This U-bend retainer secures the drain U-bend or trap tubing in place to prevent leaks and keep plumbing routed safely under the appliance. It's a small but important clip that helps maintain proper drain alignment. What it does:

• Holds the U-shaped drain/trap tubing securely to the appliance drain outlet
• Helps prevent the drain hose from slipping free and causing leaks
• Keeps the drain line routed to avoid kinks or contact with moving parts
• Commonly replaced when the original clip is broken, cracked, or missing

• One U-bend retainer clip

• Basic hand tools may be required; disconnect power and water supply before servicing
• Remove any obstructing panels to access the drain outlet area
• Press the clip into position over the U-bend until it snaps or seats securely

This replacement sleeve fits over a rotating shaft to reduce friction and protect the mating surface, helping restore smooth operation and reduce noise. Use when a worn sleeve causes rubbing or uneven movement. What it does:

• Acts as a bushing to prevent metal-to-metal contact on a rotating shaft
• Reduces friction and wear on the shaft and surrounding components
• Helps stop rubbing, scraping, or squeaking noises caused by a worn sleeve
• Restores proper alignment for smoother, quieter operation

• Disconnect power (and gas, if applicable) before starting any repair
• Use basic hand tools; no special training required for most installations
• Inspect the shaft and mating surfaces; replace if excessively scored or damaged
• If press-fit, install carefully to avoid damaging the new sleeve; do not use solvents as a substitute for proper fit

This E ring is a small metal retaining clip that secures shafts, pulleys, and other rotating parts to prevent axial movement. It restores correct part positioning so assemblies run smoothly and stay aligned. What it does:

• Acts as a snap/retaining ring to hold components on a shaft or in a groove
• Prevents pulleys, bearings, or spacers from sliding out of place
• Common symptom: loose or shifting pulley, increased wobble, noise, or component disengagement
• Small, inexpensive part whose failure can allow adjacent parts to migrate and cause additional damage

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair
• Use snap-ring pliers or needle-nose pliers and wear eye protection when installing or removing
• Ensure clip seats fully in the shaft groove and that mating surfaces are clean and undamaged
• Replace any damaged mating hardware rather than reusing a deformed clip

This 10-circuit connector housing provides a secure plug-style connection for the appliance wiring harness, restoring reliable electrical contact where the original plastic connector is cracked or melted. It helps ensure circuits stay seated and insulated. What it does:

• Replaces a damaged or cracked 10-circuit plastic connector housing to restore a proper plug connection
• Secures wiring harness terminals to prevent intermittent power or signal loss
• Keeps electrical contacts insulated from vibration and moisture
• Useful when the mating connector body is broken, burned, or otherwise unusable

• One 10-circuit connector housing

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repairs
• Verify terminal pin type and wiring orientation before removing the old housing; take a photo for reference
• This listing is for the housing only; transfer existing terminals/pins or replace pins with exact matches as needed

The Switch Mounting Screw is an OEM part compatible with Whirlpool washing machines. This screw securely mounts the cycle selector switch within the control console assembly. Proper fastening ensures dependable operation of control functions.  

Causes of a bad mounting screw can stem from stress cracks developing over multiple years of operation. Vibrations accumulate, slowly loosening connections housed in a wet environment.

Symptoms of a bad mounting screw include:

• Loose or rattling switch within the console face  
• Difficulty selecting cycles as buttons wobble out of place
• Water intrusion hastening corrosion of electrical terminals
• Potential shock hazards if live connections are exposed

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

This agitate gear washer is a small flat washer used with the washer's agitate gear to ensure proper spacing and smooth engagement. It helps maintain correct gear alignment so the agitator can move laundry effectively. What it does:

• Provides a stable spacer between the agitate gear and mating components to prevent excess play
• Helps maintain correct gear alignment for consistent agitator movement
• Reduces metal-on-metal contact that can cause noise or premature wear
• Commonly replaced when the agitator feels loose, makes grinding noise, or causes uneven agitation

• High-level replacement: remove agitator/gear per service manual to access washer; reinstall in original orientation
• Use manufacturer torque/settings for reassembly; do not overtighten
• Inspect adjacent gear and splines for wear; replace any damaged components
• Disconnect power and follow safety procedures before servicing the washer

This is a replacement control knob assembly that restores a secure, easy-to-grip interface for selecting settings on the appliance. It replaces a worn, cracked, or missing knob so controls are easy to read and use. What it does:

• Replaces the worn or broken control knob so dials turn smoothly and settings hold
• Provides a correct fit on the control shaft for reliable selection of cycles or temperatures
• Helps eliminate slipping, sticking, or incomplete knob engagement when adjusting controls
• Matches OEM shape and mounting method for a factory-like feel

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any work to avoid shock or injury
• Remove the old knob by pulling straight off the control shaft; inspect shaft and splines for damage
• Align the replacement knob to the shaft splines and press firmly until fully seated
• If knob does not fully engage, do not force—verify spline alignment

Color: White

Includes gasket sealer.

A cam sleeve that supports and guides the cam on its shaft to keep the cam-driven mechanism moving smoothly. Replacing a worn sleeve helps restore correct alignment and reduces binding or intermittent movement. What it does

• Centers and stabilizes the cam on its shaft for reliable engagement.
• Prevents metal-on-metal wear between the cam and shaft.
• Helps eliminate binding, wobble, or uneven operation caused by a worn sleeve.
• Common symptom of failure: noise, sticking, or irregular movement from the cam-driven mechanism.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair.
• Access typically requires removing the appropriate service panel; follow the model service manual.
• Inspect mating cam and shaft for wear; replace any damaged components.
• Reassemble panels and verify proper operation before returning the appliance to service.

A replacement thrust bearing that supports the washer transmission shaft to reduce axial wear and help the gearbox rotate more smoothly. Use this bearing to address noisy transmission operation and reduce metal-on-metal wear when the original is worn. What it does:

• Supports axial load on the transmission/gearcase shaft to reduce friction and wear
• Helps prevent grinding, scraping, or other metal-on-metal noises from the gearbox
• Can reduce rough or noisy spin and improve agitation when a worn bearing is the cause
• Helps maintain proper alignment of transmission components for smoother operation

• Disconnect power and water supply and drain the washer before beginning any work.
• Replacement requires accessing the agitator/gearcase per the OEM service manual and may involve transmission/gearcase disassembly.
• Inspect nearby seals, fasteners and other bearings while servicing; replace damaged parts to avoid premature failure.
