This three-circuit connector housing organizes and protects terminals in an appliance wiring harness. It provides a secure, insulated plug connection to help prevent loose contacts, heat damage, and intermittent operation when the original housing is cracked or melted. What it does:

• Holds three wiring terminals in the correct orientation for a mating connector
• Insulates and locks terminals to reduce arcing and overheating at the plug
• Replaces cracked, brittle, or heat-damaged connector housings
• Symptoms can include intermittent power, burnt odor near the connector, discoloration/melting, or a plug that won't stay latched

• 1 three-circuit connector housing

• Disconnect power before servicing the appliance
• Note wire/terminal positions and transfer them one at a time into the new housing
• Inspect terminals; replace any that are discolored, loose, or damaged. Use the correct crimp tool/terminals specified for your model
• Fully seat each terminal until it locks and the connector latch engages securely

Size: 10-16 x 5/8 inch.

This rotary, 3-position temperature selector switch lets you choose the cycle's temperature. When it wears out, settings may not respond or temperatures may be wrong. Replacing it restores accurate temperature selection and dependable performance.

• Provides user control of temperature with three selectable positions
• Sends the chosen setting to the appliance's control system to achieve the requested temperature
• Common signs of failure: only one setting works, temperature doesn't match the selection, or the selector is loose/hard to turn
• Visible damage to the switch shaft or terminals

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing
• Access the switch from the control panel/console
• Note wire locations and transfer them one-by-one (or take a photo for reference)
• Reinstall the existing knob, aligning the flat on the shaft as removed

Includes drive tube spacer, "T" bearing and both shaft seals.

This brake release cam works with the washer's brake assembly to disengage the brake during spin and re-engage it at stop. Replacing a worn cam restores smooth basket spin and reduces squeal or grinding at spin transitions.

• Disengages the brake so the basket can spin; helps reapply the brake as the cycle ends
• Supports smooth starts and stops of the spin cycle
• Worn or damaged cams can cause no spin or intermittent spin
• Common symptoms include loud squeal/grinding at start/stop or a burning odor near the brake area

• Disconnect power (and water supply, if moving the washer) before service
• Access the brake/basket drive area; the brake spring is under tension—use caution and eye protection
• Note orientation of parts before removal; seat the new cam correctly
• After reassembly, run an empty spin test to verify operation

Used from harness to top.

This clutch spring cap retains and protects the clutch spring in your washer's drive/clutch assembly, maintaining proper tension. Replacing a worn or missing cap helps the clutch engage smoothly and reduces slipping and noise during spin.

• Secures the clutch spring within the clutch assembly to prevent movement or dislodging
• Maintains correct spring preload for consistent clutch engagement
• Can help reduce clutch slip that appears as weak/no spin, slow spin ramp-up, or intermittent spinning
• Common signs of trouble: rattling or scraping near the drive, burning smell, or a visibly damaged/missing cap

• Unplug the appliance and shut off water before servicing
• Access the clutch per your model's service procedure; removing the gearcase/transmission and clutch may be required
• Carefully relieve spring tension and note the orientation of the spring and cap before removal
• Inspect the spring, clutch lining, and related hardware; replace any worn components during reassembly

Straight knurled pin that secures knobs or small components to a shaft for a tight, slip-resistant fit. Replaces a worn or missing pin to stop loose, wobbly, or spinning knobs and restore reliable engagement. What it does:

• Secures knobs, dials or small parts to control shafts by providing a press-fit, knurled surface.
• Prevents wobble, slipping, or spinning of control knobs that won't turn with the shaft.
• Common service symptom: knob spins freely or fails to engage controls.
• Used where a small metal pin is required to lock a component onto a splined or smooth shaft.

• Disconnect power and unplug the appliance before servicing.
• Remove the knob or access panel to reach the shaft; pin is typically press-fit.
• Removal/installation may require needle-nose pliers, a small punch, or a bench press; protect surrounding parts from damage.
• Keep small parts away from children and follow appliance safety guidelines; replace mating hardware if the shaft or hole is damaged.

Replacement flexible hose that routes water inside your appliance, restoring secure flow and helping prevent leaks or drainage problems caused by cracked, kinked, or worn hoses. What it does:

• Directs water to and from appliance components during normal operation.
• Prevents leaks when hose walls and fittings are intact.
• Common symptom fix: visible leaks, water pooling beneath the appliance, or reduced/irregular water flow.
• Fits in-line with existing clamps and fittings to maintain proper routing.

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before starting any repair.
• Inspect and replace clamps or fittings if corroded or damaged; use proper-size clamps for a secure seal.
• Route hose without sharp bends or kinks and avoid contact with hot surfaces or moving parts.

Replacement console strap that secures the appliance control panel to the cabinet, restoring stable console alignment and preventing the control panel from shifting or sagging during use for safer, neater operation. What it does:

• Secures the control console to the cabinet to prevent wobble, tilt, or separation.
• Replaces a worn or broken strap commonly causing a loose or misaligned control panel.
• Helps reduce strain on control harnesses and connectors that can occur when the console moves.
• Matches OEM fit so the console remains properly seated and functional.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair.
• Typically accessed by removing the console or control panel; retain all screws and clips for reassembly.
• Use common hand tools (screwdriver, nut driver) and follow the model-specific service manual for exact steps.
• If wiring connectors are disturbed, verify secure connections before restoring power.
