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.

This cam fits between the refrigerator door and hinge to create smooth, controlled movement and a self-closing feel. Replacing a worn cam restores proper door alignment and gasket contact to help maintain temperature and reduce frost or moisture.

• Works with the hinge to guide door movement and provide a detent/self-close action
• Helps keep the door aligned for an even gasket seal and smoother opening/closing
• Worn cam symptoms can include clicking/popping at the hinge, a door that sags, swings open, or won't fully close without lifting/pushing
• Contribute to temperature fluctuations or condensation if the door doesn't seal consistently

• Disconnect power; unload and support the door to prevent damage
• Remove hinge cover and fasteners; lift the door as needed to access/replace the cam
• Note cam orientation and reuse original hardware, spacers, and shims
• Adjust leveling/hinge if needed
