This agitator mover is the upper auger section of a dual-action agitator. It ratchets in one direction to drive clothes downward for proper turnover, helping restore effective wash action when the original mover is worn or damaged. What it does:

• Creates the one-way, ratcheting motion of the agitator's upper section
• Helps circulate and roll laundry downward for thorough turnover
• Common symptoms of failure: weak agitation, top auger not advancing, clicking/slipping sounds, or visible cracks/stripped splines
• Needed after damage from overloading or long-term wear

• 1 agitator mover (upper auger)

• Disconnect power and turn off water before servicing
• Remove the fabric softener dispenser and agitator cap; take out the center retainer/bolt to access the mover
• Lift off the old mover and seat the new mover fully on the agitator
• Reinstall the retainer/bolt and cap; verify smooth ratcheting action before use

This radiation heater is the element that delivers direct radiant heat for the microwave's grill/browning feature. Replacing a failed heater restores proper grilling performance and helps foods brown and crisp during grill or combination-cook settings. What it does:

• Supplies radiant heat for grill/browning and combo-cook modes
• Typically mounted at the top of the cavity to radiate heat downward
• Common failure symptoms: no heat in grill mode, element does not glow, poor or uneven browning
• Visual clues can include cracks, blistering, or burnt spots on the heater

• 1 radiation heater element

• Disconnect power before servicing; microwaves contain high-voltage components that can retain a charge even when unplugged
• Access may require removing the outer case and interior shroud; beware of sharp metal edges
• Note wire positions before removal; route leads away from hot or moving parts during reassembly
• Verify secure mounts and connections before testing the grill function

This Cover Assembly, Poise is the trim piece that snaps over the hinge/closer area, shielding the mechanism and wiring while giving your appliance a clean, finished look. Replace a cracked or missing cover to restore proper protection and appearance.

• Inspect mating cam and shaft for wear; replace any damaged components.
• Reassemble panels and verify proper operation before returning the appliance to service.

A replacement thrust bearing that supports the washer transmission shaft to reduce axial wear and help the gearbox rotate more smoothly. Use this bearing to address noisy transmission operation and reduce metal-on-metal wear when the original is worn. What it does:

• Supports axial load on the transmission/gearcase shaft to reduce friction and wear
• Helps prevent grinding, scraping, or other metal-on-metal noises from the gearbox
• Can reduce rough or noisy spin and improve agitation when a worn bearing is the cause
• Helps maintain proper alignment of transmission components for smoother operation

• Disconnect power and water supply and drain the washer before beginning any work.
• Replacement requires accessing the agitator/gearcase per the OEM service manual and may involve transmission/gearcase disassembly.
• Inspect nearby seals, fasteners and other bearings while servicing; replace damaged parts to avoid premature failure.

This lint duct seal cushions and seals the dryer lint duct to help direct airflow through the exhaust path and reduce leaks. Replacing a worn seal improves drying efficiency and helps prevent lint escape into the cabinet. What it does:

• Seals the lint duct connection to maintain proper exhaust airflow and reduce air leakage
• Helps keep lint contained in the duct pathway to reduce buildup inside the cabinet
• Can reduce unusual airflow-related noise or vibration caused by a deteriorated seal
• Supports consistent drying performance when the original seal is cracked, torn, or compressed

• Disconnect power to the dryer before beginning any work; follow all electrical safety precautions
• Access may require removing the dryer front or top panel depending on model—refer to your model's service instructions
• Remove the old seal and clean mating surfaces before installing the new seal for a secure fit
• After installation, inspect venting and run a short test cycle to ensure proper airflow and fit

This water level pressure switch senses tub fill height and tells the washer when to stop filling—helping prevent overfilling and ensuring correct wash cycles. Replaces a failed or intermittent level switch for proper water sensing. What it does:

• Detects water level via an air pressure line and signals the control board to stop or continue filling
• Restores proper fill and drain logic when the washer overfills, underfills, or stops mid-cycle
• Commonly replaces switches that cause erratic fill behavior, long fill times, or no fill
• Works as the electronic input for the machine to choose correct cycle water amounts

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid shock or machine damage
• Handle gently; avoid damaging terminals or the attached air hose
• Confirm air hose is properly seated and free of kinks or blockages during reassembly

This spring-damper assembly cushions and stabilizes moving components to reduce noise, vibration and abrupt motions. It restores smoother operation and helps prevent wear on related parts. What it does:

• Absorbs shock and controls motion to reduce banging or sudden movement
• Stabilizes moving components for quieter, smoother operation
• Helps prevent accelerated wear on hinges, levers or linkages
• Addresses symptoms like excessive vibration, rattling or irregular movement

• Disconnect power (and water if applicable) before starting any repair
• Handle carefully; springs can be under tension—wear safety glasses and gloves
• Basic hand tools typically required; follow OEM service instructions for alignment
• Inspect and replace other suspension or hinge parts as needed for best results

A Tap-Tite binding-head screw used to fasten appliance panels and components where a self-tapping metal thread is required. Replaces missing or damaged fasteners to restore secure assembly and reduce vibration or rattling. What it does:

• Creates its own mating thread in thin sheet metal for a secure hold without a nut.
• Holds panels, brackets, and trim in place to prevent looseness or movement.
• Commonly used where stripped, missing, or broken screws cause rattling, misalignment, or parts that won't stay attached.
• Compatible with standard screwdrivers or nut drivers sized to the binding-head.

• Disconnect power and unplug the appliance before working on it.
• Use the correct driver bit to avoid cam-out or head damage.
• Start straight and apply steady pressure; avoid overtightening to prevent stripping the formed threads.
• If the original hole is badly damaged, assess for repair or use of a larger fastener as needed.

This inner wash tub replaces the damaged or worn basket that holds clothes during the wash cycle, restoring water containment and proper agitation for effective cleaning. Designed to match OEM fit and function for compatible washers. What it does:

• Replaces the inner wash basket that contains water and clothes during wash and rinse cycles
• Restores proper water sealing and prevents leaks caused by cracks or corrosion in the tub
• Helps resolve symptoms like visible tub damage, water leaks, or abnormal wash performance
• Works with the washer's agitator or pulsator to allow normal drum rotation and agitation
