• Sends selection signals to the main control board
• Enables precise cycle and option changes
• Common symptoms: knob turns but lights don't follow, random/incorrect selection, can't select a cycle, won't start

• One rotary encoder

• Disconnect power to the washer before servicing
• Access the control console and remove the knob/dial to reach the encoder
• Note orientation, unplug the harness, release tabs/screws, and swap in the new encoder
• Handle electronics carefully and avoid static discharge; verify knob-to-light tracking before reassembly

This capacitor stores and releases electrical energy to give the appliance's circuit the boost and stability it needs to start and run properly. Replacing a weak or shorted capacitor can restore reliable operation and reduce strain on related components. What it does

• Provides an energy boost and stabilizes voltage in the designated start/run or power circuit
• Helps motors or power sections energize smoothly and maintain performance
• A failing capacitor may cause humming/buzzing, failure to start or heat, intermittent operation, or tripped fuse/breaker
• May show swelling or signs of overheating around the case or terminals

• 1 capacitor

• Disconnect power before service; capacitors can hold a charge—use a proper discharge procedure before handling
• Note/photograph wire locations; move leads to matching terminals and ensure tight connections
• Mount securely in the original position; re-use brackets/insulators as applicable and keep wiring clear of sharp edges or heat
• After replacement, check the related motor or circuit components if symptoms persist

This washer water level pressure switch senses air pressure from the tub and signals the control to stop the fill at the correct point, helping prevent overfilling and ensuring each cycle uses the right amount of water. What it does:

• Monitors tub water level via the air dome hose and internal diaphragm
• Sends signals to the control to open/close the inlet valves during fill
• Helps match water level to the selected or programmed setting
• Failure symptoms include overfilling/overflow, continuous filling, low or no fill, or cycles not advancing from the fill stage

• One pressure switch

• Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before servicing
• Access the console/control area; note wire and hose positions before removal

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.

Includes connector and both clamps.

This set of washer fill hoses connects your home's hot and cold water supply to the washer's inlet valves. Replacing aging hoses helps prevent leaks and ensures the washer fills properly for every cycle.

• Supplies hot and cold water from household faucets to the washer's inlet valves
• Helps address leaks, bulges, or cracks in old hoses
• Can resolve drips at fittings and water on the floor
• Improve slow or no-fill issues caused by kinks or internal blockages

• Unplug the washer and turn off both water supplies before starting
• Place a towel or pan to catch residual water; disconnect old hoses from faucets and inlet valves
• Attach new hoses to the correct hot/cold connections; tighten connections securely without overtightening
• Open valves, check for leaks at both ends, and re-tighten if needed
