This rotary encoder mounts behind the washer's cycle knob and tells the main control which setting you select. When it fails, selections may be erratic or unresponsive. Replacing it restores accurate, dependable cycle selection. What it does

• Detects the position of the cycle selector knob
• 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 retainer ring is a genuine OEM replacement part sourced directly from the manufacturer for use on front load washing machines to hold the boot seal in place. The boot seal is the gasket that seals the washing machine when the door is closed to prevent water from leaking. The retainer ring is located flush against the boot seal and has either a spring clamp or screw clamp that secures it. Over time, this ring may become damaged due to the washing machine's normal use and age. If the ring is not tight, the washing machine could leak when in use. If water is coming from the door, it is a good idea to inspect and replace the retainer ring and possibly the boot as well.Unplug the washing machine to prevent electrocution. Remove the front panel, the detergent dispenser, and the kickplate to access the retainer ring. Locate the clamp on the ring and loosen it. Remove the retainer ring and set it to the side. Inspect the boot and then install the new retainer ring. Tighten the clamp and reassemble the washing machine. This retainer ring is sold as an individual unit. It is designed specifically for washing machines manufactured by Whirlpool.

This clothes mover is the upper agitator section in many top-load washers. It ratchets to circulate laundry through the wash bath, restoring proper rollover and cleaning when the original auger becomes cracked, stripped, or slips under load.

• Sits on top of the lower agitator and indexes with each stroke to move clothes through water and detergent
• Helps maintain proper turnover for even cleaning and fabric care
• Typical failure signs: top agitator not advancing, clothes not circulating, or clicking/slipping during agitation
• Visible cracks or rounded internal drive surfaces indicate the part should be replaced

• Unplug the washer and turn off water; wear appropriate safety gloves
• Remove the fabric softener dispenser and inner cap to access the agitator bolt
• Use a suitable socket/extension to remove the bolt, lift off the old clothes mover, seat the new one, and reinstall the bolt/caps securely
• Run a brief cycle to verify proper agitation

This upper agitator—also called the clothes mover—is the top section of the agitator in select top-load washers. It works with the agitator cam and dogs to roll laundry over during wash strokes. Replace if cracked, stripped, or no longer engaging. What it does:

• Provides the upper vanes that lift and roll clothes for proper turnover during agitation
• Transfers one-way motion from the cam/dogs to the top section of the agitator
• Helps address symptoms like the top section free-spinning, poor turnover/cleaning, rattling/loose feel, or visible cracks/broken fins

• Unplug power and shut off water (if applicable) before servicing
• Note clamp position/orientation before removal
• Use appropriate screwdriver or nut driver to tighten evenly
• Do not overtighten—ensure a snug, leak-free seal without damaging the hose

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
