This replacement washer is a small hardware component used in appliance assemblies to provide a stable bearing surface and proper spacing. Replacing a worn or missing washer helps maintain alignment, reduce vibration, and protect mating parts from damage.

• Distributes load under a nut, bolt, pin, or shaft to protect mating surfaces
• Maintains correct spacing and alignment within stacked components
• Helps reduce friction, vibration, and noise in moving assemblies
• Worn or missing washers can contribute to looseness, wobble, rattling, or premature wear

• Disconnect power and shut off gas/water before servicing
• Note the original order and orientation of parts during disassembly
• Inspect fasteners, shafts, and bushings; replace any that show wear or damage
• Tighten fasteners securely per the service manual; do not overtighten

This spring attaches to the dryer door hinge and provides tension to keep the door securely closed during operation. It allows the door to open and close smoothly while maintaining a proper seal. Replace this spring if the dryer door won't stay shut, pops open during a cycle, or if the spring is visibly stretched, broken, or detached from the hinge.

The Screw is an OEM component compatible with Whirlpool washing machines. This screw secures the rear panel onto the cabinet frame, ensuring a sturdy connection between housing components.  Proper installation is critical for the washer's structural integrity.

Causes of a bad screw include corrosion from repeated water exposure or stresses from years of use. Loosening can occur from vibrations weakening the threads over time. 

Symptoms of a bad screw include:

• Rear panel detaching from frame opening gaps
• Increased noise and vibrations from a compromised seal  
• Stress on other connections from improper mounting points
• Potential leak paths from openings near hoses or tub areas
