• A worn, distorted, or missing spacer can contribute to scraping or grinding noises and excess play
• Often replaced during service of related drive components to restore correct stack order

• Disconnect power before servicing; shut off water if moving the appliance
• Access and procedure vary by model—refer to your unit's service manual or parts diagram for the correct stack order
• Support the appliance if working from below; remove belt/pulley or related parts as required
• Reassemble in the exact order and orientation; verify free rotation before test-running

This clutch spring cap retains and protects the clutch spring in your washer's drive/clutch assembly, maintaining proper tension. Replacing a worn or missing cap helps the clutch engage smoothly and reduces slipping and noise during spin.

• Secures the clutch spring within the clutch assembly to prevent movement or dislodging
• Maintains correct spring preload for consistent clutch engagement
• Can help reduce clutch slip that appears as weak/no spin, slow spin ramp-up, or intermittent spinning
• Common signs of trouble: rattling or scraping near the drive, burning smell, or a visibly damaged/missing cap

• Unplug the appliance and shut off water before servicing
• Access the clutch per your model's service procedure; removing the gearcase/transmission and clutch may be required
• Carefully relieve spring tension and note the orientation of the spring and cap before removal
• Inspect the spring, clutch lining, and related hardware; replace any worn components during reassembly

Straight knurled pin that secures knobs or small components to a shaft for a tight, slip-resistant fit. Replaces a worn or missing pin to stop loose, wobbly, or spinning knobs and restore reliable engagement. What it does:

• Secures knobs, dials or small parts to control shafts by providing a press-fit, knurled surface.
• Prevents wobble, slipping, or spinning of control knobs that won't turn with the shaft.
• Common service symptom: knob spins freely or fails to engage controls.
• Used where a small metal pin is required to lock a component onto a splined or smooth shaft.

• Disconnect power and unplug the appliance before servicing.
• Remove the knob or access panel to reach the shaft; pin is typically press-fit.
• Removal/installation may require needle-nose pliers, a small punch, or a bench press; protect surrounding parts from damage.
• Keep small parts away from children and follow appliance safety guidelines; replace mating hardware if the shaft or hole is damaged.

This plate-clutch transfers torque from the washer transmission to the tub so the machine can engage and maintain spin cycles. Replacing a worn plate-clutch helps restore reliable spin performance and reduce slipping or shuddering. What it does:

• Engages the transmission to allow the tub/agitation assembly to spin.
• Helps transfer rotational force for normal spin speeds and load control.
• Commonly replaced when the washer slips out of spin, spins slowly, or shudders during the spin cycle.
• Supports proper clutch engagement to prevent intermittent spin failures.

• Disconnect power and water before beginning any repair.
• Access typically requires removing the washer cabinet and/or agitator; basic hand tools are usually sufficient.
• Inspect surrounding components (drive belt, transmission, clutch housing) for wear while replacing this part.
