This ground screw secures the appliance grounding conductor to the chassis for a reliable electrical ground connection, helping maintain safety and proper operation. It's a direct-fit fastener used where a dedicated ground screw is required. What it does

• Fastens the grounding conductor to the appliance frame to maintain a secure earth/ground connection.
• Helps prevent electrical shock and reduces risk of stray voltage on the chassis.
• Addresses symptoms like intermittent or absent grounding and loose or corroded ground connections.
• Used wherever the original equipment grounding screw has been lost, damaged, or corroded.

• Disconnect power at the breaker and unplug the appliance before starting any work.
• Only attach to designated grounding points on the chassis; ensure the mating surface is clean and free of paint or corrosion.
• Use the correct driver and moderate hand torque—do not overtighten to avoid stripping threads.

Bag carrier handle assembly that secures a disposable dust bag to the vacuum housing, letting you remove and replace bags cleanly and safely. Restores proper bag seating and handling for bagged vacuum units. What it does:

This latch plate secures the appliance door to the cabinet, providing the positive engagement needed for proper door closure and operation. It helps restore a door that won't stay closed or won't trigger door switches. What it does:

• Acts as the door strike that the latch engages to hold the door shut
• Ensures the door closes firmly so door switches can register a closed state
• Can stop issues like a loose or misaligned door, or a door that won't remain closed
• Restores proper alignment and engagement without replacing the full latch assembly

• Disconnect power (and gas if applicable) before servicing
• Remove the door or access panel to reach the latch area
• Inspect related latch components and alignment; replace only the damaged part
• Use basic hand tools; tighten fasteners securely but avoid overtightening

This drive chain connects a washer's motor/transmission to the agitator or drum, transferring rotational motion so the wash basket spins and agitates properly. Replaces a worn or broken chain to restore normal drive function. What it does:

• Transfers motor torque to the transmission/agitator so the tub spins and agitates
• Commonly replaced when the washer won't agitate or spin despite motor running
• Replaces stretched, rusted, or broken chain that causes slipping or unusual noise
• Works as a direct mechanical link—no electrical components involved

• Install with the appliance unplugged and water supply turned off; follow OEM service manual for alignment and tension
• May require partial disassembly of cabinet, pulley, or transmission; have basic hand tools ready
• Inspect sprockets, tensioners, and related components and replace if excessively worn

Bottle with brush. Color: Harvest Gold. It's 0.6 fluid ounces.

This safety switch actuator engages the door/interlock switch so the appliance senses a closed, secure door and will run as intended. Replacing a worn actuator restores reliable door engagement and control-system signaling. What it does:

• Moves the door latch into position to trip the appliance's safety/interlock switch
• Ensures the control board senses a closed door so cycles can start or continue
• Common symptom: appliance won't start or stops when the door is shut or nudged
• Common symptom: door won't fully latch or feels loose when closing

• One safety switch actuator

• Disconnect power (and water if applicable) before starting any repair
• Remove exterior panels or door assembly as needed to access the actuator; keep fasteners organized
• Verify switch alignment with the actuator and test operation before reassembly
• Wear gloves and eye protection

This deodorant is a replacement refrigerator deodorizer that helps reduce common food and household odors inside the fresh-food compartment for a cleaner-smelling interior. Simple swap helps maintain a neutral-smelling refrigerator. What it does:

• Adsorbs and reduces odors in the refrigerator interior to help keep food-smelling fresher
• Fits into the refrigerator deodorizer holder or designated compartment
• Works passively—no power or batteries required
• Helps refresh interior air between routine cleaning cycles

• For best results, remove old deodorizer and place new cartridge in the designated holder
• Disconnect power before beginning
• Wash hands after handling and follow local disposal guidelines for used cartridges
• If odors persist, inspect seals, drains, and spoiled food before replacing the deodorizer

Size: 6-32 x 3/8 inch.

This C-shaped retaining ring snaps into a groove on a shaft or pin to hold a component in place. It restores secure retention so parts don't slide off or shift during operation.

• Snaps into a groove to secure parts on a shaft or pin
• Prevents axial movement to keep assemblies aligned
• Helps reduce wobble, rattling, or parts migrating off
• Common signs: missing/broken clip, loose mechanisms, parts slipping off during use

• Disconnect power; also shut off water or gas as applicable

The Drive Gear Kit is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool trash compactors. It is an essential component that powers the compaction mechanism. The drive gear kit consists of a series of gears, shafts, and other components that work together to transfer the motor's rotational force to the compaction ram.

Causes of a bad drive gear kit in a trash compactor can include mechanical wear and tear over time, exposure to excessive loads or foreign objects, or damage from improper usage or maintenance.

Symptoms of a faulty drive gear kit in a trash compactor:

• Difficulty in starting or completing the compaction cycle
• Loud grinding or squeaking noises during operation
• Failure of the compaction ram to move or compress waste properly
• Leaks or vibrations due to improper alignment or gear damage

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