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.

This balance ring mounts on the top of the washer's spin basket. Its sealed, liquid-filled chamber shifts weight to counterbalance uneven loads so the tub spins smoothly, reducing vibration, noise, and stress on other components. What it does:

• Uses internal fluid to counterbalance heavy or uneven loads during spin
• Helps minimize vibration, shaking, and thumping noises
• Reduces washer movement or "walking" during spin
• Common failure symptoms: excessive vibration/noise, frequent out-of-balance loads, or visible cracks/leaks at the ring

• 1 balance ring assembly

• Disconnect power and water; wear gloves and use proper safety precautions
• Access the ring by removing the cabinet/top and inner basket (procedure varies by model)
• Remove the old ring; seat the new ring evenly on the basket rim—do not puncture the sealed chamber
• Reassemble, level the washer, and run a test spin to ensure smooth operation

This small clamping nut secures a mating clamp or bracket so the connected component stays firmly in place. Replacing a worn, stripped, or missing nut restores a solid hold and helps prevent looseness or leaks around the secured area.

• Secures a clamp or bracket to its mounting point
• Restores proper clamping force when the original nut is stripped or missing
• Common signs: loose clamp, rattling/vibration, clamp won't tighten, minor leaks where the clamp is used
• Durable hardware replacement to maintain stable, reliable assemblies

• Disconnect power and shut off water/gas to the appliance before service
• Note clamp/bracket orientation before removal for correct reassembly
• Start threads by hand to prevent cross-threading; then tighten with the appropriate tool
• Do not overtighten—snug just enough to securely clamp the component
