A replacement mounting screw used to secure appliance panels and components. This genuine-style fastener restores proper fit and prevents loose or rattling parts for many Whirlpool appliances. What it does:

• Fastens panels, trim, brackets, or components to the appliance frame
• Restores secure attachment when original screw is missing, stripped, or damaged
• Helps eliminate rattling, vibration noise, and loose-fitting parts
• Matches OEM fit and function when the correct part number is used

• Disconnect power (and water, if applicable) before servicing the appliance.
• Use the correct screwdriver or driver bit to avoid stripping the head; do not overtighten.
• Replace only with the exact part number to ensure correct fit; keep removed hardware organized for reassembly.

This electrical terminal connects a wire to a matching male/female connector on the appliance, restoring a secure circuit connection and helping prevent intermittent power or signal loss. Use when a damaged or corroded terminal causes poor contact. What it does:

• Provides a secure electrical connection between a wire and the appliance wiring harness or component
• Replaces bent, corroded, or loose terminals that can cause intermittent operation or no power to a component
• Restores reliable contact to prevent arcing and heat buildup at the connection
• Works with compatible wire gauges and mating connectors to maintain circuit continuity

• Disconnect power to the appliance before inspecting or replacing terminals to avoid shock or injury
• Verify wire routing and match the terminal orientation before crimping or installing
• Use proper crimping or soldering techniques and the correct-size terminal for the wire gauge
• Inspect mating connectors and replace any that are damaged or corroded for a long-lasting repair

This poly-V motor pulley transfers power from the motor to the appliance drive belt, restoring proper belt tracking and rotation. Replaces a worn or damaged pulley to reduce belt slipping and restore reliable operation. What it does:

• Guides the poly-V (serpentine) drive belt for proper alignment and tension
• Replaces worn, cracked or scored pulley surfaces that cause belt slippage
• Helps stop squealing or grinding noises caused by a damaged pulley
• Restores consistent drum or agitator rotation when pulley wear is the root cause

• Disconnect power (unplug appliance or shut off breaker) before starting any repair
• Inspect the belt and surrounding components; replace the belt if it shows wear or damage
• Ensure pulley seats fully on the motor shaft and that belt is routed per the appliance's belt path

This push-in plug button is a small replacement cap that covers and seals an unused opening or socket on compatible appliances, keeping the area clean and helping prevent debris and moisture entry. What it does:

• Covers an unused plug hole or access port to block dust, dirt, and moisture.
• Provides a finished appearance by hiding raw openings in panels or control housings.
• Helps keep internal components protected from contaminants that can affect operation.
• Snaps into place for a secure fit without adhesives.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing panels or openings.
• Typically installs by pressing into the opening until it snaps flush; no special tools required.
• Verify correct fit and orientation before final reassembly.
• If panel damage is present or the button does not seat securely, inspect mating opening or surrounding clips.
