This top coupling links two drive components in select washers to transfer rotation smoothly. Replacing a worn or stripped coupling restores consistent agitation/spin and can reduce slipping, rattling, or grinding noises from the drive area. What it does:

• Connects mating shafts/components so power is transmitted through the drive system
• Helps maintain alignment and cushions minor shock to protect other parts
• Failure symptoms may include no or weak agitation/spin, intermittent drive, or clicking/grinding sounds
• Visual clues can include cracks, rounded/stripped splines, or excessive play

• One top coupling

• Disconnect power; turn off water supply if moving the appliance
• Access location varies by model; cabinet/top or front panel removal may be required
• Note orientation of flats/splines and seat the coupling fully—do not hammer into place
• Inspect the mating hub/shaft; replace worn companion parts to prevent rapid re-wear

The Screw is an OEM part for Whirlpool appliances, designed to provide secure fastening in a variety of locations within the appliance. This versatile component is crucial for assembly and maintenance tasks, ensuring that parts are held together tightly and function as intended. Whether it's securing panels, attaching components, or facilitating repairs, this screw is engineered to meet the specifications of Whirlpool appliances, offering durability and reliability.

Causes of screw issues can include normal wear and tear, over-tightening, which may strip the threads, or corrosion that weakens the screw's hold.  

Symptoms of a bad or missing Screw include:

• Loose components or panels within the appliance
• Unusual noises due to parts not being securely fastened
• Difficulty in assembling or disassembling parts for repairs or maintenance

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

This replacement cabinet screw secures panels, brackets, and ducts in Whirlpool-built appliances so components stay aligned and secure. Replacing missing or stripped hardware helps reduce vibration, rattling, and gaps that can affect performance.

• Fastens panels, brackets, and internal components in the appliance cabinet
• Helps maintain proper alignment and reduce vibration or rattling noises
• Restores a tight fit where original hardware is missing, damaged, or stripped
• Typical symptoms: loose paneling, buzzing/rattling sounds, or parts that won't stay fastened

• Disconnect power; for gas models, also shut off the gas supply
• Replace one fastener at a time to preserve alignment and match to the original hardware
• Use the correct driver; start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading
• Do not overtighten into sheet metal

The Drive Shaft Seal is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. It plays a role in preventing water from leaking out of the tub and onto the drive system. This seal ensures that the connection between the drive shaft and the washing machine tub remains watertight, protecting the mechanical components from water damage and corrosion.

Causes of a bad drive shaft seal include aging and deterioration of the material, excessive load sizes that strain the washer, and foreign objects caught between the seal and the shaft, which can lead to tears or breaks.

Symptoms of a bad Drive Shaft Seal include:

• Water leakage from the underside of the washing machine
• Unusual noises during the spin cycle
• A visible tear or damage to the seal itself
• Increased vibration and movement of the machine during operation

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

The Coupling is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool French door bottom-mount refrigerators equipped with an interior automatic icemaker. As an internal part, this coupling connects the auger motor to the ice mold assembly, allowing the motor to transmit rotational force during the ice harvest cycle.

Causes of a damaged coupling can include regular wear from years of exposure to changing temperatures inside the refrigerator. Mineral deposits accumulating on surfaces over many harvest seasons have the potential to deteriorate plastic material. Physical obstructions lodged in the icemaker mechanism could potentially bend or crack the coupling.  

Symptoms of a failing coupling involve:

• Inability of the auger motor to engage fully and eject frozen cubes
• Grinding or knocking sounds emitting from the icemaker
• Restricted or incomplete ice harvest that leaves cubes in molds

This OEM replacement is compatible with some Kenmore Elite French door models.

The Spring is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is a small but important internal part that applies pressure to dispense cubed or crushed ice from the refrigerator door. The spring is located within the ice dispenser mechanism and works with a lever to push ice out through the dispenser chute upon activation. 

Causes of a bad spring can include wear and tear over time, putting undue pressure on the dispenser by jamming items into the chute, or damage from excessive force applied during dispensing. 

Symptoms of a bad spring include:

• Ice cubes or crushed ice becoming jammed or failing to dispense properly  
• The ice dispenser failing to push ice fully through the chute
• Excessive pressure needs to be applied to activate the dispenser
• Ice cubes are dispensed in irregular sizes or clumps rather than individual pieces

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

This part is an ice auger gear motor that is used on refrigerators with freezer units. The motor is the component that turns the auger, which in turn pushes the ice cubes out of the dispenser. If the motor fails, the dispenser will not dispense the ice cubes. Some users report the ice dispenser only working intermittently at times. The motor may sound slow or not make any sounds at all when the dispenser is pressed. This part is very easy to replace. Be sure to unplug the refrigerator unit before replacing this part. Some people performing this replacement wish to wear work gloves to protect their hands.This ice auger gear motor is compatible with refrigerators with freezer units that are manufactured by the Whirlpool brand, including Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, and Roper. It is sold individually and is sourced straight from the manufacturer.

Fix noisy operation or poor ice dispensing caused by a worn drive sleeve coupling. This connector transmits motor rotation in your refrigerator's drive assembly.
