This screw grommet anchors a screw in thin appliance panels so trim, covers, or consoles stay tight. It provides a snug, vibration-damping fit where a standard screw could loosen or strip over time.

• Creates a captive insert so a screw can securely fasten to sheet metal or plastic panels
• Replaces a worn, cracked, or missing grommet to restore proper screw retention
• Helps reduce panel rattles and movement from vibration
• Typical signs of failure: screw won't tighten, panel or trim feels loose, grommet falls out

• Disconnect power and shut off gas/water as applicable before servicing
• Remove the screw and lift out the old grommet; clear debris from the opening
• Press the new grommet straight into the hole until fully seated and flush
• Reinstall the screw and tighten gently to avoid deforming the grommet

This temperature sensor mounts on the sealed-system gas inlet line in compatible refrigerators. It relays precise temperature feedback to the control so cooling and defrost cycles are managed correctly, helping maintain stable compartment temperatures. What it does:

• Senses temperature at the gas-inlet line; resistance changes are read by the control
• Helps regulate compressor, fan, and valve operation for proper cooling performance
• A failed sensor may cause erratic temperatures or extended run times
• Can correlate with control thermistor error codes or frost/ice patterns near the evaporator

• 1 thermistor sensor

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Note original sensor placement and insulation; reinstall in the same location and orientation
• Attach the sensor firmly to the line and route the harness as originally, away from sharp, hot, or moving parts
• Do not open or puncture sealed-system tubing; if damage is suspected, stop.

Relocates your dryer's exhaust vent from rear to left, right, or bottom. Includes elbows, duct, and instructions. Replace when changing installation.

Lint duct assembly creates a sealed airflow path from drum to blower. Replace if cracked, damaged, or leaking to restore drying efficiency. Verify fit by model.

This factory fastener secures appliance components such as panels, brackets, and handles. Replacing a missing or damaged screw restores a tight fit, reduces rattles, and helps keep parts aligned for smooth, reliable operation.

• Secures components to the appliance frame or assemblies
• Helps maintain alignment and structural stability
• Replaces missing, rusted, or stripped hardware
• Common symptoms include loose/wobbly handles or panels, rattling/vibration noises, or a visibly missing screw

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Use the correct driver/bit and start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading
• Do not overtighten; snug until secure
• Replace any that are corroded or stripped for an even hold

This motor mount clamp secures the dishwasher's pump/motor assembly to its housing, keeping the motor stable and the seal tight. Replace a damaged clamp to help prevent leaks and reduce vibration or rattling noise.

• Secures the pump/motor assembly at the mount to prevent movement
• Helps maintain a watertight seal at the motor connection
• A failed clamp can lead to leaking from the base area
• May cause excessive vibration or rattling during operation

• Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before servicing
• Access the pump/motor from beneath; support the assembly to relieve tension
• Note clamp orientation; ensure the existing seal is properly seated and tighten the new clamp evenly
• After reassembly, run a short cycle and check for leaks

This replacement washer is a small hardware component used in appliance assemblies to provide a stable bearing surface and proper spacing. Replacing a worn or missing washer helps maintain alignment, reduce vibration, and protect mating parts from damage.

• Distributes load under a nut, bolt, pin, or shaft to protect mating surfaces
• Maintains correct spacing and alignment within stacked components
• Helps reduce friction, vibration, and noise in moving assemblies
• Worn or missing washers can contribute to looseness, wobble, rattling, or premature wear

• Disconnect power and shut off gas/water before servicing
• Note the original order and orientation of parts during disassembly
• Inspect fasteners, shafts, and bushings; replace any that show wear or damage
• Tighten fasteners securely per the service manual; do not overtighten

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.

Holds the dryer bulb and provides electrical connection for interior lighting. Replace if cracked, heat-damaged, or causing flickering lights. Confirm fit.

Fastener secures panels, brackets, and internal assemblies in washers, dryers, and refrigerators. Replace stripped, missing, or worn screws.

Dryer won't start or stops mid-cycle? A broken door strike prevents the latch from catching, so the control can't detect a closed door. Simple fix.

Replacement housing that supports and protects internal components in compatible Whirlpool appliances. Restores structural integrity to the cabinet, helping reduce vibration and keeping wiring and components enclosed for safe, reliable operation. What it does:

• Provides the outer cabinet support that secures motors, controls and wiring
• Protects internal parts from debris and accidental contact
• Helps reduce rattling, vibration and misalignment symptoms caused by cracked or damaged cabinets
• Restores proper fit for panels and fasteners to eliminate rubbing or interference noises

• Disconnect power (and water if applicable) before starting any repair
• Basic hand tools are typically required; keep screws and clips organized during disassembly
• Some housings may require two people to position during replacement—avoid forcing parts to prevent damage
• Fasteners and any sealing gaskets are in good condition and replaced if worn

Restores proper tension to your dryer's lint screen door for smooth opening and closing. Replace if the cover is loose or won't stay closed securely.

The lid switch lever connects the washer's lid hinge to the lid switch, signaling when the lid is closed so the cycle can run. A damaged lever can prevent the safety interlock from closing, leading to no-start or spin issues. What it does:

• Transfers lid movement at the hinge to the lid switch actuator
• A closed lid so the washer can operate
• Common symptoms of a failed lever: washer won't start; won't spin; cycle pauses because the lid-closed signal isn't detected

• 1 lid switch lever

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Lift or open the top to access the hinge/switch area; locate the lever near the lid switch
• Remove the old lever and install the new one in the same orientation; free movement
• Close the lid by hand and the switch clicks before reassembly and testing

Dryer buzzing but not heating? Gas valve assembly controls gas flow to the burner. Common fix for ignition issues. Moderate DIY repair, 30-45 minutes.

Seals unused factory or service holes on your dryer cabinet or liner. Restores a clean appearance and keeps dust out. Replace if cracked, broken, or missing.
