This lid switch actuator engages the washer's safety switch when the lid is closed so cycles can start and spin as designed. Replace a broken or missing actuator to restore proper lid switch engagement and reliable operation.

• Engages the lid switch when the lid is closed to enable agitation and spin
• A worn, cracked, or missing actuator can cause the washer not to start or to stop before spin
• Intermittent operation that changes when pressing on the lid often indicates misalignment
• Lack of an audible "click" from the lid switch can point to a faulty actuator or alignment

• Disconnect power before servicing; do not work on a live appliance
• Access the lid/switch area per your model's service procedure
• Remove the damaged actuator and install the new part, securing as designed
• Before reassembly, close the lid to ensure the switch clicks and engages properly

• Transfer and reuse existing clamps/brackets if required; fully seat and secure connections, and route the hose to avoid kinks or rubbing
• Insert the outlet end properly into the standpipe or tub per your model's instructions, then run a quick drain/spin to check for leaks

This small retaining clip secures components in place inside the appliance, helping prevent movement, vibration, and premature wear. Replace a bent, fatigued, or missing clip to restore a solid, factory-tight hold.

• Holds panels, brackets, or tubing securely in their mounts
• Helps maintain alignment to reduce rattles, rubbing, or intermittent issues
• Common signs of failure: missing clip, loose fit, buzzing/vibration, parts that won't stay seated
• Restores proper retention after service, transport, or vibration-related fatigue

• Disconnect power and shut off gas/water before servicing
• Note the original clip's orientation; remove with needle-nose pliers
• Seat the new clip fully—do not over-bend; spring tension provides the hold
• Test operation before reassembly

This pressure switch hose carries air from the washer tub to the pressure switch so the machine can sense and control water level. Replacing a damaged hose restores proper fill control and prevents level-sensing errors. What it does:

• Channels air/vacuum from the tub to the pressure switch so the control can detect water level.
• A cracked, pinched, or collapsed hose may cause overfilling, underfilling, failure to advance cycles, or continuous fill.
• Restores accurate water-level sensing when replacing a worn or damaged hose.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury.
• Remove and replace the hose carefully; avoid kinks, sharp bends, or pinched routing that can impair sensing.
• Use the factory-style connection points and clamps; ensure both ends are seated securely.
• After installation, run a test fill or diagnostic cycle to confirm correct water-level operation and no leaks.

This electronic control board manages your washer's cycle logic and core functions. When it fails, the machine may not start, stop mid-cycle, or act unpredictably. Replacing a faulty board restores reliable cycle control. What it does

• Coordinates filling, wash/agitation or tumbling, draining, and spin based on the selected cycle
• Processes inputs from switches and sensors to time each step
• Common failure symptoms: no power/response, won't start or advance, stops mid-cycle, intermittent operation, or recurring fault codes
• May present erratic lights/indicators or visible heat damage on the board

• 1 electronic control board

• Disconnect power and turn off water before servicing
• Use anti-static precautions; handle the board by its edges
• Photograph wiring; transfer connectors one at a time to matching positions and reuse original mounting hardware as needed
• After installation, run any model-specific diagnostic or calibration procedure per the service manual

This small strainer sits inside the washer's water inlet valve and screens out sand, rust, and sediment from the supply lines. Replacing a clogged or missing screen restores normal fill flow and helps protect the valve.

• Filters debris from incoming hot and cold water before it reaches the valve and tub
• Helps maintain consistent water flow during the fill cycle
• A clogged or damaged screen can cause slow fill, very long fill times, or no fill
• Common causes for replacement include mineral buildup or rust/sediment from supply lines

• Unplug the washer and turn off both water supplies
• Place a towel or shallow pan, relieve hose pressure, and disconnect the fill hoses from the inlet valve
• Carefully pull out the old screen (needle-nose pliers work well); press the new screen fully and evenly into the valve port
• Reconnect hoses, restore water and power, and check for leaks
• Tip: Many washers have separate hot and cold inlets—inspect both screens and replace as needed

Can be upper or lower bearing depending on application.

This washer tub mounting bolt secures the tub assembly to its support points. Replacing worn or missing hardware helps keep the tub aligned and stable through wash and spin, reducing vibration and noise. What it does:

• Anchors the tub assembly to its mounting bracket or frame
• Helps maintain alignment under load and during high-speed spin
• Replace if the bolt is stripped, rounded, rusted, or missing
• Symptoms can include excessive vibration/banging, tub shifting or scraping, and rattling hardware
