This pressure switch hose carries air from the washer tub to the pressure switch so the machine can sense and control water level. Replacing a damaged hose restores proper fill control and prevents level-sensing errors. What it does:

• Channels air/vacuum from the tub to the pressure switch so the control can detect water level.
• A cracked, pinched, or collapsed hose may cause overfilling, underfilling, failure to advance cycles, or continuous fill.
• Restores accurate water-level sensing when replacing a worn or damaged hose.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury.
• Remove and replace the hose carefully; avoid kinks, sharp bends, or pinched routing that can impair sensing.
• Use the factory-style connection points and clamps; ensure both ends are seated securely.
• After installation, run a test fill or diagnostic cycle to confirm correct water-level operation and no leaks.

This 12-14 x 1/2 screw is a factory fastener used to secure appliance panels, brackets, and components. Replacing a missing or stripped screw restores a tight fit, reduces rattling, and keeps parts properly aligned for reliable operation.

• Secures panels, brackets, and internal components to their mounting points
• Replaces damaged, rusted, or missing hardware
• Helps stop vibration and rattling caused by loose fasteners
• Restores proper alignment and stability of covers or assemblies

• Disconnect power and, if applicable, shut off gas/water before servicing
• Match the original screw's location and length; replace one at a time
• Start threads by hand to prevent cross-threading; tighten snugly without over-torquing
• Reinstall any original washers, clips, or spacers used with the screw

This standpipe adapter connects the appliance drain hose to the household standpipe or waste outlet, helping ensure a secure drain path and reduce the risk of leaks or poor drainage. Simple replacement for damaged or worn connectors. What it does:

• Provides a sealed connection between the appliance drain hose and the standpipe or drain outlet
• Prevents water leaks at the hose-to-standpipe junction
• Helps maintain proper drainage and reduces gurgling or slow-draining symptoms
• Durable plastic construction designed to resist cracking and wear under normal use

• One standpipe adapter

• Turn off and unplug the appliance and stop water flow before replacing the adapter
• Remove the old adapter and clean the mating surfaces; ensure the hose and standpipe are free of debris
• Slide the drain hose onto the adapter fully and secure with the proper clamp or retainer
• If you find cracks in nearby hoses or fittings, replace those parts as needed and test for leaks after installation

This tub-to-pump drain hose carries wash water from the washer tub to the drain pump so the machine can pump out during drain cycles. It replaces a cracked, split, or clogged hose to stop leaks and restore proper draining. What it does

• Directs tub water to the drain pump during drain and spin cycles
• Seals at tub and pump connections with hose clamps to prevent leaks
• Restores normal draining when original hose is damaged, cracked, or collapsed
• Helps prevent water on the floor and washer failure-to-drain symptoms

• Disconnect power and turn off water supply before starting any repair
• Remove lower access panel or cabinet to access hose and clamps
• Inspect and reuse or replace clamps as needed; secure hose ends evenly to avoid leaks
• Route hose without sharp bends or kinks; check for leaks after reconnecting power and running a short cycle

This spring hook tool helps remove and reinstall suspension and drive springs safely and precisely, making spring service or drum suspension work easier and more controlled for technicians and DIYers. What it does:

• Provides a secure hook for grabbing and manipulating washer/dryer springs
• Helps install or remove springs during suspension, tub, or agitator repairs
• Reduces risk of spring slippage compared with improvised tools
• Useful when addressing noisy, off-balance, or uneven-spinning washers caused by spring or suspension issues

• Always disconnect power and water supply before servicing appliances
• Wear eye protection and gloves; springs are under tension and can snap back
• Use the tool only for its intended spring tasks and follow OEM service procedures

A replacement nut-lock used to secure fasteners and keep panels or components from backing off due to vibration. Simple, durable hardware that restores a secure connection and reduces rattling or loose parts. What it does:

• Secures a mating bolt or stud to prevent loosening from vibration or movement
• Restores a solid attachment for panels, brackets, or assemblies that may come loose
• Helps eliminate symptoms such as rattling, vibrating, or intermittent panel movement
• Suitable where a locking fastener is required to maintain a reliable connection

• Disconnect power and follow appliance safety procedures before starting work
• Locate the matching stud or bolt and remove the old fastener if present
• Use the correct-size wrench or socket and tighten until the nut-lock seats; avoid over-tightening
• Inspect threads and mating hardware for damage; replace damaged components

This 1/4-20 nut secures related fasteners in appliance assemblies to keep components aligned and stable. It's a direct-fit replacement when the original nut is worn, stripped, or missing. What it does:

• Threads onto a 1/4-20 bolt or stud to lock parts together
• Restores tight mechanical connections that reduce vibration and noise
• Helps maintain proper alignment of panels, brackets, or linkage
• Commonly replaced when the original nut is rounded, corroded, or loose

• One 1/4-20 nut

• Use the correct 1/4-20 bolt or stud size and thread engagement
• Tighten to manufacturer torque if specified; avoid over-tightening
• Inspect adjoining parts (bolt, washer, bracket) for wear before reassembly
• Turn off and unplug the appliance before performing repairs

This small strainer sits inside the washer's water inlet valve and screens out sand, rust, and sediment from the supply lines. Replacing a clogged or missing screen restores normal fill flow and helps protect the valve.

• Filters debris from incoming hot and cold water before it reaches the valve and tub
• Helps maintain consistent water flow during the fill cycle
• A clogged or damaged screen can cause slow fill, very long fill times, or no fill
• Common causes for replacement include mineral buildup or rust/sediment from supply lines

• Unplug the washer and turn off both water supplies
• Place a towel or shallow pan, relieve hose pressure, and disconnect the fill hoses from the inlet valve
• Carefully pull out the old screen (needle-nose pliers work well); press the new screen fully and evenly into the valve port
• Reconnect hoses, restore water and power, and check for leaks
• Tip: Many washers have separate hot and cold inlets—inspect both screens and replace as needed

This spline insert is the small splined bushing that fits onto a drive shaft to transfer rotational force between the motor/shaft and the driven part. It restores a secure, slip-free connection for proper appliance operation. What it does:

• Provides a keyed, splined interface between the drive shaft and the driven component to transfer torque
• Prevents slip or loss of drive that can cause the drum/agitator to stop turning
• Worn or damaged splines can cause grinding, slipping, or intermittent movement
• Restoring the insert can eliminate looseness and reduce related noise

• Disconnect power before servicing; follow all safety precautions
• Access and removal often require removing the relevant panel or assembly (drum/agitator area)
• Inspect mating shaft and surrounding components for wear and replace as needed
• Install with correct orientation and fully seat on the splined shaft; test operation after reassembly

This locknut is a small threaded retaining nut used to secure rotating and stationary appliance components, helping keep assemblies tight and stable during operation. It prevents parts from loosening and reduces vibration-related issues. What it does:

• Helps stop wobble, grinding, or part separation caused by a loose connection
• Works with the matching threaded stud, shaft, or fitting for a proper hold

• Disconnect power and follow appliance safety procedures before servicing
• Use the matching thread size and engage threads fully; hand-start before tightening
• Tighten securely without overtightening; use the correct driver or socket for the nut
• Inspect mating threads and replace if damaged
