Fix a washer agitator spinning freely or not turning clothes. This part restores washing action. Moderate DIY—bolt removal can be tricky if worn.
Replaced agitator and washplate bolt and washer. Normally this would have been a 5 min job, however the bolt wouldn't come loose. The teeth on the agitator were worn down and the shaft the bolt screws into would turn with the bolt when trying to loosen it. I had to cut out the agitator using a dremel and hold the shaft in place with a vise grip in order to unscrew the bolt. Once the bolt was out I used WD-40 to help get the agitator off the gears. Job took much longer than normal, but I... Read more
Washer won't drain or makes loud whining noise? This drain pump removes water between cycles. DIY repair takes 30-40 minutes with basic tools.
Replace the drain pump after watching a video demonstrating the process. The washing machine had run properly and emptied, so I was surprised how much water remained in the pipe after disconnecting the old pump. Plan on having 2-3 large towels underneath before removing it. The most difficult part (and most irritating) was replacing the intake and outtake hoses with the existing spring clamps. The drain hose into the pump took almost twenty minutes to attach properly. If the hardware store was... Read more
Supports the spin basket and reduces friction during operation. Replace if you hear grinding, thumping, or squealing noises during spin cycle. Confirm fit.
First, DO NOT call Sears for parts, their call center knows nothing about the product. App-Pros are the best for help and the right parts. I figured to repair, replace all seals and any item that shows need to and all items that have to do with the spin that may be bad. Repair videos great help. I will start from the "bottom" up, the repairs were not done in this order, just a list of what I did and notes. Replaced-- motor drive coupling, (checked out transmission ok), thrust washer,...

This is a control knob used on dryers, typically for the timer or cycle selector. It attaches to the timer shaft and allows you to select drying cycles and settings. Replace this knob if it is cracked, broken, or if the D-shaped mounting hole has worn out, causing the knob to spin freely without engaging the timer shaft.
I followed YouTube for instructions. Had a slight problem removing stems, but got it done. Read more
Replaces cracked or broken washer lid hinge. Supports smooth opening and closing of the top-load washer lid. Female hinge end for washer cabinet.
The greatest thing about Appliance Parts Pros is that when I ordered the part, I watched the 2 minute video on how replace it. When the part arrived, the next day by the way, I simply did as the video did. I love this site! I've repaired my washer and dryer and saved so much money simply by watching these videos and ordering the part. Customer service is amazing as well. They have always given me the correct information and I've never had to wait longer than a couple of minutes for... Read more
The Motor Rotor is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool washing machines. Situated within the transmission housing, this specialized metal component physically connects the drive motor to the outer brake housing that controls the drive shaft and wash basket movements during all cycles.
Causes of failure involve the wearing of motor bearings or cracking of cast magnesium surfaces from repeated rotations over extended usage periods.
Symptoms requiring replacement include:
This Whirlpool replacement is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, and select other brands utilizing common Whirlpool motor designs.
Unplugged power cord, shut off hot and cold water valves, and disconnected hot and cold water lines. I taped the lid closed and laid washer down on its front panel to access motor parts underneath. Removed center screw (allen wrench) and then removed large, round, plastic rotor (had to use some force with fingers behind it to get it off). I could see that the gear teeth inside the rotor had been partially stripped off ruining the rotor (and causing the noise). I then removed the clutch... Read more
This is a multi-ribbed drive belt that connects the motor to the wash drum, allowing the drum to spin and agitate during wash and spin cycles. Over time the belt can stretch, crack, or break from normal wear. Replace this belt if the washer drum won't spin or agitate, if you hear a burning rubber smell, or if the motor runs but the drum does not move.
With more difficulty and frustration than expected but it works fine now. Things learned: 1. Order only 3 replacement pins. One comes with the shocks that you can't be sure you see in the picture. 2. A circuit board in a plastic box mounted to the floor, left rear, must be removed by two screws to be able to get pliers onto the head of the pin more easily. This helps installation too. 3. A 1/2" deep socket pushed onto the retaining tab of the pin stays there while you pull with pliers from the... Read more

Washer won't spin or shows communication error? The motor control board controls spin speed and motor functions. DIY repair in 30 minutes with video guide.
This was the motor control board (also called the speed control board, motor control unit, or MCU in various places across the web). The repair was straightforward, except for two complications. First the old part was difficult to access in this model washer (Frigidaire Gallery Series front load washer). Instead of being easy to reach on the left side where there was space, it was sort of behind the actual motor on the right side of the housing. I spent some time trying to figure out... Read more

The parts arrived very quickly and exactly as ordered. Their repair videos were very accurate and made the job easy. I accomplished a quality repair at a reasonable cost. My thanks to the folks at appliancepartspros.com for making it possible! Read more
Connects washer lid to cabinet body for smooth opening and closing. Replace if broken, cracked, or missing to restore proper lid alignment and operation.
Wrote down model and serial number. Went to The Google to find replacement part. Among other choices, A'pplaincePartsPros.com came up. Quickly found the part. More to the point (of appreciation) is that there was a video right there on the page about how to replace this part. I hadn't tought much about it, since the lid easily came off with the pin broken. Watched the video, which was well done, and followed those steps quickly and easily. All done. The postscript is that I found the part of... Read more
Enables smooth drum rotation in your washer. Replace if you hear loud roaring or whirling noises during spin cycle. Confirm fit with your model number.
I replaced the spin bearing, tub seal, washer and drive belt since I had it all apart. The video was extremely helpful...I would have tore the whole thing apart trying to figure out how the agitator came off....but it was very simple. Read more
