Norge Axle, Roller, Pulley Parts

The Thrust Bearing Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This kit is essential for the proper operation of the washer's transmission system, allowing the drive system to engage smoothly and efficiently. 

Over time, components within the thrust bearing kit can wear down or become damaged due to the constant stress and movement they endure during the wash cycle. This wear can lead to issues with the washing machine's ability to agitate or spin correctly.

Symptoms of a bad Thrust Bearing Kit include:

• The washing machine is noisy during operation
• The washer struggles to agitate or spin
• The washing machine may fail to spin at all, leaving clothes wet at the end of the cycle
• Excessive vibration during use

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 Upper Dishrack Wheel Assembly is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. This assembly includes the wheels and the bracket that attaches to the upper dishrack, allowing it to slide in and out smoothly. It ensures the stability and ease of use of the upper dishrack, making it easier to load and unload dishes.

Causes of a bad upper dishrack wheel assembly can include wear and tear from regular use, exposure to high heat and moisture, or physical damage such as cracks or broken wheels. When the wheel assembly is compromised, it can hinder the movement of the upper dishrack, making it difficult to operate.

Symptoms of a bad upper dishrack wheel assembly include:

• Difficulty sliding the upper dishrack in and out
• Upper dishrack coming off its tracks
• Noisy or uneven movement of the upper dishrack
• Visible damage or broken wheels

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

This is a plastic push-on washer motor pulley.

This replacement idler pulley keeps the drive belt tight and tracking correctly so the drum can rotate smoothly. It restores quiet, consistent operation when the original pulley is worn or seized and causing belt slippage or noise.

• Maintains proper tension on the drive belt to enable smooth drum rotation
• Provides a low-friction surface for the belt to ride on and stay aligned
• Common symptoms of failure: squealing/chirping, belt fraying or coming off, burning rubber smell, or a drum that won't turn
• Replace if the pulley wobbles, binds, or the rim/bearing is worn

• Disconnect power; if gas, shut off the gas supply
• Note belt routing, relieve tension from the idler arm, and remove the belt from the motor pulley
• Remove the retaining hardware from the old pulley, install the new pulley on the idler arm shaft, and re-tension the belt
• Manually rotate the drum to verify smooth belt tracking before reassembly and test run

This idler assembly is the spring-loaded belt tensioner that keeps the drive belt correctly tightened. Replacing a worn or seized idler restores smooth belt tracking, reduces squeal, and helps prevent slippage or loss of drive.

• Maintains proper tension on the drive belt for reliable power transfer
• Helps prevent belt slippage, squealing, or the belt coming off the pulleys
• Supports smooth rotation of the driven components
• Failure symptoms can include noise from the belt path, a frayed or derailed belt, or loss of motion

• Disconnect power and allow all moving parts to stop before servicing
• Access the belt path; relieve belt tension and remove the old idler assembly
• Install the new assembly; ensure the pulley spins freely and the belt is centered in the groove
• Manually rotate the system to verify alignment and clearances before restoring power

Attaches to the inner tub for the upper rack

This tub wheel mounts on the dishwasher's tub wall to guide and support the rack as it slides in and out. Replacing a worn wheel restores smooth rack movement and helps prevent binding, noise, and derailments.

• Mounts to the tub to provide rolling support for the dish rack/rail
• Replaces cracked, flattened, or missing wheels that impede rack travel
• Helps fix racks that stick, bind, are hard to pull/push, or derail
• Reduces grinding or squeaking from the rack area

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing
• Open the door and pull the rack forward for access
• Release the old wheel from its retainer/axle per your model's design; install the new wheel in the same orientation
• Ensure the wheel spins freely and the rack slides smoothly before use

This rear support assembly stabilizes the appliance's rear housing and helps keep internal components aligned for smooth operation and reduced vibration. It restores proper rear-end support to prevent rubbing, noise, and uneven motion. What it does:

• Provides a stable mounting point for the appliance's rear section to maintain alignment
• Reduces vibration and rattling caused by a loose or worn rear support
• Helps prevent rubbing, scraping, or grinding noises from misaligned components
• Restores proper fit between the rear housing and moving parts to promote smooth operation

• One rear support assembly

• Disconnect power (and gas if applicable) before beginning any repair
• Access typically requires removing the appliance's rear panel or cabinet; follow OEM service manual steps
• Inspect surrounding mounting hardware and replace any worn fasteners for a secure fit

This idler pulley guides and maintains tension on the dryer drive belt so the drum spins smoothly and quietly. Replacing a worn pulley restores proper belt tracking and helps prevent belt wear or breakage. What it does:

• Maintains correct tension and alignment of the drive belt
• Reduces squealing or grinding noises from a worn pulley bearing
• Prevents belt slipping and uneven drum rotation
• Helps avoid premature belt wear or burning rubber smells

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any work.
• Access may require removing the dryer front or cabinet panels and releasing the belt; follow your model's service instructions.
• Inspect the belt and drum support for wear and replace if needed while servicing.
• Use basic hand tools.
