This is a replacement hex-washer-head screw used to secure panels, brackets, or components on compatible appliances. It restores proper fastening where original mounting hardware is missing or damaged. What it does

• Fastens panels, trim, or internal brackets to maintain correct alignment and stability
• Helps prevent vibration, rattling, or loose parts caused by worn or missing fasteners
• Matches OEM head style for correct fit with corresponding driver/socket
• Used where a 1/4-20 threaded fastener is specified by the manufacturer

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical shock or injury
• Use the correct driver/socket for the hex washer head to avoid stripping the fastener
• Hand-start the screw to ensure proper thread engagement; tighten securely but avoid over-torquing

Alignment pin keeps the appliance door hinge aligned so the door closes evenly and seals correctly. Replacing a damaged pin restores proper door fit and helps stop sagging, rubbing, or uneven gaps. What it does:

• Positions and secures the door hinge during normal operation
• Restores correct hinge alignment when pins are worn or bent
• Helps eliminate door sag, misalignment, grinding, or difficulty closing
• Works with the hinge assembly to maintain an even seal and proper door movement

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair; ensure the appliance is stable and cool.
• Support the door or hinge assembly while removing and installing the pin to avoid dropping or misaligning heavy components.
• Use basic hand tools; ensure pin orientation and full engagement in the hinge before testing.
• Keep small parts and fasteners secure during reassembly and test the door several times to ensure proper operation.

This is a 6-20 x 3/8 in. appliance screw used to secure panels and components. It provides a simple replacement fastener to restore proper fit and stability to the affected area. What it does:

• Fastens appliance panels, brackets, or small components where a 6-20 x 3/8 in. screw is specified
• Replaces damaged, stripped, or missing screws that cause loose panels or rattling
• Restores proper alignment and reduces vibration-related noise
• Matches the original thread size and length used in many factory assemblies

• One 6-20 x 3/8 in. screw

• Use the correct screwdriver or nut driver to avoid stripping the head
• Tighten until snug; avoid over-torquing which can strip threads or crack plastic
• Disconnect power or take appropriate safety precautions when working near electrical components
• If fasteners mount to plastic, consider using gentle, even pressure to prevent cracking

This silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) is a replacement power-control semiconductor that helps regulate current to heating and motor circuits, restoring proper cycling and output in affected appliances. What it does:

• Controls and switches power to heating elements or motors by gating current flow
• Helps the appliance regulate temperature or motor speed when functioning correctly
• A failing SCR can cause no heat, intermittent heating, or erratic motor behavior
• Designed to mount to a flange with a .625-inch tab for electrical connection

• Always disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before servicing
• Handle the SCR by its edges; avoid touching terminals and observe ESD precautions when possible
• Verify proper orientation and secure mounting to the heatsink or chassis per the service manual

This short wireform hinge secures and guides a door or panel so it opens and closes smoothly. It restores proper alignment and reduces binding or sag that can prevent a door from seating correctly. What it does:

• Provides pivot support for a door or access panel to maintain correct motion and alignment
• Replaces bent, worn, or broken hinge hardware that causes uneven closing or door sag
• Reduces noise and binding during opening/closing when the original hinge has lost shape
• Works with existing hinge mounts and fasteners when in good condition

• One short wireform hinge

• Designed for straightforward replacement; verify correct hinge orientation before removing the old part
• Use appropriate hand tools and keep fasteners organized for reassembly

The Wire Tie is an OEM part for GE dryers. It is used to secure and organize internal wiring, ensuring that wires remain properly positioned and do not interfere with the operation of the dryer. This part plays an important role in preventing wires from becoming tangled, pinched, or damaged during the dryer’s cycles.

Over time, the wire tie can become worn out, broken, or damaged due to prolonged exposure to heat, vibrations, or wear from normal use. A compromised wire tie can lead to loose or unsecured wiring, which may impact the performance of the dryer or cause electrical issues.

Symptoms of a bad Dryer Wire Tie include:

• Loose or unsecured internal wiring
• Interference with dryer components during operation
• Electrical malfunctions or short circuits
• Wires appearing frayed or damaged due to improper support

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

The Drain Hose is an OEM part for GE washing machines. It plays a crucial role in expelling used water from the washer to the household drainage system. If you need to replace the drain hose clip as well, order part number WH16X513.

Causes of a bad Drain Hose can include physical damage such as splits or holes, clogging from lint and debris, or deterioration due to age and frequent exposure to water and detergents.

Symptoms of a bad Drain Hose include:

• Water leaking from the back or underneath the washing machine,
• Slow or incomplete drainage during or after the wash cycle,
• Visible signs of wear or damage on the hose.

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

The Agitator Assembly is an OEM part for GE washing machines. This essential component is responsible for moving clothes during the wash cycle, ensuring thorough cleaning by continually shifting the laundry within the drum. The agitator's design includes fins or vanes that help to circulate water and detergent through the clothes, effectively removing dirt without causing excessive wear to the fabric.

Symptoms of a bad Agitator Assembly include:

• The agitator not moving or only moving weakly during the wash cycle.
• Unusual noises like grinding or thumping indicating mechanical issues.
• Clothes coming out still dirty or less clean than expected, suggesting insufficient agitation.
• The top portion of the agitator moving independently from the base, known as "stripped" agitator dogs.

Causes of a bad agitator can include worn out mechanical parts such as gears or bearings, a damaged drive shaft, or the agitator becoming detached from the transmission due to loosening of the securing bolt.

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models,

Pro Tip: When replacing the agitator, also consider replacing the agitator coupling (WH49X10042).
