The Shaft Seal is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This seal is designed to fit around the shaft that connects the tub to the transmission or motor, preventing water from leaking out of the tub and into the machine's internal components. Causes of damage to the Shaft Seal often involve normal wear and tear from regular use, as the constant motion of the shaft can gradually degrade the seal. Symptoms of a bad Shaft Seal include:
This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.
Just like the one's I have worked on for 30 years for Whirlpool. Read more
Upper agitator stopped spinning or won't turn? This thrust spacer washer reduces friction between agitator parts. Simple DIY repair, under 30 minutes.
I had replaced the Agitator cams a couple of times already due to my brother-in-law overloading the machine which stripped the teeth off of the cams. I also noticed the agitator seemed to 'wobble' and made 'knocking' noises quite a bit. I reviewed the video on the Appliance Parts Pros web site, disassembled the agitator and cleaned everything up, which helped a little, but not enough. Figuring the agitator itself was worn out also, I looked up and ordered all the parts for the upper agitator on... Read more
The Idler Arm Spring is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers, maintains tension in the dryer's belt system. This spring is crucial for the proper operation of the dryer, as it helps to keep the belt tight around the drum and motor pulley, enabling the drum to rotate smoothly during cycles.
Causes of a bad Idler Arm Spring can include stretching or weakening over time due to constant tension, or breakage from wear and tear.
Symptoms of a bad Idler Arm Spring include:
Replace the drum drive belt and tension pulley assy. Read more

Washer won't start because lid won't lock? This lid latch strike secures the washer lid during operation. Simple DIY fix in under 30 minutes.
Not wanting to spend hundreds of dollars on an appliance technician's service call, I searched online to troubleshoot the problems with my particular Maytag Washer Model Number MVWX500BW0. I stumbled across AppliancePartsPros.com and investigated there the most likely causes for my Maytag Washer's not agitating properly and not spinning at all. In order to acquire some additional information, I telephoned AppliancePartsPros.com and spoke with an extremely professional, knowledgeable and helpful... Read more
Seals the agitator cap to prevent water leaks into the agitator assembly. Replace if you notice leaking during wash cycles. Verify fit with your model.
I had previously replaced the pump about 1 year ago. That was not the problem. Still leaked the same way - intermittently, but always in the center of the washer onto the floor. None of the hoses were leaking - no evidence of corrosion or water mineral residue at any of the hose fittings. So, it must have been something else. I studied the parts diagram for the washer tub assembly and concluded the source of the leak almost had to be the outer tub's Centerpost Gasket. It was really the... Read more
Stabilizes your washer on uneven floors. Replace if spring is broken, stretched, or missing. Connects leveling links to keep machine level and balanced.
This was the second attempt at fixing this problem. The first repair and parts were generated by listing the problem and reviewing the potential corrections, listed on the web site. From making repairs on other clothes washers, I was confident that some of those potential causes could have been the cause. Unfortunately the counterbalance spring and suspension springs were not the cause as they were attached as intended and in good condition. I reached out for Appliance Parts Pros input... Read more

Replaced water inlet valve took all of 10 minutes and washer is filling great on hot and cold. Thanks to Appliance Parts Pros for getting me the part within 24 hours. I have a very happy customer. Read more
Washer won't spin, makes grinding noise, or has burning smell? Motor assembly drives drum rotation. DIY-friendly repair, typically 30-60 minutes.
I removed the belt and found with no load the motor ran but made a grinding noise. I purchased a new motor and installed it. The fix was easy and quick. Read more
Filters debris from water entering your washer and seals the hose connection. Replace if water fills slowly or screens are clogged. Confirm fit by model.
As a Mechanic, I did the common sense approach: INITIAL OBSERVATIONS & CHECKS: - Unplug Machine & check inlet water hose connections for leaks and signs of hose failure; - Remove back panel & inspect for water presence at all hose connections, pump, bottom of basket (bottom center of basket where the main motor, shaft bearing, and tub seal is located), dispensers, bottom of wash basket, water injector area, look everywhere where there is a hose connection and where water flows... - Inspect...

Dryer won't start or drum won't turn? A failed motor is often the cause. This motor drives the drum and blower. Moderate DIY repair, 1-2 hours.
Initially I assumed the motor bearings were getting warm and slowly seizing and causing the loud motor noise. I was wrong. It turns out, the blower fan assembly was the root cause. Before you replace the motor, check the blower wheel for small cracks around the center where the wheel connects to the motor. I had small fractures in the plastic from the center nut that moved outward. They were not large, see through cracks, just minor fractures in the plastic wheel. You would never think these...

This is a D-shaped knob insert or spring clip that fits inside a control knob and connects it to the control shaft on the dryer's front panel. It ensures the knob grips the shaft properly so you can turn the timer or selector. Replace this insert if your control knob spins freely without engaging the shaft or if the knob feels loose and won't stay in position.
I purchased the lid latch assembly and the lid switch strike. Following the clear video instructions for each part, my handy teenage son was able to remove the lid latch assembly and replace it with the new part as well as the lid switch strike. The washer is back to working perfectly for under $100. Appliance Parts Pros carry the parts to repair and at a lower cost than other online retailers. I saved about $30 compared to the other online site and I saved a service call fee. I'm so glad I... Read more
This is a water inlet valve that controls the flow of hot and cold water into the washing machine tub during the fill cycle. It is an electrically operated solenoid valve that opens and closes based on signals from the control board. Replace this valve if your washer is not filling with water, filling slowly, leaking from the back, or continuing to fill when it shouldn't be.
After tracing the water dripping back up through the inside of the washer I found the water dispenser inlet valve was leaking. I watched several videos to make sure I understood what was involved. I contacted a local parts company to get the part. I also searched online for the part. I found that AppliancePartsPros.com had it cheaper. I ordered late in the afternoon and it arrived the next day. It was fairly easy to installed and saved me a minimum of $99 "diagnostic" fee plus whatever the part... Read more
Fix loud clicking or grinding noises during spin cycles with this washer transmission gear case. Moderately difficult repair takes 1-2 hours.
Bought new Transmission/gear box. Putting in the new one was easy. Taking the old one out was a nightmare. The corrosion on the spanner nut and drive block was awful. Ten years of VERY hard water and six kids made for a lot of corrosion and hard water crystallization. I do not own a spanner wrench. I am not sure having one would've helped. I tried pipe wrenches, needle nose vice-grips and many other ways. What eventually worked was taking a three inch ratchet extension, putting it... Read more
Fixes door lock error codes (F5E3), door won't latch, or continuous lock cycling. DIY-friendly repair takes 20-30 minutes with basic tools.
We watched a YouTube video on how to replace the door latch. Very simple to do. We had to remove the metal band holding the door gasket to be able to access the latch. After removing the band, we pushed aside the gasket and removed the screws to the latch and the connecting cables. To install the new part, we just reversed the process. We reconnected the cables, inserted the new door latch and screwed it in. The hardest part of the process was getting the metal band around the gasket. It... Read more
Flexible tube that drains used water from your washer tub to the standpipe. Replace if cracked, leaking at connections, or torn along the length.
After not finding the needed parts to extend the hose at home depot, i turned to online help. I was able to find the right parts quickly on your site and was able to even watch a few videos on how to do the repair. I was beyond amazed that the parts arrived the next day, even though a Saturday and even with standard shipping. I was fortunate enough that my repair did not need any real explanation and the job was done in less than 10 minutes. Felt really good to be able to solve the problem,... Read more
