This balance ring mounts on the top of the washer's spin basket. Its sealed, liquid-filled chamber shifts weight to counterbalance uneven loads so the tub spins smoothly, reducing vibration, noise, and stress on other components. What it does:

• Uses internal fluid to counterbalance heavy or uneven loads during spin
• Helps minimize vibration, shaking, and thumping noises
• Reduces washer movement or "walking" during spin
• Common failure symptoms: excessive vibration/noise, frequent out-of-balance loads, or visible cracks/leaks at the ring

• 1 balance ring assembly

• Disconnect power and water; wear gloves and use proper safety precautions
• Access the ring by removing the cabinet/top and inner basket (procedure varies by model)
• Remove the old ring; seat the new ring evenly on the basket rim—do not puncture the sealed chamber
• Reassemble, level the washer, and run a test spin to ensure smooth operation

This small mounting screw secures the appliance's timer to its bracket or control console. It replaces missing or stripped hardware to keep the timer stable, properly aligned, and operating smoothly when you turn the control knob.

A cam sleeve that supports and guides the cam on its shaft to keep the cam-driven mechanism moving smoothly. Replacing a worn sleeve helps restore correct alignment and reduces binding or intermittent movement. What it does

• Centers and stabilizes the cam on its shaft for reliable engagement.
• Prevents metal-on-metal wear between the cam and shaft.
• Helps eliminate binding, wobble, or uneven operation caused by a worn sleeve.
• Common symptom of failure: noise, sticking, or irregular movement from the cam-driven mechanism.

• Helps prevent grinding, scraping, or other metal-on-metal noises from the gearbox
• Can reduce rough or noisy spin and improve agitation when a worn bearing is the cause
• Helps maintain proper alignment of transmission components for smoother operation

• Disconnect power and water supply and drain the washer before beginning any work.
• Replacement requires accessing the agitator/gearcase per the OEM service manual and may involve transmission/gearcase disassembly.
• Inspect nearby seals, fasteners and other bearings while servicing; replace damaged parts to avoid premature failure.
