• Timer knob slipping or not staying in place

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

This plunger guide tube aligns and supports a moving plunger within the washer's mechanism so it travels smoothly and engages reliably. Replacing a worn or cracked guide can restore consistent operation and prevent sticking or misalignment issues.

• Keeps the plunger centered for straight, low-friction movement
• Helps prevent sticking/binding that can stop the mechanism from engaging
• Common symptoms: intermittent or failed actuation, weak or no dispensing/engagement, clicking from a solenoid with no movement
• Visual clues: worn, cracked, or deformed guide tube

• Disconnect power and turn off water supply before servicing.
• Access location varies by model; remove covers or panels to reach the affected dispenser/actuator assembly.
• Note orientation and seating depth; transfer any springs or retainers from the old guide if present.
• The plunger moves freely in the new guide before reassembly and testing.

Size: 90 inches long. To order hose extension use 12001585. To order siphon break use 76660.

This factory replacement screw fastens the specified components in your appliance as shown in the parts diagram. It restores a secure fit and helps eliminate looseness, vibration, and noise when an original fastener is missing, stripped, or corroded.

• Disconnect power and shut off water supply before servicing
• Access the dispenser/flume area by removing the top or control panel per your model
• Note hose routing; transfer and secure clamps; avoid kinks and rub points
• Run a quick fill/rinse to check for leaks at both connections after installation

To order indicator light use WP903115.

Replace a worn rear self-leveling leg to restore a stable, level appliance. This foot supports the back of the cabinet and automatically compensates for floor unevenness to help reduce vibration, rocking, and noise during operation.

• Supports and self-levels the rear of the cabinet to maintain stability on uneven floors
• Helps address wobbling/rocking, excessive vibration, rattling or "walking," and an appliance that won't sit level
• Replaces a rear leg that is missing, cracked, or worn
• Promotes smoother operation by helping the unit sit properly level

• Disconnect power; if applicable, turn off the water supply
• With assistance, carefully tilt the appliance to access the rear base
• Remove the damaged rear leg from its mount and install the new leg, ensuring it seats fully
• Lower the unit, verify level with a bubble level, and adjust front legs as needed for final leveling

This timer is the mechanical cycle controller for select top-load washers. It sequences power to the motor, water inlet valves, and drain pump so each step runs in the correct order and duration for consistent, reliable operation.

• Directs power to advance the washer through fill, wash/agitate, drain, and spin
• Restores proper cycle advancement when the washer stalls or skips steps
• Helps resolve symptoms like stopping mid-cycle or running indefinitely
• Can correct intermittent or erratic cycle timing/advancement issues

• Disconnect power before servicing; access the timer from the control console
• Transfer wires from the old timer to the new one, moving one connection at a time
• Reuse existing mounting hardware and control knob/dial as applicable
• Handle sharp cabinet edges and verify dial alignment before reassembly

This washer timer controls and advances the cycle, sending power to the valve, motor, and pump at the right times. Replace it if the cycle stalls, won't start, or never completes.

• Advances the wash program through fill, agitate, drain, and spin by closing/opening internal contacts
• Directs power to key components at set intervals to keep the cycle moving
• Failure symptoms include a cycle that won't advance, stops mid-cycle, runs indefinitely, or only clicks/hums
• Also prevent the washer from starting a selected cycle

• Unplug the washer before servicing
• Remove the control knob/dial and access the control console to reach the timer
• Transfer wires from the old timer to the new one one-by-one to matching terminals
• Secure the timer, reassemble the console, reinstall the knob/dial, and test

This surface burner valve controls gas flow to a cooktop or range burner for smooth ignition and precise flame adjustment. Replacing a worn valve restores reliable lighting and consistent simmer-to-high control at the knob. What it does:

• Regulates and meters gas flow to a surface burner from Off through all heat settings
• Wear or blockage can cause no ignition, hard-to-turn knob, or poor/unstable flame
• Helps correct burners that won't adjust properly or won't stay lit
• Ensures safer, consistent burner performance when operating correctly

• 1 surface burner valve

• Disconnect power and shut off gas supply before servicing; allow appliance to cool
• Work in a well-ventilated area and follow local codes
• Note knob orientation; transfer any orifice fittings or mounting hardware from the old valve
• After installation, check all connections for leaks using a non-corrosive leak-detection solution

Color: White.
