and shaking felt through the surrounding walls   
• Development of micro-cracks around screw holes over time
• Potential leak paths if holes are no longer sealed 

This Whirlpool replacement screw restores a stable suspension system. It is compatible with additional brands like Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
