This replacement washplate sits at the bottom of the tub and uses low-profile fins to move laundry and water for effective cleaning. Replace it if the original is cracked, stripped, or no longer gripping the drive hub.

• Creates the wash action by circulating water and rolling clothes through the tub
• Transfers motor torque via the center splines to agitate fabrics
• Common symptoms: clothes not moving, poor cleaning, wobbly/loose washplate, or ratcheting/grinding during wash
• Visual clues: cracks, broken fins, or rounded/stripped splines

• Disconnect power and turn off water supply before servicing
• Remove the center cap/dispenser, then remove the center bolt and lift off the old washplate
• Clean the hub splines; seat the new washplate fully, reinstall and tighten the center bolt, and replace the cap
• Run a short cycle to ensure proper wash action and quiet operation

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.
