This clip is a small retaining fastener used to secure components inside your appliance, keeping parts aligned and in place during operation. Replacing a worn or missing clip helps stop looseness, vibration, and premature wear.

• Holds a designated part firmly to its mating surface
• Maintains proper alignment to reduce rattling and shifting during cycles
• Symptoms of failure: parts that won't stay attached, misalignment, buzzing/rattling noises, or a visibly bent/missing clip
• Restores a secure, factory-style fit

• Disconnect power; turn off water supply before servicing
• Note the original clip position and orientation (a quick photo helps)
• Use needle-nose pliers to release/install; avoid over-bending the clip
• Ensure the component is fully seated and secure before reassembly and testing

This small strainer sits inside the washer's water inlet valve and screens out sand, rust, and sediment from the supply lines. Replacing a clogged or missing screen restores normal fill flow and helps protect the valve.

• Filters debris from incoming hot and cold water before it reaches the valve and tub
• Helps maintain consistent water flow during the fill cycle
• A clogged or damaged screen can cause slow fill, very long fill times, or no fill
• Common causes for replacement include mineral buildup or rust/sediment from supply lines

• Unplug the washer and turn off both water supplies
• Place a towel or shallow pan, relieve hose pressure, and disconnect the fill hoses from the inlet valve
• Carefully pull out the old screen (needle-nose pliers work well); press the new screen fully and evenly into the valve port
• Reconnect hoses, restore water and power, and check for leaks
• Tip: Many washers have separate hot and cold inlets—inspect both screens and replace as needed

This drain hose carries used water away from your appliance during the drain cycle. Replacing a worn or damaged hose helps stop leaks and restores proper draining performance.

• Routes wastewater from the appliance's drain system to the household drain
• Replaces hoses that are cracked, brittle, clogged, or kinked and leaking
• Can help when cycles end with standing water or slow/failed draining
• Helps reduce odors and backflow when installed and routed correctly

• Disconnect power and water supply; allow the appliance to cool before servicing
• Move the unit for access; keep towels or a pan handy to catch residual water
• Transfer and tighten existing clamps/fittings to the new hose; route without kinks and secure per your model's instructions
• Run a short test cycle and check all connections for leaks

Screw: 8-16 x 3/8 inch.

Single unit. Includes foot pad.

This replacement screw fastens trim, panels and small components to restore secure attachment and reduce rattling or movement. Use when a screw is missing, stripped, or damaged to keep parts aligned and operating quietly. What it does:

• Secures panels, brackets and trim to appliance assemblies
• Prevents vibration, rattling and misalignment caused by missing or damaged fasteners
• Replaces lost or stripped screws that can allow gaps or loose parts
• Helps maintain safe, stable operation by keeping components properly fastened

• Disconnect power (and water if applicable) before accessing interior panels
• Use the proper screwdriver or driver bit to avoid stripping the head
• Align parts before tightening and tighten until snug—do not overtighten
• Replace only with the correct OEM part to ensure proper fit and function

This spring support secures a suspension spring to the washer's frame, helping keep the tub stable during wash and spin. Replacing a damaged support restores proper balance control to reduce vibration and banging. What it does:

• Anchors a suspension/tub spring to the cabinet or base
• Helps control tub movement and maintain alignment during spin
• Failure can cause excessive vibration, banging, off-balance shutdowns, or a leaning tub
• Visible cracks, bent tabs, or a detached spring indicate the support needs replacement

• 1 spring support

• Disconnect power and turn off water before servicing
• Support the tub and carefully relieve spring tension before removing the old support
• Transfer the spring to the new support and install in the original location/orientation
• Wear gloves and eye protection; springs are under tension

Note: This part is one screw, order quantity needed.

This tub displacement switch monitors water level/pressure to help the washer detect tub fill and balance, reducing overfill and load sensing errors. It replaces a worn or faulty unit to restore reliable fill and balance sensing. What it does:

• Senses tub water displacement/pressure changes so the washer can detect correct fill and load balance
• Helps prevent overfilling and supports proper spin cycles by reporting tub condition to the control
• Commonly replaced when washer overfills, won't start spin, or shows erratic fill behavior

• Disconnect power before accessing internal components to avoid shock
• Mounts to the washer chassis with electrical connector and vacuum/pressure hose; reuse existing hose if undamaged
• Verify hose and fittings are intact and free of blockages before installation

This guard hose is a molded protective sleeve that shields appliance hoses from abrasion and wear, helping keep water lines routed safely and reducing the risk of chafing-related leaks. What it does:

• Protects a water or drain hose from rubbing, abrasion and sharp edges
• Helps maintain proper hose routing to reduce kinks and stress at fittings
• Minimizes wear that can lead to leaking or premature hose failure
• Supports a more reliable seal by reducing hose movement at connection points

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before beginning work
• Slide guard over the hose as shown in the OEM diagram
• Use basic hand tools; avoid sharp bending or cutting the guard during install
