Rubber grommet for motor mount stud.

This 1-1/8 in wire retaining ring locks into a groove to secure components in place. It helps prevent parts from sliding off a shaft or shifting out of position so assemblies stay aligned and operate reliably.

• Holds components on a shaft or within a groove to prevent axial movement
• Maintains alignment of related parts in the assembly
• Common failure signs: ring is bent, missing, or won't stay seated
• Symptoms include loose or wobbly parts and rattling during operation

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Wear eye protection—retaining rings can spring free during removal
• Use appropriate snap-ring pliers or small picks to remove/install
• Ensure the ring is fully seated in the groove before reassembly and use

This thrust ring is a small spacer that controls end-play on a shaft or gear, keeping parts aligned and reducing friction. Replacing a worn ring restores smoother, quieter operation and helps prevent premature wear in the assembly.

• Maintains axial spacing and limits end-play in rotating assemblies
• 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

This tub ring mounts to the top of the washer's outer tub to act as a splash guard and cover. Replacing a cracked or loose ring helps contain wash water and helps prevent leaks or debris from the top. What it does:

• Forms the upper splash guard around the outer tub to keep water contained during wash and spin
• Serves as the top cover at the tub opening, locking in with tabs/clips
• Damage (cracks, broken tabs) may lead to leaks from the top, rattling, or a loose ring
• Visible wear can leave plastic fragments in the basket or around the tub opening

• 1 tub ring

• Disconnect power and turn off water supplies before servicing
• Lift or remove the top/console per model design to access the tub opening; support the lid
• Release the locking tabs/clips and remove the old ring; clean the tub lip
• Align and press the new ring evenly until all tabs fully engage; reassemble and test

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.

This motor retainer secures the motor to its mounting point, keeping the assembly tight and aligned. Replace a worn or broken retainer to cut vibration and noise and to protect nearby seals, wiring, and components. What it does:

• Holds the motor firmly in place within the assembly
• Maintains alignment for smooth, quiet operation
• Supports sealing surfaces and connections; on water-bearing assemblies, help prevent leaks
• Replace if you notice a loose or rattling motor, new vibration/noise, or signs of movement or leakage at the motor

• Includes 1 motor retainer.

• Disconnect power; turn off water supply.
• Access the motor area and support the motor before removing the old retainer.
• Inspect mating parts and seals; replace any damaged components.
• Fully seat the motor and install the new retainer securely; test for abnormal noise or leaks.

This anti-rattle screw secures panels or brackets to prevent vibration noise in compatible appliances. Replacing a missing or stripped screw restores a tight fit and helps keep the cabinet and assemblies stable and quiet.

• Secures brackets, ducts, or panels to reduce buzzing and rattling during operation
• Replaces a lost, worn, or damaged anti-rattle fastener
• Helps maintain proper alignment and prevents vibration-related wear
• Typical symptoms include persistent rattling, a loose panel, or hardware found inside the cabinet

• Disconnect power before servicing; for gas appliances, shut off the gas supply
• Access the mounting point and remove the loose or damaged screw
• Start the new screw by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten snugly without overtightening
• Repair or replace the bracket/clip before reassembly

This screw and washer is an OEM replacement part used for Whirlpool washers. It is used to secure the lid switch. Each screw is sold individually. The screw measures approximately 1 inch.

This hose clamp secures a hose connection to prevent leaks and keep your appliance running smoothly. It provides a tight, reliable hold on the hose fitting so water or air stays contained during operation.

• Tightens around a hose and fitting to maintain a secure seal
• Helps stop drips, seepage, or loose connections
• Common fix when you see moisture around a hose joint
• Useful if a clamp is rusted, stretched, or no longer holding tension

• Unplug power and shut off water (if applicable) before servicing
• Note clamp position/orientation before removal
• Use appropriate screwdriver or nut driver to tighten evenly
• Do not overtighten—ensure a snug, leak-free seal without damaging the hose

This agitator drive shaft sits inside the washer's gearcase and transfers motion to the agitator. Replacing a worn or stripped shaft restores firm engagement and reliable wash action while helping reduce slip and grinding during agitation.

• Transfers oscillating motion from the transmission to the agitator
• Provides the splined interface that engages the agitator/coupler
• Common symptoms include no agitation, intermittent/slipping agitation, or grinding/clicking from the gearcase
• Visible wear, rounded splines, or a bent shaft can lead to a loose or non-moving agitator

• Disconnect power and water; use proper PPE
• Requires removing the cabinet and gearcase; drain and reseal the gearcase per service procedures
• Keep gears, spacers, and clips in order; reassemble in the original orientation
• Inspect mating parts (agitator coupler/splines, drive block, seals) and replace if worn
