The Screw is an OEM component compatible with Whirlpool washing machines. This screw secures the rear panel onto the cabinet frame, ensuring a sturdy connection between housing components.  Proper installation is critical for the washer's structural integrity.

Causes of a bad screw include corrosion from repeated water exposure or stresses from years of use. Loosening can occur from vibrations weakening the threads over time. 

Symptoms of a bad screw include:

• Rear panel detaching from frame opening gaps
• Increased noise and vibrations from a compromised seal  
• Stress on other connections from improper mounting points
• Potential leak paths from openings near hoses or tub areas

This OEM Whirlpool replacement screw helps maintain a tight panel closure. It is compatible with additional brands like Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

• A worn or broken spring may cause the cover to feel loose, pop open, or not stay closed
• May make inserting or removing the lint screen difficult

• Disconnect power; for gas dryers, also shut off gas supply
• Access the lint screen door area per your model's service information
• Note the original spring orientation; transfer the new spring carefully using needle-nose pliers
• Check cover operation and lint screen seating before restoring power

This replacement seal restores a tight barrier between mating parts in your appliance, helping maintain proper performance. It replaces a worn or deformed factory seal that can no longer hold a reliable fit due to age, heat, or chemical exposure.

• Creates a tight barrier between components to prevent leaks or air intrusion, as designed for the assembly
• Helps maintain correct pressure/flow and overall performance
• Common signs of failure: cracks, flattening, brittleness, or residue at the joint
• Helps address moisture seepage or performance loss at the sealed connection

• Disconnect power and, if applicable, turn off water supply before servicing
• Access the sealed joint; note the original seal's orientation
• Clean and dry mating surfaces thoroughly; install the new seal evenly and squarely
• Do not use sealants or lubricants unless specified by the manufacturer; test for leaks/fit before reassembly

This snap-down locator is a small locking clip that positions and secures its mating component. Replacing a worn or missing locator helps keep assemblies aligned and reduces unwanted movement during normal operation.

• Snaps down to lock the component securely in place
• Maintains proper position and alignment of the part it supports
• Helps minimize vibration, rattling, or shifting
• Common signs of failure: cracked, deformed, or missing clip; part won't stay put

Screw for control panel.

This socket is an electrical connector that secures a wiring plug to an appliance component, restoring reliable contact and reducing intermittent power or component failures caused by a worn or damaged connector. What it does:

• Provides a stable electrical connection between wiring and the appliance component.
• Ensures consistent power transfer to control boards, motors or heating elements.
• A faulty socket can cause intermittent operation, loss of function, arcing, or a component that does not receive power.
• Replacing a corroded or loose socket can eliminate connection-related faults without replacing the whole assembly.

• Always disconnect power (and gas where applicable) before attempting any repair.
• Take a photo or label wires before removing the old socket to ensure correct reassembly.
• Replace only with the exact part; do not force connectors—ensure proper seating and secure fasteners.
• If you see damaged wiring, melted insulation, or signs of arcing, inspect and repair wiring harness.
