The Washer Drain Pump Assembly is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This component is vital for draining water from the washer drum during the wash and rinse cycles. The pump forces water out of the drum and through the drain hose, ensuring that clothes are cleaned and rinsed effectively.

Symptoms of a failing Washer Drain Pump Assembly include:

• Water not draining from the washer, leaving clothes wet
• Unusual noises during the drain cycle, such as humming or grinding
• Error codes on the washer's display indicating drainage issues
• Water leaks from the pump area or from the washer
• The washer stopping mid-cycle due to drainage problems

Causes of a bad drain pump assembly can include obstructions from debris, wear and tear on the pump motor over time, electrical issues such as short circuits, or damage from improper installation or usage.

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

Note: This pump has been redesigned and the mounting plate is no longer required. It now mounts directly to the base of the washer.

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.

The Motor Assembly is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. It drives the agitator and drum, enabling the machine to effectively clean and rinse clothes during the wash cycle. The motor assembly is crucial for the proper operation and performance of the washing machine.

Over time, the motor assembly can wear out or become damaged due to factors such as heavy usage, electrical issues, or mechanical failures. These problems can lead to a malfunctioning motor, affecting the washer's ability to operate correctly.

Symptoms of a bad Motor Assembly include:

• The washer not spinning or agitating
• Unusual noises during operation
• The drum not moving
• The washer failing to start

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

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. 

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.

The Spring Kit (6 springs) is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It includes a set of six springs that are essential for the proper functioning of various components within the dishwasher.

Symptoms of a need to replace the spring kit include:

• Difficulty in opening or closing the dishwasher door
• Spray arms not rotating properly or getting stuck
• Excessive noise or rattling during wash cycles

Causes of faulty springs can include general wear and tear over time, corrosion or damage from moisture exposure, or physical impact or mishandling during maintenance or repairs.

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