This retaining ring secures a component on a shaft or within a groove so it stays aligned during operation. Replacing a bent, rusted, or missing ring helps stop wobble, noise, and parts working loose.

• Locks into a groove to keep gears, pulleys, wheels, or spacers from sliding off a shaft
• Helps maintain proper spacing and alignment of moving parts
• Common signs of failure: wobbling parts, scraping/rubbing noises, or components that work loose
• Visual clues: deformation, corrosion, or loss of spring tension

• Disconnect power and any utilities to the appliance before service
• Wear eye protection—retaining rings can spring free under tension
• Note the order/orientation of any washers or spacers before removal
• Use appropriate snap-ring or needle-nose pliers and ensure the ring seats fully in its groove

Seal assembly replaces the washer's front tub seal to prevent water from leaking around the cylinder, helping stop puddles under the machine and protecting internal components from water exposure. What it does:

• Forms a watertight seal between the front of the tub/cylinder and the outer housing.
• Helps stop leaks that occur during fill, wash, or spin cycles; replacement commonly resolves visible water at the front/base of the washer.
• Use when the seal shows cracks, tears, hardening, or other visible damage.
• Replacement restores proper sealing to help protect bearings and electronics from water intrusion.

• Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before servicing.
• Replacement typically requires front access and partial disassembly of the tub/cabinet; follow the manufacturer service manual and use appropriate tools.
• Clean and inspect the mating surfaces and the shaft for wear or contamination before installing the new seal.
• If you find bearing noise, oil residue, or extensive corrosion, consider replacing affected components.

This hex-head sheet metal screw secures appliance panels, brackets, and trim for a tight, rattle-free fit. Replace missing or stripped fasteners to keep covers and components firmly in place and restore proper alignment.

• Fastens sheet-metal parts, brackets, and trim using a hex drive
• Replaces worn, rusted, missing, or stripped screws
• Helps reduce vibration and rattling from loose panels
• Common signs you need this fastener: head or threads stripped, screw won't tighten, panel or handle coming loose

• Unplug the appliance before service; turn off water supply if working near water lines
• Use the correct nut driver or socket to avoid rounding the head
• Replace one fastener at a time to maintain alignment; do not overtighten
• Match screw type/length to the original location as specified by the manufacturer

Felt pad.

Right hand side. For the drum glide and felt pad order LA-1006.

This idler arm assembly keeps the dryer drive belt under proper tension so the drum turns smoothly. Replacing a worn idler restores belt tracking and reduces noise from a failing tensioner. What it does:

• Holds and tensions the dryer drive belt to maintain proper belt tracking
• Keeps the belt aligned on the drum and motor pulley to prevent slipping
• Worn or seized idler can cause squealing, grinding, or premature belt wear
• A failed idler may lead to belt damage or the drum not turning properly

• Disconnect power (and gas supply for gas dryers) before beginning any repair
• Access may require removing the dryer front panel or drum—follow your model's service instructions
• Support the drum and belt while removing the old idler to avoid damage
• Inspect the belt, motor pulley, and rollers while replacing the idler; replace worn components as needed

This idler spring maintains proper tension on the dryer drum belt by keeping the idler pulley engaged. Replacing a weak or broken spring restores consistent drum rotation and helps prevent belt slippage and squealing during operation.

• Maintains belt tension by pulling the idler arm/pulley against the drum belt
• Helps the motor start and keep the drum turning smoothly
• Reduces belt slippage that can cause squealing or chirping
• Common symptoms of a failed spring: drum won't turn or turns intermittently; belt comes off or feels loose; loud squeal from idler area

• Disconnect power; for gas dryers, shut off the gas supply
• Access the idler assembly; relieve belt tension and note belt/spring routing before removal
• Attach the new spring to the same holes/orientation on the idler arm and base; verify belt path
• Rotate the drum by hand to confirm alignment and tension before reassembly
