Symptoms of a failing Direct Drive Washer Motor include:

• The washing machine not agitating or spinning correctly
• A noticeable decline in the washer's performance
• Unusual noises, such as humming or buzzing, indicating the motor is struggling

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

This exhaust vent extension provides extra duct length to move dryer or hood exhaust farther from the appliance, improving airflow routing and helping reduce backpressure and lint buildup in short-vent installations. What it does:

• Extends the length of an existing exhaust duct to reach a distant vent outlet
• Helps restore proper ventilation when original ducting is too short
• Reduces restricted airflow that can cause longer dry times or excess lint accumulation
• Works as an inline rigid/semirigid extension piece for exhaust systems

• Disconnect power (and gas for gas dryers) before accessing or modifying exhaust connections
• Remove lint and debris from ducting before installing the extension to ensure clear airflow
• Securely fasten with appropriate clamps or foil tape and maintain a smooth, unobstructed path

This drain tube funnels and directs excess water away from the appliance to the drain path, helping prevent pooling and water damage. It replaces a worn, cracked or clogged tube to restore proper water flow. What it does:

• Carries water from the appliance's drainage area to the drain outlet
• Helps prevent leaks and interior water buildup from a damaged or disconnected tube
• Can resolve symptoms like water pooling under/behind the appliance or intermittent draining
• Ensures proper routing so water flows to the drain instead of into the cabinet

• One drain tube

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Turn off water supply and remove any panels needed to access the tube
• Inspect and replace any worn clamps or fasteners; ensure tube is routed without kinks
• After installation, restore power/water and run a test cycle to ensure there are no leaks

This connector is an insulated electrical harness terminal that joins appliance wiring to restore a secure electrical connection and help prevent intermittent power or arcing. It's a direct-replacement style used on select Whirlpool appliances. What it does:

• Provides a secure, insulated connection between two wires or a wire and a component terminal.
• Helps stop intermittent power, flickering, or loss of function caused by loose or damaged terminals.
• Reduces risk of arcing and overheating at a compromised connection point.
• Matches OEM fit/shape to maintain proper routing and strain relief where applicable.

• Turn off and unplug the appliance (or shut off breaker) before inspecting or replacing electrical parts.
• Inspect surrounding wiring and terminals for heat or corrosion; replace damaged wiring as needed.
• Use proper crimping or terminal tools and secure strain relief; verify firm, no-play connections before restoring power.

This terminal block access cover protects the appliance's electrical connection area, helping keep wires shielded and reducing the risk of accidental contact. It restores the factory appearance and helps maintain safe operation. What it does:

• Shields the terminal block and wiring from dust, debris, and accidental contact
• Helps prevent shorting or arcing at the power connection area
• Restores a finished look after service or replacement of wiring components
• Supports safe access control by covering live terminals when installed

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before servicing.
• Remove or loosen the mounting fasteners for the old cover, then position and secure the replacement cover.
• Verify the cover fits flush and does not pinch wiring; ensure all connections are tight before restoring power.

This block restraint is a small mounting block that secures internal components and limits movement to reduce noise and wear. It restores proper alignment and keeps parts from shifting during operation. What it does:

• Anchors and stabilizes nearby components to prevent excessive movement and vibration
• Helps reduce rattling or banging noises caused by loose internal parts
• Keeps parts aligned to prevent premature wear or abrasion
• Supports safe, reliable operation by holding components in the intended position

• One block restraint

• Disconnect power (and water for washers/dishwashers) before beginning any repair
• Access the mounting location by removing the appropriate panel(s); basic hand tools typically required
• Remove the old block and replace with the new restraint; ensure correct orientation and secure fit
• Inspect surrounding fasteners and mounting surfaces; do not overtighten plastic parts
