Admiral Washer LATA400AAE Pumps but will not spin

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.

Drive belt transmits motor power to drum for wash and spin cycles. Replace if washer won't spin, makes noise, or belt shows wear. Confirm fit by model.

Fix loud grinding or clicking noises during drain cycle. This washer drain pump removes water from the tub. Moderate DIY repair, typically 30-45 minutes.

Snubber ring cushions the tub base during spin cycles. Replace if cracked, worn, or producing plastic shavings to restore smooth, quiet operation.

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. 

Metal housing cover for brake.

This retaining ring secures a component on a shaft or within a groove so it stays aligned during operation. Replacing a bent, rusted, or missing ring helps stop wobble, noise, and parts working loose.

• Locks into a groove to keep gears, pulleys, wheels, or spacers from sliding off a shaft
• Helps maintain proper spacing and alignment of moving parts
• Common signs of failure: wobbling parts, scraping/rubbing noises, or components that work loose
• Visual clues: deformation, corrosion, or loss of spring tension

• Disconnect power and any utilities to the appliance before service
• Wear eye protection—retaining rings can spring free under tension
• Note the order/orientation of any washers or spacers before removal
• Use appropriate snap-ring or needle-nose pliers and ensure the ring seats fully in its groove
