• Protects wiring, controls and nearby components from heat, moisture and debris.
• Restores the original barrier that helps prevent accidental contact with moving or hot parts.
• Replaces cracked, broken or missing shields that can lead to rattling, exposed components or interference.
• Helps maintain appliance safety and quiet operation when installed correctly.

• One replacement shield

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair.
• Handle replacement shield carefully — edges may be sharp; use gloves and basic hand tools.
• Retain and reuse original fasteners unless new hardware is specified; ensure shield is properly seated and secured.
• Do not operate the appliance with shields or covers missing.

This replacement sleeve fits over a rotating shaft to reduce friction and protect the mating surface, helping restore smooth operation and reduce noise. Use when a worn sleeve causes rubbing or uneven movement. What it does:

• Acts as a bushing to prevent metal-to-metal contact on a rotating shaft
• Reduces friction and wear on the shaft and surrounding components
• Helps stop rubbing, scraping, or squeaking noises caused by a worn sleeve
• Restores proper alignment for smoother, quieter operation

• Disconnect power (and gas, if applicable) before starting any repair
• Use basic hand tools; no special training required for most installations
• Inspect the shaft and mating surfaces; replace if excessively scored or damaged
• If press-fit, install carefully to avoid damaging the new sleeve; do not use solvents as a substitute for proper fit

This replacement sleeve is a small shaft bushing that helps the drum/shaft rotate smoothly and keeps moving parts aligned to reduce wear and noise. It restores proper fit where a worn sleeve causes rubbing or play. What it does:

• Acts as a bearing surface between the shaft and housing to reduce friction
• Helps prevent metal-on-metal contact that can cause squeaks or scraping noises
• Restores correct alignment to reduce wobble or uneven drum movement
• Protects surrounding seals and components from premature wear

• One sleeve

• Disconnect power before starting and follow the appliance service manual for disassembly steps
• Inspect adjacent parts (shaft, bearings, seals) and replace if worn to ensure long-term performance
• Use proper tools and keep track of fasteners; some disassembly of the drum or cabinet may be required
