Symptoms of a bad water inlet valve include:

• Washer not filling with water
• Slow fill or no water flow
• Water leaking from the valve area
• Inconsistent water temperature during cycles

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

Tap the drive block and disconnect the outer tub before pulling the hose free and removing the suspension springs. The new part can be installed in the new place before turning the power and water back on. This outer tub is made for use with washing machines and washer and dryer combination appliances made by Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Roper, Crosley, Inglis, and Estate. This is a genuine OEM replacement part that is directly sourced from the manufacturer. It is sold as a single part.

Impeller cap that fits over the pump impeller to protect moving parts and help maintain proper water circulation. Replacing a cracked or missing cap helps reduce leaks and restore reliable pump performance. What it does:

• Covers and protects the pump impeller from debris and direct contact.
• Helps maintain correct water flow and impeller alignment inside the pump housing.
• A damaged or missing cap can cause reduced circulation, noisy operation, or leaks near the pump area.
• Small, inexpensive replacement that can prevent further pump damage when installed promptly.

• Disconnect power (and water if applicable) before accessing the pump area.
• Access may require removing an access panel or lower kick plate; keep fasteners and panels organized.
• Press the cap onto the impeller until fully seated; avoid forcing if resistance indicates other damage.
• Inspect the impeller and nearby seals while replacing the cap; replace the pump assembly or seals if they show wear.

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.

This spring-damper assembly cushions and stabilizes moving components to reduce noise, vibration and abrupt motions. It restores smoother operation and helps prevent wear on related parts. What it does:

• Absorbs shock and controls motion to reduce banging or sudden movement
• Stabilizes moving components for quieter, smoother operation
• Helps prevent accelerated wear on hinges, levers or linkages
• Addresses symptoms like excessive vibration, rattling or irregular movement

• Disconnect power (and water if applicable) before starting any repair
• Handle carefully; springs can be under tension—wear safety glasses and gloves
• Basic hand tools typically required; follow OEM service instructions for alignment
• Inspect and replace other suspension or hinge parts as needed for best results

This motor shield protects and secures the appliance motor assembly, helping block debris and contact with nearby components so the motor can run reliably. It's a direct-fit replacement for a damaged or missing motor shield. What it does

• Shields the motor from debris and foreign objects that can cause rubbing or obstruction.
• Helps secure and position the motor within the cabinet to maintain proper alignment.
• Reduces risk of contact between the motor and other parts that can cause noise or wear.
• Replacing a cracked or missing shield can prevent recurring motor issues and reduce abnormal sounds.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair.
• Use basic hand tools; avoid forcing fasteners or damaging adjacent components.
• Wear gloves to protect against sharp edges on the shield or mounting area.

Rear panel pad cushions and insulates the appliance's rear cabinet to reduce vibration, noise and rubbing against the back panel. Replacing a damaged pad helps stop rattles and protects internal components from wear. What it does:

• Provides rear-cabinet cushioning and thermal/abrasion protection for the back panel.
• Dampens vibration and reduces operational noise.
• Prevents direct metal-to-metal contact that can cause rubbing or wear.
• Common symptom fix: reduces rattling or vibrating noises from the appliance rear.

• Always disconnect power (and gas, if applicable) before starting any repair.
• Remove the rear access panel to access the pad; replace using the original mounting points, adhesive or clips.
• Inspect surrounding insulation and mounting hardware; replace any damaged fasteners.
