The Direct Drive Washer Motor is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines This motor drives the agitation, spinning, and draining processes during the laundry cycles, ensuring clothes come out clean and well spun. 

Causes of a bad Direct Drive Washer Motor can range from wear and tear over time, overheating due to overloading or obstructed movement, and electrical failures like short circuits or blown capacitors. 

Symptoms of a failing Direct Drive Washer Motor include:

• The washing machine not agitating or spinning correctly
• A noticeable decline in the washer's performance
• Unusual noises, such as humming or buzzing, indicating the motor is struggling

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

A cam sleeve that supports and guides the cam on its shaft to keep the cam-driven mechanism moving smoothly. Replacing a worn sleeve helps restore correct alignment and reduces binding or intermittent movement. What it does

• Centers and stabilizes the cam on its shaft for reliable engagement.
• Prevents metal-on-metal wear between the cam and shaft.
• Helps eliminate binding, wobble, or uneven operation caused by a worn sleeve.
• Common symptom of failure: noise, sticking, or irregular movement from the cam-driven mechanism.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair.
• Access typically requires removing the appropriate service panel; follow the model service manual.
• Inspect mating cam and shaft for wear; replace any damaged components.
• Reassemble panels and verify proper operation before returning the appliance to service.

A replacement thrust bearing that supports the washer transmission shaft to reduce axial wear and help the gearbox rotate more smoothly. Use this bearing to address noisy transmission operation and reduce metal-on-metal wear when the original is worn. What it does:

• Supports axial load on the transmission/gearcase shaft to reduce friction and wear
• Helps prevent grinding, scraping, or other metal-on-metal noises from the gearbox
• Can reduce rough or noisy spin and improve agitation when a worn bearing is the cause
• Helps maintain proper alignment of transmission components for smoother operation

• Disconnect power and water supply and drain the washer before beginning any work.
• Replacement requires accessing the agitator/gearcase per the OEM service manual and may involve transmission/gearcase disassembly.
• Inspect nearby seals, fasteners and other bearings while servicing; replace damaged parts to avoid premature failure.

This spring-damper assembly cushions and stabilizes moving components to reduce noise, vibration and abrupt motions. It restores smoother operation and helps prevent wear on related parts. What it does:

• Absorbs shock and controls motion to reduce banging or sudden movement
• Stabilizes moving components for quieter, smoother operation
• Helps prevent accelerated wear on hinges, levers or linkages
• Addresses symptoms like excessive vibration, rattling or irregular movement

• Disconnect power (and water if applicable) before starting any repair
• Handle carefully; springs can be under tension—wear safety glasses and gloves
• Basic hand tools typically required; follow OEM service instructions for alignment
• Inspect and replace other suspension or hinge parts as needed for best results

This inner wash tub replaces the damaged or worn basket that holds clothes during the wash cycle, restoring water containment and proper agitation for effective cleaning. Designed to match OEM fit and function for compatible washers. What it does:

• Replaces the inner wash basket that contains water and clothes during wash and rinse cycles
• Restores proper water sealing and prevents leaks caused by cracks or corrosion in the tub
• Helps resolve symptoms like visible tub damage, water leaks, or abnormal wash performance
• Works with the washer's agitator or pulsator to allow normal drum rotation and agitation

• Disconnect power and water supply before starting; follow lockout/tagout procedures
• Handle carefully to avoid damage to tub finish and sharp edges; wear gloves and eye protection
• Reassemble and test for leaks and proper operation before returning machine to service

This exhaust vent extension provides extra duct length to move dryer or hood exhaust farther from the appliance, improving airflow routing and helping reduce backpressure and lint buildup in short-vent installations. What it does:

• Extends the length of an existing exhaust duct to reach a distant vent outlet
• Helps restore proper ventilation when original ducting is too short
• Reduces restricted airflow that can cause longer dry times or excess lint accumulation
• Works as an inline rigid/semirigid extension piece for exhaust systems

• Disconnect power (and gas for gas dryers) before accessing or modifying exhaust connections
• Remove lint and debris from ducting before installing the extension to ensure clear airflow
• Securely fasten with appropriate clamps or foil tape and maintain a smooth, unobstructed path

This drain tube funnels and directs excess water away from the appliance to the drain path, helping prevent pooling and water damage. It replaces a worn, cracked or clogged tube to restore proper water flow. What it does:

• Carries water from the appliance's drainage area to the drain outlet
• Helps prevent leaks and interior water buildup from a damaged or disconnected tube
• Can resolve symptoms like water pooling under/behind the appliance or intermittent draining
• Ensures proper routing so water flows to the drain instead of into the cabinet

• One drain tube

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Turn off water supply and remove any panels needed to access the tube
• Inspect and replace any worn clamps or fasteners; ensure tube is routed without kinks
• After installation, restore power/water and run a test cycle to ensure there are no leaks
