This lid switch housing secures and protects the washer's lid switch assembly so the machine can detect the lid position reliably. It replaces a cracked or broken housing to restore proper switch alignment and protection. What it does:

• Holds the lid switch assembly in the correct position for reliable lid detection.
• Shields the switch from impacts and debris that can cause intermittent failures.
• Common symptom: washer won't start, won't spin, or shows lid-lock-related errors when the housing is damaged.
• Restores consistent electrical/mechanical engagement between the lid and switch when installed correctly.

• Unplug the appliance before beginning any service to avoid shock or injury.
• Basic hand tools are typically needed; follow the OEM diagram for correct removal and reassembly.
• Inspect the lid switch and wiring while replacing the housing; replace any damaged components.

This gasket seals the basket to the center shaft to help prevent leaks and reduce noise from worn or damaged seals. It restores a proper seal between the tub/basket and the drive shaft for reliable operation. What it does:

• Seals the gap between the basket/tub and the center drive shaft to help prevent water from leaking into the motor/tub area
• Helps reduce rubbing noise caused by a worn or torn seal
• Restores a tight fit after seal failure, wear, or damage
• Common symptom: water leakage from the tub area or visible wear around the shaft opening

• Refer to the exploded parts diagram for correct positioning and orientation
• Inspect mating surfaces for damage or residue and clean before installing the new gasket
• Replace only when the appliance is unplugged and water supply is turned off; follow safety procedures for draining and securing the unit
• If other components show wear (shaft seals, basket, or fasteners), replace them as recommended by the OEM

This locknut is a small threaded retaining nut used to secure rotating and stationary appliance components, helping keep assemblies tight and stable during operation. It prevents parts from loosening and reduces vibration-related issues. What it does:

• Secures shafts, pulleys, or fittings to prevent axial movement
• Keeps assemblies fastened under normal vibration and load
• Helps stop wobble, grinding, or part separation caused by a loose connection
• Works with the matching threaded stud, shaft, or fitting for a proper hold

• Disconnect power and follow appliance safety procedures before servicing
• Use the matching thread size and engage threads fully; hand-start before tightening
• Tighten securely without overtightening; use the correct driver or socket for the nut
• Inspect mating threads and replace if damaged

This is a genuine replacement screw used to secure appliance panels and components, restoring proper fit and reducing vibration or rattling. Simple, low-cost fastener that helps keep parts aligned and stable. What it does:

• Fastens panels, brackets, or trim to the appliance frame
• Restores secure connections that can cause buzzing, rattling, or loose trim
• Replaces missing or stripped hardware to prevent further movement or wear
• Works where the original OEM screw was specified for fit and compatibility

• Disconnect power before working on electrical appliances to avoid shock
• Use the correct size driver to avoid stripping the head
• Install by hand initially to ensure proper threading, then snug—do not overtighten
• Retain removed hardware and compare to the new screw for correct fit before final assembly
