Admiral Washer LAT2000AKE Will not agitate or doesn't agitate

The Thrust Bearing Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This kit is essential for the proper operation of the washer's transmission system, allowing the drive system to engage smoothly and efficiently. 

Over time, components within the thrust bearing kit can wear down or become damaged due to the constant stress and movement they endure during the wash cycle. This wear can lead to issues with the washing machine's ability to agitate or spin correctly.

Symptoms of a bad Thrust Bearing Kit include:

• The washing machine is noisy during operation
• The washer struggles to agitate or spin
• The washing machine may fail to spin at all, leaving clothes wet at the end of the cycle
• Excessive vibration during use

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

The Drain Pump Assembly is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This component is responsible for efficiently removing water from the washer's tub during the drain cycle. It plays a crucial role in ensuring that the washing machine operates smoothly by pumping out dirty water, thereby preparing the machine for the rinse and spin cycles.

Over time, drain pumps can become clogged or fail due to debris build-up, wear and tear from regular use, or electrical malfunctions. When the drain pump is compromised, it can lead to water drainage issues, affecting the overall performance of the washing machine.

Symptoms of a bad drain pump assembly include:

• Water not draining from the washer
• Unusual noises such as grinding or humming during the drain cycle
• The washer stopping mid-cycle or displaying error codes related to drainage
• Visible leaks from the pump area

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

This lid switch actuator engages the washer's safety switch when the lid is closed so cycles can start and spin as designed. Replace a broken or missing actuator to restore proper lid switch engagement and reliable operation.

• Engages the lid switch when the lid is closed to enable agitation and spin
• A worn, cracked, or missing actuator can cause the washer not to start or to stop before spin
• Intermittent operation that changes when pressing on the lid often indicates misalignment
• Lack of an audible "click" from the lid switch can point to a faulty actuator or alignment

• Disconnect power before servicing; do not work on a live appliance
• Access the lid/switch area per your model's service procedure
• Remove the damaged actuator and install the new part, securing as designed
• Before reassembly, close the lid to ensure the switch clicks and engages properly

The Motor Spring is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool top-loading washing machines. This spring applies proper tension to the agitator assembly during wash cycles.

Causes of a bad motor spring can include damage from unintended impacts or fatigue after extended use. Over time, constant movement may cause the spring to weaken.

Symptoms of a bad motor spring include:

• Inadequate cleaning as clothes don't tumble vigorously  
• Excessive noise or vibration from the off-balance agitator 
• Stalling or failure of the agitator to rotate fully

This OEM Whirlpool replacement is also compatible with some Kenmore, Admiral, Estate, and Roper top-load washer models as well.
