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.

This mechanical washer timer sequences and advances the machine through fill, wash/agitate, drain, and spin. Replacing a worn timer restores reliable cycle progression when the dial stalls, skips steps, or the washer won't start or finish cycles.

• Routes power to the motor, drain pump, and inlet valves at the correct times
• Advances the selected program using internal cams and switch contacts
• Common symptoms: cycle won't advance or stops mid-cycle; timer knob doesn't move or only advances by hand
• Also cause intermittent no-start or incorrect/agitation spin timing

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Access timer from the control console; remove the knob/dial and mounting screws or tabs
• Transfer wires one at a time from the old timer to the new (take a photo for reference)
• Reinstall, ensure secure mounting, and test for proper cycle advancement

This balance ring mounts on the top of the washer's spin basket. Its sealed, liquid-filled chamber shifts weight to counterbalance uneven loads so the tub spins smoothly, reducing vibration, noise, and stress on other components. What it does:

• Uses internal fluid to counterbalance heavy or uneven loads during spin
• Helps minimize vibration, shaking, and thumping noises
• Reduces washer movement or "walking" during spin
• Common failure symptoms: excessive vibration/noise, frequent out-of-balance loads, or visible cracks/leaks at the ring

• 1 balance ring assembly

• Disconnect power and water; wear gloves and use proper safety precautions
• Access the ring by removing the cabinet/top and inner basket (procedure varies by model)
• Remove the old ring; seat the new ring evenly on the basket rim—do not puncture the sealed chamber
• Reassemble, level the washer, and run a test spin to ensure smooth operation

This washer timer controls the sequence and length of wash cycles. Replacing a failed timer restores proper cycle advancement so the machine fills, agitates, drains, and spins at the correct times.

• Sequences fill, wash, rinse, drain, and spin operations
• Routes power to water inlet valves, drive motor, and drain pump at the proper times
• Advances and completes the selected cycle
• Failure may cause cycle not advancing or stalling, no agitate/spin, won't start, or a dial that doesn't move or advances intermittently

• Disconnect power; turn off water supply for safety
• Open the control console; remove the timer knob/retainer and mounting screws as needed
• Move wires to the new timer one at a time (or photograph wiring for reference)
• Mount the new timer, reassemble the console, restore power, and run a test cycle
