• Maintains correct spacing/stack-up in the original assembly
• Helps reduce loosening, vibration, and premature wear at the joint
• Typical signs of trouble include rattling, looseness, or misalignment at the connection point

• Disconnect power (and turn off water supply if accessing a wet area)
• Use your model's parts diagram to locate and install the washer
• Replace one-for-one; reinstall any spacers or clips in the same stack sequence
• Tighten fasteners to manufacturer guidance—do not overtighten

• Spins freely to reduce friction and belt wear
• Helps route and align the belt between the motor and drum/basket
• Typical symptoms of a failing idler: squealing/chirping, belt fraying or coming off, intermittent or no tumble/spin, burning rubber smell

• Disconnect power; for gas units, also shut off the gas supply.
• Relieve belt tension, swap the assembly, and route the belt per your unit's diagram.
• Rotate the drum/basket by hand to check alignment.
• Wear cut-resistant gloves and use caution around sharp edges and spring tension.

The lid hinge bearing is used for the lid hinges on washers and dryers. When functioning properly, it allows the lid to open and close properly. If this is a problem with the bearing, it could make the lid difficult to move. In some cases, when the lid will not close, it means that the machine will not function correctly. Damaged lid hinge bearings should be replaced as soon as possible.The lid hinge bearings see a lot of work since they are in use whenever the lid of the washer or dryer opens and closes. They could become cracked and broken over time. Replacing the bearings is a relatively simple repair that owners can make on their own.This lid hinge bearing is for use with many models of washers and dryers from Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Roper, Estate, Inglis, Maytag, Admiral, Amana, Crosley, and Magic Chef. This is a genuine OEM replacement part that has been sourced from the manufacturer. The piece is sold individually, so if owners need to replace more than one hinge, they will need to buy multiples.
