Protective cover for washer control panel or component housing. Replaces cracked, broken, or missing covers. Shields internal parts from damage.

This rear cabinet panel replaces the damaged or worn outer back cover on your appliance, restoring structural protection and keeping internal components shielded from dust and debris. It helps maintain safe operation and appliance appearance. What it does:

• Covers and protects internal components at the back of the appliance
• Prevents dust, dirt, and small objects from entering service areas
• Restores proper airflow paths and enclosure integrity when the original panel is dented or missing
• Reduces vibration noise caused by loose or damaged rear panels

• Disconnect power (and water supply if applicable) before beginning any repair
• Use appropriate fasteners and torque to secure the panel; do not overtighten to avoid cracking
• If sharp edges are present, wear gloves and eye protection during installation

The Housing Assembly, Clutch is an OEM part for LG washing machines. It is integral to the washing machine's transmission system, helping to engage and disengage the tub during wash and spin cycles.

You should replace this clutch housing assembly if it becomes worn out or damaged. Over time, the clutch can wear out due to repeated use, heavy loads, or poor maintenance. Additionally, debris or foreign objects can cause damage to the housing or internal components.

Symptoms of a bad clutch housing assembly include:

• Washing machine not spinning or agitating properly
• Excessive noise during wash or spin cycles
• The washer not completing cycles or stopping mid-cycle

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore models.

A hanger pivot is a small rotating bracket or support piece that allows a hanging component—such as a door shelf, panel, or interior part—to swing or adjust freely within your appliance. It provides the pivot point needed for smooth, controlled movement. Replace this part if a hanging component feels loose, won't pivot correctly, or if the pivot itself is cracked or broken.

This socket connects and secures the suspension rod that helps support your washer tub during operation. It allows the tub to move properly while containing vibrations and maintaining balance. Replace it if your washer shakes excessively, makes loud noises during spin cycles, or the tub seems loose.
