• Prevents premature belt wear and misalignment

• One idler pulley

• Disconnect power before starting any repair; the appliance is de-energized
• Basic hand tools required; remove the front or access panel and drum as needed per your model's service instructions
• Inspect the belt and bearing surfaces; replace belt if damaged or glazed
• Do not lubricate the pulley unless the OEM specifically directs it; replace if bearing is noisy or seized

This gasket seals the basket to the center shaft to help prevent leaks and reduce noise from worn or damaged seals. It restores a proper seal between the tub/basket and the drive shaft for reliable operation. What it does:

• Seals the gap between the basket/tub and the center drive shaft to help prevent water from leaking into the motor/tub area
• Helps reduce rubbing noise caused by a worn or torn seal
• Restores a tight fit after seal failure, wear, or damage
• Common symptom: water leakage from the tub area or visible wear around the shaft opening

• Refer to the exploded parts diagram for correct positioning and orientation
• Inspect mating surfaces for damage or residue and clean before installing the new gasket
• Replace only when the appliance is unplugged and water supply is turned off; follow safety procedures for draining and securing the unit
• If other components show wear (shaft seals, basket, or fasteners), replace them as recommended by the OEM

This replacement washer agitator moves clothes through the wash to improve cleaning action and rinse performance. Fits compatible top-load washer tubs and installs in place of a worn or damaged agitator to restore wash motion. What it does:

• Helps move water through fabrics during the wash and rinse cycles
• Restores proper agitation when the original is cracked, stripped, or missing
• Can stop symptoms like clothes not tumbling properly, excessive vibration, or uneven washing

• Disconnect power and water before starting any repair
• Remove fabric softener dispenser or cap and lift out the old agitator
• Secure the new agitator with the supplied screw; tighten to manufacturer torque if specified
• If agitation problems persist after replacement, check the agitator coupling, drive block, and transmission for wear

This locknut is a small threaded retaining nut used to secure rotating and stationary appliance components, helping keep assemblies tight and stable during operation. It prevents parts from loosening and reduces vibration-related issues. What it does:

• Secures shafts, pulleys, or fittings to prevent axial movement
• Keeps assemblies fastened under normal vibration and load
• Helps stop wobble, grinding, or part separation caused by a loose connection
• Works with the matching threaded stud, shaft, or fitting for a proper hold
