Magic Chef Washer W20JA4C Noisy

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.

The Washer Drive Belt is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. It is crucial for transmitting the power from the motor to the drum, enabling the washing machine to tumble and spin during the wash and spin cycles. The drive belt wraps around the motor and drum pulleys, providing the necessary traction and tension to operate efficiently.

Causes of a bad Washer Drive Belt can include stretching over time, which reduces its efficiency to grip the pulleys properly, or fraying and cracking due to age and normal wear and tear. Misalignment or improper installation can also lead to premature belt failure.

Symptoms of a bad Washer Drive Belt include:

• The washing machine failing to spin or agitate.
• A burning smell or unusual noises during operation, indicating slippage or rubbing.
• Visible signs of wear like cracks, fraying, or noticeable looseness on the belt.

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

The Snubber Ring is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This part dampens the vibration and noise produced during the washer's spin cycle. Positioned at the base of the tub, the snubber ring provides a cushion that absorbs the impact between the moving parts and the stationary frame of the washer. 

Over time, wear or dust on the snubber ring can reduce its effectiveness, causing increased vibration, noise, and stress on the washing machine components, possibly leading to premature failure.

Symptoms of a bad Snubber Ring include:

• Unusual noise during the spin cycle
• The washing machine vibrating more than usual or "walking" across the floor
• Increased wear and tear on other components due to excessive vibration

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

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.

Metal housing cover for brake.

Screws and instruction sheet included.

This brake spring restores proper tension in the washer's transmission brake so the basket stops promptly and releases cleanly for spin. Replacing a fatigued or broken spring helps bring back smooth, reliable spin and stopping performance.

• Maintains brake tension to hold the basket stationary between cycles
• Releases the brake during spin so the basket can reach proper speed
• Helps stop the basket smoothly at cycle end
• Common signs include no/slow spin, basket coasting too long after spin, or brake squeal/grinding when stopping

• Disconnect power and water before servicing; wear gloves and eye protection.
• The brake spring is under tension—secure the assembly and carefully relieve spring force before removal.
• Access typically requires removing drive components to reach the brake assembly; support the washer safely if tilted.
• After installation, hand-rotate the drive pulley to ensure smooth brake engagement and release before running a test cycle.
