Wfmc5301ud/16 Parts

This hose inlet is the water inlet connection that directs incoming water into the appliance, restoring a secure supply path and helping prevent leaks at the entry point. What it does

• Provides the sealed connection point for the incoming water supply hose.
• Routes water into the appliance's fill system so cycles can start and run properly.
• Helps prevent leaks where the external supply hose attaches.
• Commonly replaced when water won't enter, the connection leaks, or the inlet is damaged.

• One hose inlet connection.

• Turn off the water supply and disconnect power before replacing.
• Inspect existing seals or gaskets; replace if cracked or worn.
• Tighten connections to hand-firm plus a quarter turn; avoid overtightening.
• After installation, restore water and power and check thoroughly for leaks during a fill cycle.

Spring tank secures and positions an appliance tension spring to maintain proper movement and balance for a door or other moving assembly. Replacing a worn or broken tank restores correct spring alignment and smoother, more reliable operation. What it does:

• Holds the end of the tension spring and keeps it aligned in the assembly.
• Maintains correct spring tension so doors or panels open, close and remain balanced.
• Prevents spring detachment that can cause sudden drops, misalignment or noisy operation.
• Common symptoms of a failing tank: door drops or won't stay open, uneven closing, rattling or banging during movement.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid electrical hazards.
• Support the door or moving panel while replacing the tank to prevent sudden movement or injury.
• Use the OEM part orientation and hardware; inspect the spring and mounting points for wear and replace if scored or damaged.
• Test the door/panel operation several times after installation to ensure correct tension and secure mounting.

This rear drum motor mounting bushing supports the motor shaft at the back of the tub, keeping the drum aligned and reducing wear. It restores smooth drum rotation and helps reduce noise and vibration when functioning properly. What it does:

• Centers and supports the motor shaft to maintain proper drum alignment.
• Cushions rotating components to reduce squealing, grinding, or scraping noises.
• Helps prevent excess drum wobble and uneven wear on the tub and bearings.
• Can stop intermittent rubbing or burning smells caused by a worn mounting surface.

• Disconnect power before starting and follow all safety precautions; service panels may have sharp edges.
• Access typically requires removing the dryer/heater assembly and drum.
• Inspect mating surfaces and surrounding components (shaft, bearing, seal). Replace any excessively worn parts to prevent repeat failures.
• Use only OEM-recommended parts and fasteners; do not force or press the part in without proper alignment.
