Power Nut Or Trunnion

This nut secures components and hardware on compatible appliances, providing a reliable fastening point to keep panels and parts firmly in place during normal use. What it does:

• Threads onto the matching bolt or stud to hold parts together
• Prevents panels or assemblies from coming loose and causing rattling
• Restores proper fit where a nut is missing, stripped, or damaged
• Helps maintain alignment of mounted components when tightened correctly

• One nut

• Disconnect power and shut off water before servicing the appliance
• Use the correct socket or wrench size to avoid rounding the nut
• Tighten to a snug fit; avoid over-torquing which can strip threads or damage components
• Replace any associated damaged bolts/studs or use matching hardware for a secure repair

The trunnion is the hub that mounts the washer's inner tub to the drive shaft. Replacing a worn hub restores a solid, centered connection so the basket spins smoothly without wobble, slip, or grinding. What it does:

• Secures and centers the spin basket on the drive shaft for balanced rotation
• Transfers drive torque to the inner tub during spin
• Helps maintain basket alignment to reduce vibration
• Typical symptoms of failure: loose/wobbly tub, scraping or grinding noises, poor or no spin, frequent out-of-balance events

• 1 trunnion

• Disconnect power and water before service; wear gloves and eye protection
• Access the hub by removing top/access parts, then the agitator/wash plate and inner-tub fasteners
• Clean the shaft and mating surfaces; seat the new trunnion fully and tighten fasteners evenly in a crisscross pattern
• Inspect related parts (tub seal, bolts, bearing) while open and replace if worn; run a short test cycle to ensure smooth spin
