This agitator drive shaft sits inside the washer's gearcase and transfers motion to the agitator. Replacing a worn or stripped shaft restores firm engagement and reliable wash action while helping reduce slip and grinding during agitation.

• Transfers oscillating motion from the transmission to the agitator
• Provides the splined interface that engages the agitator/coupler
• Common symptoms include no agitation, intermittent/slipping agitation, or grinding/clicking from the gearcase
• Visible wear, rounded splines, or a bent shaft can lead to a loose or non-moving agitator

• Disconnect power and water; use proper PPE
• Requires removing the cabinet and gearcase; drain and reseal the gearcase per service procedures
• Keep gears, spacers, and clips in order; reassemble in the original orientation
• Inspect mating parts (agitator coupler/splines, drive block, seals) and replace if worn

Used for lid switch.

• Helps maintain proper lid alignment and smooth movement
• Common signs it's worn or missing: squeaking lid, rubbing/scuff marks at the hinge, loose or wobbly lid

• Disconnect power to the washer before servicing
• Support the lid to relieve hinge tension and access the hinge area per your model
• Remove the worn pad and press the new pad fully into the hinge location
• Test lid operation; inspect the opposite hinge and replace its pad as needed if your model uses two

This centerpost bearing supports the washer's spin basket on the stationary center post, providing a low-friction surface for smooth, quiet rotation. Replacing a worn bearing helps restore proper spin performance and reduce noise and vibration.

• Supports and centers the spin basket on the tub centerpost/drive shaft
• Provides a low-friction bearing surface to reduce wear and noise
• Helps maintain basket alignment and stability during spin
• When worn, may cause grinding or squealing in spin, excessive vibration or wobble, and poor/slow spin

• Disconnect power and water supply before servicing; use proper PPE
• Access typically requires removing the agitator, inner basket, and related drive components
• Clean mating surfaces; inspect the centerpost/spin tube and tub seal and replace any worn seals per service guidance
• Seat the bearing fully and verify smooth basket rotation before reassembly

This anti-rattle clip adds light spring tension to keep a small component snug and quiet during operation. Replacing a bent or missing clip helps reduce vibration noise and maintains a secure fit of the attached part.

• Applies tension to prevent rattling and buzzing during use
• Helps keep the mounted piece properly seated and aligned
• Common symptoms of failure: audible rattle, loose/wobbly component, missing or deformed clip
• Simple, drop-in replacement where the original clip is used

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Note the original clip's orientation; transfer the new clip the same way
• Use needle-nose pliers for placement; avoid over-bending the clip
• The component is secure and clears adjacent parts before reassembly

The Screw is an OEM component compatible with Whirlpool washing machines. This screw secures the rear bulkhead to the tub, ensuring vibrations are reduced through solid mounting points. Properly installed screws dampen oscillating movement.

Causes of a bad screw include damage from water exposure like corrosion or breakage from stress concentrations if the tub bangs around during imbalanced loads. 

Symptoms of a bad screw include:

• Loose or detached rear bulkhead allowing side-to-side play
• Excessive noise and shaking felt through the surrounding walls   
• Development of micro-cracks around screw holes over time
• Potential leak paths if holes are no longer sealed 

This Whirlpool replacement screw restores a stable suspension system. It is compatible with additional brands like Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

Size: 1-1/16 x 5/8 inch. Used for fill hose. For a 4 pack order 285448A

Timer knob assembly restores manual control of the appliance timer so you can select and change cycle times with a secure, easy-to-grip knob. Replaces a cracked, worn, stripped, or missing timer knob to restore normal operation. What it does:

• Mounts to the timer/control shaft to allow manual selection of timed cycles.
• Re-establishes engagement when the original knob is stripped, loose, cracked, or missing.
• Provides a firm grip and tactile feedback for accurate setting of cycle times.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to reduce risk of shock.
• Pull the old knob straight off the control shaft; align splines and push the replacement knob fully onto the shaft until seated.
• If the knob uses a set screw, tighten gently—do not over-torque.
• If the control shaft is damaged or the knob will not engage properly, replace the control.

This three-circuit connector housing organizes and protects terminals in an appliance wiring harness. It provides a secure, insulated plug connection to help prevent loose contacts, heat damage, and intermittent operation when the original housing is cracked or melted. What it does:

• Holds three wiring terminals in the correct orientation for a mating connector
• Insulates and locks terminals to reduce arcing and overheating at the plug
• Replaces cracked, brittle, or heat-damaged connector housings
• Symptoms can include intermittent power, burnt odor near the connector, discoloration/melting, or a plug that won't stay latched

• 1 three-circuit connector housing

• Disconnect power before servicing the appliance
• Note wire/terminal positions and transfer them one at a time into the new housing
• Inspect terminals; replace any that are discolored, loose, or damaged. Use the correct crimp tool/terminals specified for your model

• Supports smooth starts and stops of the spin cycle
• Worn or damaged cams can cause no spin or intermittent spin
• Common symptoms include loud squeal/grinding at start/stop or a burning odor near the brake area
