• Used to restore proper motor positioning when worn, cracked, or bent housing causes rubbing or abnormal sounds

• One motor housing (color/finish depends on selected variant)

• Disconnect power before beginning service; follow all safety warnings for your appliance
• Basic disassembly (cabinet/drum removal) is typically required to access and replace the housing
• Inspect mounting hardware and gaskets; replace any damaged fasteners or seals as needed
• If symptoms persist after replacement (noise, rubbing, excessive vibration), check motor mounts, blower, and alignment

This grille housing assembly replaces the front grille frame to restore appearance and proper airflow around the appliance. The Almond creme finish matches cabinets and trim for a factory-fit look. What it does:

• Replaces a cracked, warped, or discolored front grille housing
• Restores correct airflow and alignment of the lower/front access area
• Helps prevent debris from entering internal components behind the grille
• Returns the appliance to a uniform Almond creme exterior appearance

• One grille housing assembly in Almond creme finish

• Install requires removing the lower access/grille area; keep panels and fasteners organized
• Handle the replacement part gently to avoid scratching the finish
• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning work to avoid injury

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 factory fastener secures components and panels so your appliance stays assembled and operates safely. Use it to replace a missing or damaged screw to restore a tight, rattle-free fit and help prevent loosening during normal use.

• Holds brackets, panels, or trim securely in place
• Helps resolve issues like loose panels, vibration/rattling, or misaligned parts caused by missing/stripped hardware
• Direct-fit replacement for the original fastener used in applicable assemblies
• Restores proper fastening without modifications

• Unplug the appliance and shut off gas or water supplies as applicable before servicing
• Keep track of original screw locations and lengths; replace like-for-like
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading, then tighten snugly without over-torquing
• If the original hole is stripped, address the hole or use the specified repair method before installation

This planetary gear assembly transfers motor motion to the appliance's drive mechanism, restoring smooth rotation and normal operation. It replaces a worn or damaged planetary component to reduce noise and restore consistent drive performance. What it does:

• Transfers motor torque through the gear train to the driven component for proper operation
• Replaces worn or damaged gears that can cause grinding, clunking, or loss of drive
• Helps stop intermittent or failed agitation/spin caused by stripped or broken gear teeth
• Restores correct gear engagement to reduce excessive noise during operation

• One planetary gear assembly

• Disconnect power and water before starting any repair
• Some disassembly of the gearcase or transmission may be required; follow the OEM service manual
• Inspect surrounding seals, bearings, and fasteners; replace any damaged components
• Use proper tools and torque values

This replacement sleeve slips over the appliance shaft to protect mating parts from wear and help restore smooth, quiet operation. It's a simple wear item that prevents metal-on-metal contact and reduces rubbing noise. What it does:

• Protects the shaft or mating surface from wear and abrasion.
• Restores proper fit between rotating parts to reduce noise and vibration.
• Helps stop squeaking, rubbing, or rough rotation that can develop with worn components.
• Extends the service life of adjoining bearings, seals, or bushings when installed correctly.

• Disconnect power and water before starting and pull the appliance away from walls.
• Access may require removing panels or the adjoining component; basic hand tools are typically needed.
• Inspect mating surfaces and replace any damaged bearings, seals, or fasteners for a lasting repair.

This direct-drive gearcase converts the washer motor's power into the agitation and spin motions. Replacing a worn gearcase restores normal drive function so the washer can agitate and spin as intended. What it does

• Transfers motor rotation to the agitator and spin basket for wash and spin cycles
• Worn or damaged gear teeth can cause no agitation or no spin
• Damaged gearcase may produce loud grinding, clunking, or unusual noises during operation
• Failure can cause intermittent drive or loss of drive in one or both cycles

• Disconnect power and water before starting any repair to prevent shock or flooding
• Drain the washer and secure the tub/agitator before removing components
• May require removing the cabinet or access panels and supporting the drum during service

A 10-24 lock nut used to secure threaded fasteners and prevent loosening from vibration. Simple, durable replacement that restores proper fastening where the original nut has worn or failed. What it does:

• Secures shafts, studs, or bolts with 10-24 threads and resists loosening under normal appliance vibration.
• Restores proper tension where a stripped or loose nut causes rattling or parts shifting.
• Helps maintain alignment of panels, brackets, or components that rely on a locked fastener.
• Small hardware solution for common fastening failures—no special part modifications required.

• Disconnect appliance power and water before beginning repairs.
• Use the correct 10-24 threaded fastener and a properly sized wrench or socket to avoid rounding the nut.
• Tighten to a snug fit—do not overtighten or force onto damaged threads.
• Inspect mating threads and replace the bolt/stud if threads are stripped or damaged.

Color: Onyx black

Armature for the electric motor that converts electrical energy into rotation to drive the appliance. Replacing a worn armature can restore motor drive, reduce noise, and help resolve motor-start or power issues. What it does:

• Rotor assembly that creates the rotating magnetic field to turn the motor shaft — symptoms: motor won't start or stalls under load.
• Transfers torque to the motor shaft and works with brushes and the commutator — symptoms: reduced power or weak motor performance.
• Worn or damaged armatures can cause excessive vibration, unusual noise, or visible sparking at the commutator.
• Essential for restoring normal motor operation when the armature is the root cause of motor failure.

• Disconnect power before servicing and follow all safety precautions.
• Replacement typically requires motor removal and disassembly; inspect brushes, commutator, and bearings while servicing.
• Clean and test the commutator and replace brushes if worn to prevent repeat failure.
