This replacement sleeve fits over a rotating shaft to reduce friction and protect the mating surface, helping restore smooth operation and reduce noise. Use when a worn sleeve causes rubbing or uneven movement. What it does:

• Acts as a bushing to prevent metal-to-metal contact on a rotating shaft
• Reduces friction and wear on the shaft and surrounding components
• Helps stop rubbing, scraping, or squeaking noises caused by a worn sleeve
• Restores proper alignment for smoother, quieter operation

• Disconnect power (and gas, if applicable) before starting any repair
• Use basic hand tools; no special training required for most installations
• Inspect the shaft and mating surfaces; replace if excessively scored or damaged
• If press-fit, install carefully to avoid damaging the new sleeve; do not use solvents as a substitute for proper fit

This E ring is a small metal retaining clip that secures shafts, pulleys, and other rotating parts to prevent axial movement. It restores correct part positioning so assemblies run smoothly and stay aligned. What it does:

• Acts as a snap/retaining ring to hold components on a shaft or in a groove
• Prevents pulleys, bearings, or spacers from sliding out of place
• Common symptom: loose or shifting pulley, increased wobble, noise, or component disengagement
• Small, inexpensive part whose failure can allow adjacent parts to migrate and cause additional damage

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair
• Use snap-ring pliers or needle-nose pliers and wear eye protection when installing or removing
• Ensure clip seats fully in the shaft groove and that mating surfaces are clean and undamaged
• Replace any damaged mating hardware rather than reusing a deformed clip

This brake spring restores the tensioning force needed for the appliance's brake mechanism so the drum/rotating assembly holds and releases correctly. Replaces a worn or broken brake spring to help restore normal stopping behavior. What it does:

• Provides tension for the brake assembly so the drum or shaft can stop and hold when power is removed
• Commonly replaced when brake action is weak, noisy, or the drum keeps turning after power-off
• Helps prevent uncontrolled rotation that can affect spin/stop cycles or safety
• Simple mechanical part — no electrical connections or calibration needed

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid shock or injury
• Inspect surrounding brake components and mounting points; replace any damaged hardware
• Use proper tools to remove and install the spring — springs are under tension and can snap back

A replacement 3/8-16 nut that secures fasteners and assemblies on compatible Whirlpool appliances. Restores proper fastening so panels, brackets and components stay tight and aligned during normal operation. What it does:

• Fastens and secures bolts, studs or threaded shafts in appliance assemblies.
• Prevents loose connections that can cause rattling, vibration or misalignment.
• Used where a 3/8-16 threaded nut is required for structural or mounting applications.
• Replaces missing, stripped or corroded nuts to restore reliable mechanical connection.

• Disconnect power and follow all appliance safety procedures before servicing.
• Inspect mating threads and remove debris; replace if threads are damaged.
• Thread onto bolt or stud by hand first, then snug with the correct wrench; avoid overtightening.
• Follow the appliance manufacturer's torque and assembly instructions.

This hose coupling connects a flexible appliance hose to the appliance plumbing, restoring a secure water connection and preventing leaks. Ideal when a worn or damaged coupling causes drips or loose hose fit. What it does:

• Provides a secure connection point between an appliance hose and the appliance inlet
• Replaces cracked, broken or corroded couplings that can leak or allow the hose to detach
• Restores proper hose sealing to reduce water drips at the connection
• Compatible with the original inlet connection type and mounting orientation

• Turn off and disconnect appliance power and shut off the water supply before replacing
• Remove the old coupling and clean the mating surfaces; inspect hose and clamps for wear
• Use proper clamps and hand-tighten; avoid over-tightening which can damage fittings

Spring-style hose clamp that secures flexible appliance hoses to fittings, helping keep connections tight to reduce leaks and maintain proper water flow. Use it to replace a worn or damaged clamp and restore a reliable hose seal. What it does:

• Compresses around a flexible hose to lock it onto barbs or fittings
• Helps prevent drips, leaks, and water pooling at hose connections
• Keeps hoses from slipping off during appliance operation
• Useful when a clamp is corroded, stretched, or no longer holds tension

• Disconnect power and shut off water to the appliance before starting any repairs
• Use pliers to compress the clamp for removal and installation; keep hands and face clear when releasing tension
• Inspect the hose and fitting for damage; replace the hose if cracked or excessively worn

This 10-circuit connector housing provides a secure plug-style connection for the appliance wiring harness, restoring reliable electrical contact where the original plastic connector is cracked or melted. It helps ensure circuits stay seated and insulated. What it does:

• Replaces a damaged or cracked 10-circuit plastic connector housing to restore a proper plug connection
• Secures wiring harness terminals to prevent intermittent power or signal loss
• Keeps electrical contacts insulated from vibration and moisture
• Useful when the mating connector body is broken, burned, or otherwise unusable

• One 10-circuit connector housing
