This balance ring mounts on the top of the washer's spin basket. Its sealed, liquid-filled chamber shifts weight to counterbalance uneven loads so the tub spins smoothly, reducing vibration, noise, and stress on other components. What it does:

• Uses internal fluid to counterbalance heavy or uneven loads during spin
• Helps minimize vibration, shaking, and thumping noises
• Reduces washer movement or "walking" during spin
• Common failure symptoms: excessive vibration/noise, frequent out-of-balance loads, or visible cracks/leaks at the ring

• 1 balance ring assembly

• Disconnect power and water; wear gloves and use proper safety precautions
• Access the ring by removing the cabinet/top and inner basket (procedure varies by model)
• Remove the old ring; seat the new ring evenly on the basket rim—do not puncture the sealed chamber
• Reassemble, level the washer, and run a test spin to ensure smooth operation

Right hand side. For screws use WPW10119828.

This small mounting screw secures the appliance's timer to its bracket or control console. It replaces missing or stripped hardware to keep the timer stable, properly aligned, and operating smoothly when you turn the control knob.

• Fastens the timer assembly securely to its mounting bracket or console
• Prevents shifting and vibration that can make the control feel loose or wobbly
• Helps maintain proper alignment of the timer shaft/knob
• Ideal replacement when original hardware is missing or threads are damaged

• Disconnect power before servicing; shut off gas if applicable
• Access the control console and support the timer while removing/reinstalling hardware
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten snugly without overtightening into plastic or thin metal
• Replace screws one at a time to keep the timer aligned

A small rubber bumper that cushions and protects appliance doors, drawers or panels to reduce noise and prevent hard contact. Replaces worn or missing bumpers to restore a snug, quiet close. What it does:

• Provides a soft buffer to stop doors or drawers from banging into the cabinet or frame
• Reduces vibration and rattling during operation
• Helps doors and panels sit properly when closed
• Simple, non-electrical part — no wiring or adjustment required

• One replacement bumper

• Inspect the mounting hole or surface; clean debris before installing
• Press the bumper into the hole or onto the surface until fully seated; use a blunt tool if needed for tight fits
• Disconnect power to the appliance first and follow OEM instructions
• Remove old adhesive before installing the new bumper

Straight knurled pin that secures knobs or small components to a shaft for a tight, slip-resistant fit. Replaces a worn or missing pin to stop loose, wobbly, or spinning knobs and restore reliable engagement. What it does:

• Secures knobs, dials or small parts to control shafts by providing a press-fit, knurled surface.
• Prevents wobble, slipping, or spinning of control knobs that won't turn with the shaft.
• Common service symptom: knob spins freely or fails to engage controls.
• Used where a small metal pin is required to lock a component onto a splined or smooth shaft.

• Disconnect power and unplug the appliance before servicing.
• Remove the knob or access panel to reach the shaft; pin is typically press-fit.
• Removal/installation may require needle-nose pliers, a small punch, or a bench press; protect surrounding parts from damage.
