Parts for Whirlpool TF4600XTP0: 03 - Powerscrew And Ram Parts

This bearing plate supports the dryer drum shaft and secures the bearing assembly so the drum spins smoothly and stays aligned. Replacing a worn plate restores stable drum rotation and helps reduce noise and rubbing. What it does:

• Provides a mounting surface and alignment for the drum bearing and shaft
• Keeps the drum centered to prevent wobbling, scraping, and uneven wear
• Reduces loud bearing or metal-on-metal noises caused by a damaged plate
• Helps maintain smooth drum rotation and proper belt alignment

• Turn power and gas off to the appliance before starting work
• Inspect surrounding components (bearing, shaft, seals, mounting screws) and replace if damaged
• Use correct fasteners and torque to secure the plate; improper mounting can cause noise or premature wear

This bearing supports a rotating shaft or assembly inside the appliance, reducing friction for smooth, quiet motion. Replacing a worn bearing helps eliminate noise, restore proper alignment, and prevent damage to mating parts.

• Supports and centers a rotating shaft or hub
• Reduces friction and wear for smoother, quieter operation
• Helps maintain alignment of connected components
• Common failure symptoms: grinding or squealing sounds, vibration or wobble, rough/stiff or seized rotation, excessive play

• Disconnect power before servicing; shut off water or gas if applicable
• Note orientation and retaining hardware before removal
• Use proper tools (puller/press) to remove and seat the bearing squarely—avoid hammering
• Inspect shaft/bore and related seals or spacers; replace worn components before reassembly

Power screw hub is a replacement drive hub that secures the washer's drive screw/agitator to the transmission, helping restore proper agitation and reduce slipping. Fits applications where a worn or broken hub causes drive loss. What it does:

• Transfers rotational force from the drive screw/agitator to the transmission so the washer can agitate or spin.
• Replaces stripped or worn splines that allow the agitator or drive screw to slip under load.
• Common symptoms it can help fix: agitator or drum won't engage, intermittent agitation, grinding or squeaking during cycles.
• Install replacement if splines are visibly damaged or if the hub no longer holds the drive assembly securely.

• Disconnect electrical power (and water supply if applicable) before beginning any repair.
• Remove agitator/drive components; use the correct tools to avoid further spline damage.
• Inspect mating splines and fasteners; replace any damaged hardware and clean the area before installation.
• After reassembly, run a short test cycle to confirm normal operation.

This precision thrust race serves as the hardened bearing surface for axial loads in a rotating mechanism. Replacing a worn race reduces friction and noise, helping restore smooth, consistent motion and protect companion thrust bearings and washers from accelerated wear.

• Provides the hardened bearing surface for a thrust bearing assembly
• Supports axial load and helps maintain proper end-play in the mechanism
• Reduces friction to allow smoother rotation under load
• Wear may present as grinding/scraping noises, rough or binding motion, excessive axial play, or visible scoring

• Disconnect power and shut off water/gas before servicing
• Access the thrust-bearing area; note the order and orientation of races, bearings, and washers for reassembly
• Clean mating surfaces; replace any worn companion parts and lubricate only if specified by the service documentation
• Seat the new race fully and verify free movement by hand before reassembly and testing

This sprocket is the replacement drive gear that helps transfer motor movement to the appliance's drive system, restoring reliable rotation and timing. It's a direct-fit component used in the unit's drivetrain to maintain proper mechanical engagement. What it does:

• Engages with the drive chain/belt or related components to transmit rotational force from the motor
• Maintains proper timing and alignment of moving parts for consistent operation
• Worn or broken sprockets can cause skipping, slipping, noisy operation, or loss of drive
• Replacing a damaged sprocket helps eliminate drivetrain play and irregular movement

• One sprocket

• Disconnect power (and water supply if applicable) before beginning any repair
• Inspect mating components (chain/belt, bearings, bushings) and replace if worn to prevent premature failure
• Installation may require basic hand tools and lifting or support of the assembly; follow the appliance service manual for disassembly/reassembly steps

This small conical washer is used in select washer assemblies to maintain clamp force under vibration. It helps keep fasteners tight and components properly aligned for reliable wash and spin performance. What it does:

• Provides spring-like tension under a screw or bolt to maintain clamp load
• Helps prevent fasteners from loosening due to vibration
• Supports proper alignment and secure fit of mating parts
• Worn or missing washers can lead to rattling, looseness, or intermittent operation

• 1 cone washer

• Disconnect power and, if applicable, turn off water supply before servicing
• Access the relevant assembly per your model's service information
• Note the washer's original orientation and match it during reassembly
• Tighten hardware securely without over-torquing; test and recheck for security

This part has been discontinued by the manufacturer and is no longer available.

Includes a set of 8 pads.

This power nut threads onto the trash compactor's drive screw to raise and lower the ram. Replacing a worn nut restores smooth ram travel and helps prevent binding, stalling, or a ram that doesn't move.

• Threads onto the drive screw to convert motor rotation into up/down ram movement
• Worn or stripped threads can stop ram movement or cause binding under load
• Common symptoms: motor runs but ram doesn't move; grinding/stripping noises; ram stuck partway up or down

• Disconnect power at the breaker; pull the compactor from the cabinet as needed for access
• Support and secure the ram before removing the nut to prevent sudden movement
• Inspect the drive screw and ram guides for wear; replace any damaged parts
• After reassembly, run a full cycle to ensure smooth, complete ram travel

Size: 10-24 x 3/8 inch.

Specs: 10-16 x 1/2 inch.

The Whirlpool screw is an OEM replacement part responsible for securing various components or parts on different types of Whirlpool appliances.
