Motor plate isolator.

This motor isolator is a rubber mounting that cushions and secures the washer motor, reducing vibration and noise during spin cycles and helping protect the motor and chassis from premature wear. What it does:

• Cushions the motor to reduce vibration and minimize rattle and noise during operation
• Keeps the motor properly positioned to prevent rubbing or misalignment
• Helps protect motor and surrounding components from shock and movement
• Common symptom linkage: excessive vibration, loud noise during spin, or visible motor shifting

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any work.
• This part mounts between the motor and chassis; access typically requires tilting or removing the washer cabinet or accessing the underside.
• Inspect adjacent mounts and fasteners; replace any worn hardware and use the exact OEM part for proper fit.

This cabinet top clip is a small plastic retainer that secures the appliance's top/cabinet to the chassis, keeping the cabinet aligned and preventing movement or rattling. It restores a flush fit between the cabinet and body. What it does:

• Secures the top/cabinet panel to the appliance frame so the cabinet stays in place
• Prevents the cabinet from shifting, vibrating, or sitting unevenly
• Helps stop gaps that can let dirt or moisture into cabinet seams
• Common symptom: loose, rattling, or misaligned cabinet top or trim

• One cabinet top clip

• Always disconnect power before servicing the appliance
• Remove necessary trim or panels to access the cabinet clip; a screwdriver or trim tool may be needed
• Replace broken or worn clips with matching parts only; inspect surrounding fasteners for damage

Size: 10-24 x .50 HXNI.

This is a genuine replacement screw that secures appliance panels and small components to restore proper fit and reduce noise. Use it to replace missing or stripped fasteners for a secure, long-lasting connection. What it does:

• Fastens panels, brackets, trim, and small internal components
• Restores proper alignment to eliminate vibration or rattling
• Replaces missing or damaged screws that cause loose parts
• Helps ensure panels and assemblies stay securely mounted during operation

• Disconnect power and/or gas supply before working on the appliance
• Use the correct screwdriver or driver bit to avoid stripping the head
• Hand-start the screw, then tighten firmly but avoid over-torquing
• If threads are damaged, replace with the correct OEM screw rather than re-using

A stabilizer bracket that secures and supports internal components to reduce movement and rattle during operation. Helps restore stable alignment so the appliance runs quieter and more reliably. What it does:

• Provides structural support to help keep assemblies aligned and reduce excessive movement
• Dampens vibration and minimizes knocking or rattling noises tied to loose components
• Restores proper fit where a worn or broken bracket allowed shifting or misalignment
• Works as a repair for symptoms like intermittent noise, excess vibration, or parts that sag or shift

• Disconnect power (and water if appliance-specific) before beginning any repair
• Basic hand tools are usually required; refer to your model's service manual for exact steps
• Inspect surrounding parts for wear while replacing the bracket

This idler pulley guides and maintains tension on the dryer drive belt so the drum spins smoothly and quietly. Replacing a worn pulley restores proper belt tracking and helps prevent belt wear or breakage. What it does:

• Maintains correct tension and alignment of the drive belt
• Reduces squealing or grinding noises from a worn pulley bearing
• Prevents belt slipping and uneven drum rotation
• Helps avoid premature belt wear or burning rubber smells

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any work.
• Access may require removing the dryer front or cabinet panels and releasing the belt; follow your model's service instructions.
• Inspect the belt and drum support for wear and replace if needed while servicing.
• Use basic hand tools.

This is a fastener screw used to secure appliance panels and components where a 10-24 thread is required. It provides a reliable hold for reattaching parts during repairs and maintenance. What it does:

• Fastens panels, brackets, or components with a 10-24 threaded hole
• Restores original attachment points that have missing or damaged screws
• Helps reduce vibration and rattling when properly tightened
• Works with metal or reinforced plastic mating components designed for 10-24 hardware

• One screw (quantity: 1)

• Use the matching 10-24 driver/socket and turn until snug; avoid over-tightening
• Verify mating threads and alignment before driving to prevent cross-threading
• Disconnect power and follow appliance safety procedures before servicing
• Check for proper washer or spacer if originally present

This 10-32 x 3/8 machine screw secures panels and components in many appliances where a small, threaded fastener is required. It replaces stripped, missing, or loose screws to restore stable assembly and reduce vibration. What it does:

• Fastens panels, brackets, and small components using 10-32 unified threads
• Restores secure mounting when screws are missing, stripped, or loose
• Helps stop rattling, misalignment, and intermittent part contact caused by loose fasteners
• Works wherever a 10-32 x 3/8 machine screw is specified by the manufacturer

• Disconnect power or unplug the appliance before servicing
• Use the correct size screwdriver or nut driver to avoid stripping the head
• Tighten until snug; avoid over-tightening which can strip threads or crack plastic
• Replace with the same size and thread spec to ensure proper fit and function

This brake spring restores proper tension in the washer's transmission brake so the basket stops promptly and releases cleanly for spin. Replacing a fatigued or broken spring helps bring back smooth, reliable spin and stopping performance.

• Maintains brake tension to hold the basket stationary between cycles
• Releases the brake during spin so the basket can reach proper speed
• Helps stop the basket smoothly at cycle end
• Common signs include no/slow spin, basket coasting too long after spin, or brake squeal/grinding when stopping

• Disconnect power and water before servicing; wear gloves and eye protection.
• The brake spring is under tension—secure the assembly and carefully relieve spring force before removal.
• Access typically requires removing drive components to reach the brake assembly; support the washer safely if tilted.
• After installation, hand-rotate the drive pulley to ensure smooth brake engagement and release before running a test cycle.

This lid switch assembly kit is the washer's safety interlock. It detects when the lid is closed so the control can allow the machine to spin, helping restore safe, reliable operation when the original switch fails.

• Senses lid closed and enables the spin cycle
• Prevents spinning with the lid open for safety
• Common failure symptoms: no spin or intermittent spin
• Requires pressing or jiggling the lid to run; no audible "click" when closing the lid

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Access the switch under the top/console area; remove the old switch/bracket as designed
• Route wiring along the original path and secure away from moving parts
• Align the actuator so the lid reliably engages the switch; test spin operation before reassembly

Mounting screw used to secure panels, trim, brackets, and small appliance components. Replace a missing or damaged fastener to restore proper fit, reduce vibration, and keep parts aligned for safe operation. What it does:

• Secures panels, control boards, brackets, and trim to maintain correct assembly
• Replaces stripped, broken, or missing screws that cause loose or rattling parts
• Helps prevent misalignment that can interfere with doors, knobs, or covers
• Standard fastener interface — use the correct driver and size for a secure fit

• Disconnect power and/or gas and follow appliance safety procedures before servicing
• Use the correct screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping the head
• Do not overtighten; snug until secure to avoid damage to threads or surrounding parts
• If threads are damaged, replace the mating component or use the correct thread-repair method
