Kenmore Elite Washer Parts

Gasket for upper wheel.

The Gasket is an OEM part for LG washing machines. This part forms a seal around the washer door, preventing water from leaking out during wash cycles.  

Causes of a bad gasket can include continuous exposure to water and detergent, mold or mildew buildup, and wear and tear from frequent opening and closing of the washer door. 

Symptoms of a bad gasket include:

• Water leaking from the washer door during operation
• Visible cracks, tears, or deformities in the gasket
• Mold or mildew buildup on the gasket
• The door not sealing properly, leading to inefficient washing

This OEM LG part is also compatible with some Kenmore models.

The Hot Water Valve is an OEM part for LG washing machines. It regulates the flow of hot water into the wash tub during the appropriate cycles. The valve allows hot water to enter the wash tub to help wash clothes thoroughly and effectively at warmer temperatures.

Causes of a bad hot water valve include mineral or lime buildup inhibiting proper operation, worn internal components due to age and use, or damage from freezing during winter months.

Symptoms of a bad hot water valve include:

• Only cold water entering the wash tub, even on hot cycles
• Fluctuating hot water temperature during cycles
• Leaks from the hot water valve area
• Inability to select hot water temperature settings

This LG part is also compatible with some Kenmore models.

This is the direct-drive rotor for the dishwasher wash motor. It pairs with the stator to spin the impeller and circulate wash water through the spray arms, helping restore proper spray pressure and quieter operation when the original rotor is worn.

• Couples with the stator to drive the circulation pump impeller
• Moves wash water through the spray arms for consistent cleaning performance
• Common failure signs: little or no spray, poor cleaning, loud humming or grinding from the pump area, or intermittent wash action
• Physical damage or weakened magnets can prevent proper rotation

• Disconnect power and water supply and pull the unit forward for access
• Remove the toe-kick and drain remaining water at the sump
• Remove the pump cover and center fastener, then pull the old rotor straight off
• Seat the new rotor fully, reassemble, and run a test cycle to check operation and leaks

This noise filter assembly conditions incoming AC power to reduce electromagnetic interference before it reaches the control system. A failed line filter can cause no power, intermittent shutdowns, or breaker trips; replacing restores stable, reliable operation. What it does:

• Filters EMI/RFI on the power line to help protect sensitive control electronics
• Helps prevent interference that can cause no power, flickering display, or random resets
• A failing filter may trip a breaker/GFCI when the unit is plugged in or starts a cycle
• Visual clues can include scorch marks, burnt odor, or a cracked/bulged filter body

• 1 noise filter assembly

• Disconnect power before servicing; verify the outlet is de-energized
• Access is typically near the power cord entry behind a rear/top panel (varies by model)
• Label or photograph wire positions and transfer connections one by one; secure the ground
• Mount firmly and route wires to avoid pinching; reassemble and test for proper operation

• Line filter, EMI filter, RFI filter

This heater assembly warms the wash water inside the tub so the control can reach and maintain the selected temperature. Replacing a failed element restores proper heating performance and helps return cycle times to normal. What it does:

• Heats the water in the washer's tub during applicable cycles
• Helps the control reach and hold target temperatures for better cleaning
• Failure symptoms can include cold wash water, extended cycle times, and reduced cleaning performance
• Visual damage or an open circuit on the element indicates replacement is needed

• 1 heater assembly

• Disconnect power and turn off water before servicing
• The heater mounts at the bottom of the outer tub; remove front or rear panels as required by your model to access it
• Note wire locations; loosen the center nut, press the stud to release the old seal, and carefully withdraw the element
• Seat the new gasket evenly, tighten the nut to compress the seal, then run a test cycle to check for leaks and proper heating

The Shipping Bolt Assembly is an OEM part for LG washing machines. This assembly is used to secure the washer drum during transportation, preventing it from moving and getting damaged. Shipping bolts are essential for maintaining the integrity of the washing machine when it is being moved or installed.

Causes of a bad or missing shipping bolt assembly include improper handling during moves, wear and tear from multiple uses, or not reinstalling them when relocating the washer. Ensuring that the shipping bolts are in place is crucial for protecting the internal components of the washer during transit.

Symptoms of a missing or damaged shipping bolt assembly include:

• Excessive movement or shaking of the drum during transportation
• Internal components of the washer getting damaged during a move
• Difficulty in securing the drum for transport
• Noise or instability during washer installation

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore.

This washer motor stator assembly is the stationary windings of the direct-drive motor. Replacing a weak or shorted stator restores smooth drum tumbling and strong, consistent spin performance so wash cycles complete properly.

• Creates the rotating magnetic field that drives the rotor and spins the inner basket
• Works with the rotor to provide torque for wash/tumble and high-speed spin
• Common symptoms: drum won't spin or tumble, stops under load, or motor hums without turning
• Burnt odor or visible heat damage on windings can indicate stator failure

• Disconnect power and turn off water; access the motor from the rear panel
• Remove the rotor center bolt and slide off the rotor; strong magnets—handle carefully
• Unbolt and remove the stator; transfer/reconnect the motor position (Hall) sensor and harness if present
• Tighten fasteners evenly; verify drum rotates freely by hand before restoring power

This replacement bolt assembly restores a secure connection between internal components, helping maintain proper alignment and quiet, stable operation. Use it to replace hardware that is missing, stripped, or damaged to keep parts firmly fastened. What it does

• Maintains safe, reliable connections when insulation and terminals are intact
• Typical failure signs: intermittent operation, no start, specific loads not working (pump/motor/valves), or error codes traced to wiring faults
• Visible damage like chafed wires, broken connector locks, or burned/corroded terminals indicates replacement

• Disconnect power and turn off water supply before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Photograph and label connectors; move one plug at a time from old to new to avoid miswiring
• Route along original clips, channels, and grommets; keep wiring clear of sharp edges and moving parts
• Ensure all connectors are fully seated; test operation before final reassembly
