The Direct Drive Washer Motor is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines This motor drives the agitation, spinning, and draining processes during the laundry cycles, ensuring clothes come out clean and well spun. 

Causes of a bad Direct Drive Washer Motor can range from wear and tear over time, overheating due to overloading or obstructed movement, and electrical failures like short circuits or blown capacitors. 

Symptoms of a failing Direct Drive Washer Motor include:

• The washing machine not agitating or spinning correctly
• A noticeable decline in the washer's performance
• Unusual noises, such as humming or buzzing, indicating the motor is struggling

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

A cam sleeve that supports and guides the cam on its shaft to keep the cam-driven mechanism moving smoothly. Replacing a worn sleeve helps restore correct alignment and reduces binding or intermittent movement. What it does

• Centers and stabilizes the cam on its shaft for reliable engagement.
• Prevents metal-on-metal wear between the cam and shaft.
• Helps eliminate binding, wobble, or uneven operation caused by a worn sleeve.
• Common symptom of failure: noise, sticking, or irregular movement from the cam-driven mechanism.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair.
• Access typically requires removing the appropriate service panel; follow the model service manual.
• 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 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

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

• Disconnect power and water supply before starting; follow lockout/tagout procedures
• Handle carefully to avoid damage to tub finish and sharp edges; wear gloves and eye protection
• Reassemble and test for leaks and proper operation before returning machine to service

Almond

This control knob replaces a worn or broken stove/oven control knob and restores clear, safe temperature and function selection. The biscuit-colored knob matches original styling for a clean, finished look. What it does:

• Fits onto the appliance control shaft to allow manual selection of settings and temperatures.
• Replaces cracked, stripped, loose, or missing knobs that are hard to turn or won't stay set.
• Restores tactile feedback for accurate control of burners/oven functions.
• Helps prevent accidental setting changes by providing a secure grip.

• One biscuit-colored control knob.

• Remove power to the appliance before replacing controls to avoid electrical or burn hazards.
• Pull off the old knob (or lift release clip if present) and align the new knob on the splined shaft; press firmly until seated.
• If the knob feels loose or doesn't engage, don't force—check shaft condition.

A replacement mounting screw to secure appliance panels and components so parts stay properly fastened during normal use. Small but essential hardware for stable, rattle-free operation and reliable repairs. What it does:

• Fastens panels, brackets or components to the appliance chassis
• Prevents loose panels, vibration noise, or parts shifting during operation
• Used when original screw is lost, damaged, or stripped
• Restores proper fit and alignment after disassembly for service

• Disconnect power and water before starting any repair
• Use the correct screw type and length; do not force or substitute oversized fasteners
• Tighten until snug—avoid overtightening to prevent stripped threads or cracked parts
• Keep small parts away from children and pets

This exhaust vent extension provides extra duct length to move dryer or hood exhaust farther from the appliance, improving airflow routing and helping reduce backpressure and lint buildup in short-vent installations. What it does:

• Extends the length of an existing exhaust duct to reach a distant vent outlet
• Helps restore proper ventilation when original ducting is too short
• Reduces restricted airflow that can cause longer dry times or excess lint accumulation
• Works as an inline rigid/semirigid extension piece for exhaust systems

• Disconnect power (and gas for gas dryers) before accessing or modifying exhaust connections
• Remove lint and debris from ducting before installing the extension to ensure clear airflow
• Securely fasten with appropriate clamps or foil tape and maintain a smooth, unobstructed path
