This drive belt connects the washer's motor to the drive system so the basket agitates and spins as designed. Replacing a worn or broken belt restores reliable power transfer and helps stop slipping, squealing, and no-spin issues.

• Transfers motor power to the drive system for proper agitation and spin
• A stretched, glazed, or broken belt can cause no spin, no agitation, slow or intermittent spin
• Squealing/chirping noises or a hot rubber smell often indicate belt slippage
• Visible cracks, fraying, or glazing are signs the belt should be replaced

• Disconnect power and water; move the washer to access the base safely
• On many models, access is from below—tip the unit back carefully per service instructions
• Walk the old belt off the pulleys; route and seat the new belt by rotating the pulleys; ensure it's centered and untwisted
• Inspect motor and drive pulleys/splutch for wear or misalignment before test-running an empty cycle

The Shifter Actuator is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool washing machines. It is an electronic component located in the transmission assembly that controls the shifting between wash cycles. The shifter actuator receives signals from the control panel to change the drum rotation speed and direction depending on the selected wash cycle settings.

Symptoms of a bad shifter actuator include:

• The washer fails to change cycles or stay on one speed setting 
• Abnormal noises coming from the transmission area
• Delayed or hesitant shifting between cycles

Causes of failure are usually due to normal wear and tear over prolonged use. Not replacing the shifter actuator can result in transmission damage over time.

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

Note: This part has been redesigned and may appear different from the one you’re replacing. The small hood may have to be removed for proper installation.

The Capacitor is an OEM part for Whirlpool washers. It is responsible for starting the motor and keeping it running smoothly during the washing cycle. It stores electrical energy and delivers it to the motor when needed, providing the necessary power for the washer to function properly.

A bad washer capacitor can occur due to electrical malfunctions, wear and tear, or damage to the capacitor itself. If you notice symptoms such as the washer not starting or spinning, the motor making unusual noises, or the washer not completing cycles, it may be time to replace the washer capacitor.

Symptoms of a bad washer capacitor include:

• Washer not starting or spinning
• Unusual noises coming from the motor
• Incomplete cycles or erratic behavior

Repair your washer by replacing the faulty or worn-out washer capacitor with this genuine OEM part.
