This planetary gear assembly drives the washer's agitator/spin mechanism to transfer motor motion into drum movement, restoring smooth agitation and spin action. Designed to fit as the washer's internal gearing component for reliable operation. What it does:

• Converts motor rotation into the agitator/drum motion for effective washing and spinning
• Replaces worn or damaged gears that can cause noisy operation or grinding sounds
• Helps correct slow, intermittent, or no-agitation and no-spin symptoms when gearbox failure is present
• Works as the internal gearset that mates with the transmission/agitator components

• One planetary gear assembly

• Disconnect power and water before beginning any repair
• Requires partial disassembly of the washer cabinet and access to the transmission/agitator area
• Inspect related parts (agitator, drive coupling, transmission) for wear and replace as needed

• If symptoms persist after replacement (noise, rubbing, excessive vibration), check motor mounts, blower, and alignment

This white hub cover replaces a cracked or missing wash-tub hub cap to restore the washer's finished appearance and protect the hub hardware from debris. It snaps into place for a clean center finish. What it does:

• Covers the center hub and fastener to prevent dirt buildup and reduce corrosion risk
• Restores the washer's cosmetic appearance when the original cap is cracked or missing
• Helps prevent items from catching on the exposed hub during load rotation
• Common symptom: visible broken or missing center cap, exposed bolt or hub

• One white hub cover

• Disconnect power to the appliance before attempting any repair
• This part typically snaps onto the hub; inspect the hub and surrounding components for damage and replace other parts as needed
• Use only the exact replacement part number to ensure proper fit

This cabinet base is the lower support panel that mounts under the appliance to protect internal components and help stabilize the unit. It provides a finished look while covering hookups and wiring at the bottom. What it does:

• Covers and protects the appliance's lower components from debris and accidental contact.
• Helps stabilize the appliance and maintain proper alignment with the floor.
• Prevents direct access to wiring, vents, or drains located at the base.
• Visible signs it's needed: cracked, dented, missing, or loose cabinet base; bottom panel gaps exposing components.

• One cabinet base panel.

• Disconnect power (and water, if applicable) before beginning any work.
• Use two people for removal/installation to avoid damage and injury.
• Remove any kickplate or access panels, then unfasten mounting screws and retainers.
• Align base, secure fasteners, and ensure appliance sits level before returning to service.

This Trim Band is the outer-facing trim piece that restores the finished edge and appearance of the appliance door or opening. It replaces bent, cracked, or missing trim to help the appliance look and seal properly. What it does:

• Covers and protects the outer edge of the door/opening for a finished look
• Restores proper alignment where bent or damaged trim prevents a snug fit
• Helps prevent dirt and moisture intrusion at the door edge
• Addresses visual damage such as dents, cracks, or peeling finish

• One Trim Band as shown

• Disconnect power (and gas if applicable) before starting any repair
• Handle edges carefully—trim parts can be sharp
• Use basic hand tools; for detailed instructions

This bearing bracket assembly mounts to the appliance frame and supports a moving mechanism so it slides or pivots smoothly. Replacing a worn bracket restores proper alignment and motion, reducing friction, noise, sticking, and uneven travel.

• Provides a fixed mounting point with an integrated bearing surface for smooth movement
• Keeps the attached component aligned to prevent wobble, binding, and scraping
• Wear or damage can cause rough travel, sticking, squeaking, or sagging
• Cracks, deformation, or a loose fit are common signs the bracket needs replacement

• Disconnect power (and shut off gas, if applicable) and allow the appliance to cool before servicing
• Note the original bracket's location and orientation before removal
• Save and reuse the existing mounting screws/clips
• After installation, operate the mechanism to ensure smooth, unobstructed travel

This spring-style roll pin secures mating parts on a shaft or linkage. It keeps components tightly aligned so gears, levers, or hubs stay in place during operation, helping prevent looseness, slipping, and noise.

• Expands inside aligned holes to lock components together on a shaft or hub
• Helps maintain alignment and transmit torque in rotating or linkage assemblies
• Common failure signs: wobble, rattling, parts shifting out of place, or intermittent operation
• Replace if the original pin is bent, cracked, sheared, missing, or no longer holds a tight fit

• Disconnect power and work on a stable surface with the appliance cool
• Support the assembly; use a correctly sized roll-pin punch and light hammer taps to drive the old pin out
• Align holes carefully and press/tap the new pin in flush; do not enlarge the hole
• Wear eye protection and avoid striking cast or plastic parts directly

This threaded nut is a genuine fastener used to secure appliance components and restore proper attachment. It replaces worn or missing hardware to stop loose parts and help the appliance function safely. What it does:

• Secures panels, brackets, and assemblies to prevent rattling or movement
