This agitator cap covers the top of the washer agitator, restoring the finished appearance and helping keep the agitator post and fastener protected from lint and moisture. Ideal for replacing cracked, faded, or missing caps. What it does:

• Covers the agitator retaining bolt/fastener to reduce exposure and debris buildup
• Helps prevent fabric from snagging on an exposed agitator top
• Restores finished look to the agitator after damage or wear
• Useful when the original cap is cracked, broken, or discolored

• Disconnect power to the washer before servicing.
• This cap typically snaps into place or fits over the agitator post; some models require partial agitator removal.
• Use basic hand tools if agitator removal is necessary; avoid forcing plastic parts to prevent breakage.

This brake spring restores the tensioning force needed for the appliance's brake mechanism so the drum/rotating assembly holds and releases correctly. Replaces a worn or broken brake spring to help restore normal stopping behavior. What it does:

• Provides tension for the brake assembly so the drum or shaft can stop and hold when power is removed
• Commonly replaced when brake action is weak, noisy, or the drum keeps turning after power-off
• Helps prevent uncontrolled rotation that can affect spin/stop cycles or safety
• Simple mechanical part — no electrical connections or calibration needed

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid shock or injury
• Inspect surrounding brake components and mounting points; replace any damaged hardware
• Use proper tools to remove and install the spring — springs are under tension and can snap back

This U-bend retainer secures the drain U-bend or trap tubing in place to prevent leaks and keep plumbing routed safely under the appliance. It's a small but important clip that helps maintain proper drain alignment. What it does:

• Holds the U-shaped drain/trap tubing securely to the appliance drain outlet
• Helps prevent the drain hose from slipping free and causing leaks
• Keeps the drain line routed to avoid kinks or contact with moving parts
• Commonly replaced when the original clip is broken, cracked, or missing

• One U-bend retainer clip

• Basic hand tools may be required; disconnect power and water supply before servicing
• Remove any obstructing panels to access the drain outlet area
• Press the clip into position over the U-bend until it snaps or seats securely

This replacement sleeve fits over a rotating shaft to reduce friction and protect the mating surface, helping restore smooth operation and reduce noise. Use when a worn sleeve causes rubbing or uneven movement. What it does:

• Acts as a bushing to prevent metal-to-metal contact on a rotating shaft
• Reduces friction and wear on the shaft and surrounding components
• Helps stop rubbing, scraping, or squeaking noises caused by a worn sleeve
• Restores proper alignment for smoother, quieter operation

• Disconnect power (and gas, if applicable) before starting any repair
• Use basic hand tools; no special training required for most installations
• Inspect the shaft and mating surfaces; replace if excessively scored or damaged
• If press-fit, install carefully to avoid damaging the new sleeve; do not use solvents as a substitute for proper fit

This E ring is a small metal retaining clip that secures shafts, pulleys, and other rotating parts to prevent axial movement. It restores correct part positioning so assemblies run smoothly and stay aligned. What it does:

• Acts as a snap/retaining ring to hold components on a shaft or in a groove
• Prevents pulleys, bearings, or spacers from sliding out of place
• Common symptom: loose or shifting pulley, increased wobble, noise, or component disengagement
• Small, inexpensive part whose failure can allow adjacent parts to migrate and cause additional damage

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair
• Use snap-ring pliers or needle-nose pliers and wear eye protection when installing or removing
• Ensure clip seats fully in the shaft groove and that mating surfaces are clean and undamaged
• Replace any damaged mating hardware rather than reusing a deformed clip

This 10-circuit connector housing provides a secure plug-style connection for the appliance wiring harness, restoring reliable electrical contact where the original plastic connector is cracked or melted. It helps ensure circuits stay seated and insulated. What it does:

• Replaces a damaged or cracked 10-circuit plastic connector housing to restore a proper plug connection
• Secures wiring harness terminals to prevent intermittent power or signal loss
• Keeps electrical contacts insulated from vibration and moisture
• Useful when the mating connector body is broken, burned, or otherwise unusable

• One 10-circuit connector housing

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repairs
• Verify terminal pin type and wiring orientation before removing the old housing; take a photo for reference
• This listing is for the housing only; transfer existing terminals/pins or replace pins with exact matches as needed

The Switch Mounting Screw is an OEM part compatible with Whirlpool washing machines. This screw securely mounts the cycle selector switch within the control console assembly. Proper fastening ensures dependable operation of control functions.  

Causes of a bad mounting screw can stem from stress cracks developing over multiple years of operation. Vibrations accumulate, slowly loosening connections housed in a wet environment.

Symptoms of a bad mounting screw include:

• Loose or rattling switch within the console face  
• Difficulty selecting cycles as buttons wobble out of place
• Water intrusion hastening corrosion of electrical terminals
• Potential shock hazards if live connections are exposed

This Whirlpool replacement screw restores a tight mounting point. It is compatible with brands like Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

This agitate gear washer is a small flat washer used with the washer's agitate gear to ensure proper spacing and smooth engagement. It helps maintain correct gear alignment so the agitator can move laundry effectively. What it does:

• Provides a stable spacer between the agitate gear and mating components to prevent excess play
• Helps maintain correct gear alignment for consistent agitator movement
• Reduces metal-on-metal contact that can cause noise or premature wear
• Commonly replaced when the agitator feels loose, makes grinding noise, or causes uneven agitation

• High-level replacement: remove agitator/gear per service manual to access washer; reinstall in original orientation
• Use manufacturer torque/settings for reassembly; do not overtighten
• Inspect adjacent gear and splines for wear; replace any damaged components
• Disconnect power and follow safety procedures before servicing the washer

Color: White

Includes gasket sealer.

This balance ring mounts on the top of the washer's spin basket. Its sealed, liquid-filled chamber shifts weight to counterbalance uneven loads so the tub spins smoothly, reducing vibration, noise, and stress on other components. What it does:

• Uses internal fluid to counterbalance heavy or uneven loads during spin
• Helps minimize vibration, shaking, and thumping noises
• Reduces washer movement or "walking" during spin
• Common failure symptoms: excessive vibration/noise, frequent out-of-balance loads, or visible cracks/leaks at the ring

• 1 balance ring assembly

• Disconnect power and water; wear gloves and use proper safety precautions
• Access the ring by removing the cabinet/top and inner basket (procedure varies by model)
• Remove the old ring; seat the new ring evenly on the basket rim—do not puncture the sealed chamber
• Reassemble, level the washer, and run a test spin to ensure smooth operation
