The Screw is an OEM component compatible with Whirlpool washing machines. This screw secures the rear bulkhead to the tub, ensuring vibrations are reduced through solid mounting points. Properly installed screws dampen oscillating movement.

Causes of a bad screw include damage from water exposure like corrosion or breakage from stress concentrations if the tub bangs around during imbalanced loads. 

Symptoms of a bad screw include:

• Loose or detached rear bulkhead allowing side-to-side play
• Excessive noise and shaking felt through the surrounding walls   
• Development of micro-cracks around screw holes over time
• Potential leak paths if holes are no longer sealed 

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

Causes of a bad control board can include failure from liquid intrusion or power surges over time. Electronic components may degrade and stop communicating properly.

Symptoms of a bad control board include: 

• Washer not starting or running cycles correctly  
• Error codes appearing on the display
• Inability to change settings or programs
• Other components like the motor not reacting to commands

The control board plays a vital role in operating wash cycles, monitoring temperatures, distributing water, and activating other components like the motor, heater, and drain pump. It allows for personalized settings and monitors safety features.

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

• Direct replacement when the original washer is worn, bent, cracked, or missing
• Typical signs include loose panels/brackets, recurring looseness after tightening, or new vibration after service
