This drain hose routes water from the drain pump out of the appliance during the drain cycle. Replacing a worn hose helps the unit empty properly and reduces the risk of leaks or water damage. What it does:

• Carries wastewater from the pump outlet to the household drain path
• Provides a sealed flow path to help prevent leaks and backflow
• Replace if cracked, brittle, swollen, kinked, or internally clogged
• Help resolve symptoms like standing water, slow/no drain, water on the floor, or a "long drain" error

• 1 drain hose

• Unplug the appliance and turn off water supply before service
• Expect residual water; use towels or a shallow pan
• Release and reinstall hose clamps securely; ensure full seating on fittings
• Route to avoid kinks or sharp bends; run a test drain and check for leaks

Size: 8 foot long. This external washer drain hose is needed when there is more distance between the washer and the drain. Note: comes with 1.5" diameter clamp but hose is 1.25" in diameter; therefore you may need to order the 1.25" diameter clamp separately: WP356138

This is the washer's water level pressure switch. It senses the tub's water level and tells the control when to start/stop filling and when to advance the cycle. Replacing a failing switch restores accurate fill levels and reliable cycle progression. What it does:

• Monitors tub water level via air pressure through the attached hose
• Opens/closes the inlet valve circuit to stop or start water fill
• Signals the timer/control to advance to wash, rinse, and spin at the correct level
• Common failure symptoms: overfilling or won't stop filling, won't fill, cycle won't advance, or won't agitate/spin

• 1 water level pressure switch

• Disconnect power and shut off water before servicing
• Lift/remove the control console to access the switch
• Label and transfer wires; move the pressure (air dome) hose to the new switch and ensure a snug, unkinked connection
• Inspect the hose for cracks, kinks, blockages, or water inside; reassemble and run a test fill to operation

Includes drive tube spacer, "T" bearing and both shaft seals.

This adjustable buzzer kit replaces a failed or noisy mini buzzer to restore audible alerts for cycles, timers and notifications. Compact design lets the appliance signal you reliably when cycles finish or need attention. What it does:

• Produces audible tones for cycle end, timers and other appliance notifications
• Replaces buzzers that are silent, intermittent, weak or emitting erratic beeps
• Helps you hear and identify completed cycles and timed alerts
• Small, mountable unit that fits behind the control panel and connects to the control board

• One adjustable buzzer kit

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid shock risk
• Access may require removing the control panel; keep fasteners organized for reassembly
• Disconnect the buzzer wiring harness or connector before removing the old unit; connect the new buzzer the same way
• Test buzzer function with power restored before fully reassembling

This brake release cam works with the washer's brake assembly to disengage the brake during spin and re-engage it at stop. Replacing a worn cam restores smooth basket spin and reduces squeal or grinding at spin transitions.

• Disengages the brake so the basket can spin; helps reapply the brake as the cycle ends
• Supports smooth starts and stops of the spin cycle
• Worn or damaged cams can cause no spin or intermittent spin
• Common symptoms include loud squeal/grinding at start/stop or a burning odor near the brake area

• Disconnect power (and water supply, if moving the washer) before service
• Access the brake/basket drive area; the brake spring is under tension—use caution and eye protection
• Note orientation of parts before removal; seat the new cam correctly
• After reassembly, run an empty spin test to verify operation

Used from harness to top.

This small spring-tension retainer secures a part, bracket, or panel on the appliance. Replacing a worn or missing clip restores a tight fit, reduces rattles, and keeps the assembly correctly positioned during normal operation.

• Provides spring tension to hold mating parts, brackets, or panels in place
• Helps prevent movement and vibration that can cause noise or misalignment
• Common failure signs: loose or wobbly component, rattling, missing/damaged clip, or a part that won't stay seated

• Disconnect power (and gas/water if applicable) before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves and eye protection
• Support the component while releasing/installing the clip; needle-nose pliers or a flat tool can help
• Note clip orientation and reinstall in the same position; do not over-bend—replace if the clip has lost tension or is corroded
