• Prevents metal-on-metal contact that can cause noise, wear, or loosening
• Helps stop the agitator from wobbling or shifting during the spin cycle
• Contributes to secure engagement between the agitator and the transmission

• Disconnect power to the washer before beginning service
• Remove the agitator per the manufacturer's service instructions to access the screw and spacer
• Install the spacer flat and seated, then reinstall the screw and agitator; follow the OEM service manual for proper fastening procedure
• Inspect the agitator and screw for wear or damage and replace as needed

• Inspect surrounding parts and replace any damaged items
• Use the OEM-style grommet to ensure proper fit and function

This rubber bumper cushions and protects appliance components, reducing noise, vibration and wear where parts contact the cabinet or other surfaces. It helps keep moving panels and assemblies aligned for quieter, smoother operation. What it does:

• Acts as a shock absorber to dampen vibration and noise
• Prevents metal-to-metal contact that can cause wear or chipping
• Helps maintain proper spacing and alignment of doors, panels or moving parts
• Commonly used where a soft, durable stop is needed to protect surfaces

• Install in the original mounting location; ensure bumper seats fully against the surface
