The lid hinge bearing is used for the lid hinges on washers and dryers. When functioning properly, it allows the lid to open and close properly. If this is a problem with the bearing, it could make the lid difficult to move. In some cases, when the lid will not close, it means that the machine will not function correctly. Damaged lid hinge bearings should be replaced as soon as possible.The lid hinge bearings see a lot of work since they are in use whenever the lid of the washer or dryer opens and closes. They could become cracked and broken over time. Replacing the bearings is a relatively simple repair that owners can make on their own.This lid hinge bearing is for use with many models of washers and dryers from Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Roper, Estate, Inglis, Maytag, Admiral, Amana, Crosley, and Magic Chef. This is a genuine OEM replacement part that has been sourced from the manufacturer. The piece is sold individually, so if owners need to replace more than one hinge, they will need to buy multiples.

The Whirlpool spacer is an OEM replacement part responsible for maintaining the proper spacing and alignment between the washer cabinet and the top panel. The spacer provides stability and support to the appliance. It ensures that the top panel is securely attached and evenly distributed, preventing any misalignment or instability during operation.

Causes of a bad spacer can include wear and tear over time, physical damage due to accidental impacts, or deformation from prolonged use under stress. These issues can lead to misalignment and operational inefficiencies in the appliance.

Symptoms of a bad spacer include:

• Misalignment of components
• Unusual noises during operation
• Difficulty in assembling or disassembling parts
• Reduced efficiency of the appliance

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

Sold individually, four are needed to replace all parts. Screw part number WP3390631.

Size: 5 foot long. Rubber fill hose used on most automatic washing machines. Two hoses used per machine.

• Reduces friction and metal-to-metal contact between components
• Helps stabilize shafts/gears to minimize noise and vibration
• Replace if you notice scraping/grinding sounds, wobble, or visible wear on the old ring

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Refer to your model's parts diagram to confirm orientation and stack order with any spacers/washers
• Clean the shaft and mating surfaces; replace any companion parts that show severe wear
• After reassembly, check for smooth rotation and proper end-play before returning to service

Specs: 10-16 x 1/2 inch.

This vacuum break is the washer's water-inlet anti-siphon fitting. It maintains a required air gap so the tub fills properly without drawing used water back into the supply, helping prevent leaks and backflow issues.

• Maintains an air gap at the inlet to prevent backflow/siphoning into household water lines
• Helps ensure consistent, unobstructed water flow into the tub
• Replaces a cracked, clogged, or leaking vacuum break at the fill area
• Common symptoms include leaks from the rear/top during fill, visible cracks, or restricted/noisy fill

• Unplug the appliance and shut off both water supplies before servicing
• Access the fill/inlet area; note hose routing and part orientation
• Remove hose clamps/hoses and the old vacuum break; install the new part and secure clamps
• Restore water and power, then run a fill test and check carefully for leaks

This adapter tube assembly connects sections of the appliance's water line to create a secure, leak-resistant path for water flow. Replace it if the tube is cracked or the connection no longer seals properly to prevent leaks and restore flow.

• Connects water tubing between components within the appliance's water system
• Helps maintain a tight, leak-resistant seal at the joint
• Restores proper water flow when a tube or connector is damaged
• Typical symptoms: water leaking at the connection, reduced or no water flow, visible cracks/kinks, loose fit

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Relieve line pressure and place a towel or pan to catch any residual water
• Note routing and orientation before removal to ensure correct reassembly
• After installation, restore water and check all connections for leaks

This is a replacement power cord that supplies electrical power from a wall outlet to your appliance. A fresh cord helps ensure safe, reliable power delivery when the original is damaged, overheated, or worn.

• Delivers household power to the unit's main electrical connection
• Replace if the cord is cut, cracked, burnt, loose, or intermittently powers the appliance
• Helps resolve issues like no power, tripping breakers, or visible cord damage

• Unplug the appliance and turn off the circuit breaker before starting
• Verify outlet type and cord routing match your original installation
• Transfer any cord clamp/retainer as needed and secure against sharp edges
• Inspect for proper grounding and test operation before returning to service

This retainer ring is a genuine OEM replacement part sourced directly from the manufacturer for use on front load washing machines to hold the boot seal in place. The boot seal is the gasket that seals the washing machine when the door is closed to prevent water from leaking. The retainer ring is located flush against the boot seal and has either a spring clamp or screw clamp that secures it. Over time, this ring may become damaged due to the washing machine's normal use and age. If the ring is not tight, the washing machine could leak when in use. If water is coming from the door, it is a good idea to inspect and replace the retainer ring and possibly the boot as well.Unplug the washing machine to prevent electrocution. Remove the front panel, the detergent dispenser, and the kickplate to access the retainer ring. Locate the clamp on the ring and loosen it. Remove the retainer ring and set it to the side. Inspect the boot and then install the new retainer ring. Tighten the clamp and reassemble the washing machine. This retainer ring is sold as an individual unit. It is designed specifically for washing machines manufactured by Whirlpool.
