• Access the bearing location and remove any retaining screws, clips, or fasteners; note the original orientation
• Clean mating surfaces; transfer any spacers/washers from the old part if present, and seat the new bearing fully
• Spin-test the component by hand to ensure smooth, wobble-free movement before reassembly and test

The Sound Shield is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool washers. It is a sheet metal panel installed behind the tub that helps reduce noise and vibration during spin cycles. With absorptive insulation, the sound shield dampens noise produced internally. 

Symptoms of a damaged sound shield include:

• Excessively loud operation, especially during high-speed spins
• Rattles, clanks, or resonant noises from inside the washer  
• Potentially weakened structure allowing tub movement
• Causes of a damaged sound shield can include tears or dents sustained over many high-speed spin cycles. Constant vibration may cause stress cracks or loose rivets.

 It is also compatible with some  Whirlpool, Maytag, Amana, and Kenmore brands.

The Speaker is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool brand washers. It alerts users with chime tones or voice prompts during cycle operation or any error states. Precise acoustic engineering allows for clear audio reception even amid operating vibrations. 

Symptoms of a bad speaker include: 

• No audio tones or voice prompts were heard  
• Muffled, distorted, or unusually loud sounds
• Speaker making rattling or buzzing noises

Causes can be damage from water damage, defects in the audio circuitry, or aging components. 

This speaker ensures optimal user communication. Without it, you cannot verify cycle progress or troubleshoot issues. Its dependable performance maintains the washer's convenience.

This Whirlpool OEM part fits perfectly while extending the equipment's lifespan. It is compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and select Kenmore washers.
