Replacement tub centering springs for washers. Maintains proper tub alignment and positioning within the cabinet. Replace if springs are missing or broken.
After looking up the model number of my washing machine on AppliancePartsPros.com I ordered the suspension rod kit, two sets of tub centering springs (one spring per corner), a Ring-Tub (mine was breaking apart due to banging around) and a spare suspension bearing kit in case I need it later. I spoke to a very helpful customer service rep on the phone just before placing my order. They have customer service representatives answering the phone late at night. I was surprised. All of my parts were... Read more
Shock absorber kit reduces vibrations and stabilizes the drum during wash cycles. Replace if worn, leaking, or causing excessive movement and noise.
Our 10-year-old LG WM2487HWMA front load washer had gradually developed multiple problems. It sounded like a jet engine during high speed spin, both the drain pump and circulation pumps were noisy, it would not drain properly (water was coming in during spin cycle), no water was spraying out at the top of the door into the drum like it is supposed to when the circulation pump was running. It's amazing we had still been able to wash clothes at all! With the help of the excellent... Read more
Dishwasher not filling with water or filling too slowly? The water inlet valve controls water flow into the tub. DIY-friendly repair with video guide.
I figured it was the valve, but searching on the Appliance Parts site, somebody said they fixed it by replacing the switch flood assembly. So I order both parts. The Switch Flood Assembly was easiest to replace, so I decided to try that first. When I pulled out the old assembly, I noticed it did not 'rattle', as the new one did. So, there is apparently a float ball that had gotten stuck. I put the new one in and poof.. it worked. The only update to the instructions is a reminder that the... Read more
Spring that provides closing tension for the refrigerator water/ice dispenser door flap. Keeps the dispenser sealed when not in use. Replace if door hangs open or won't close.
My refrigerator is 13 yrs old and began to build up frost in the ice cube shoot and the water tube began to freeze up over night. The flapper door was not closing completely. I simply removed the control panel by pulling up and out on the bottom edge, the edge is only about 1/8 inch thick, so don't reach in to far. You should be able to feel a small division line between the control panel and the refrigerator. No screw driver was needed to expose the 4 mounting screws of the inner dispenser... Read more
Replacement clutch spring for top-load washers. Connects clutch assembly to drive mechanism. Replace if worn, broken, or damaged during repair.
I ordered the parts, after assuring my diagnosis was correct from APP’s knowledgeable representative, and they were shipped quickly. I tipped the washer and disassembled the parts to be replaced and then installed a new clutch, clutch spring and mode shifter. Read more
The Water Inlet is an OEM part for Bosch dishwashers. This component controls the flow of water into the dishwasher during the wash and rinse cycles. It ensures that the appliance receives the appropriate amount of water necessary for optimal cleaning performance.
Causes of a bad water inlet can include mineral buildup from hard water, wear and tear from regular use, or electrical issues that prevent the valve from opening or closing properly.
Symptoms of a bad water inlet include:
This OEM Bosch part is also compatible with Thermador, Gaggenau, and some Kenmore models.
Leak was slow but becoming gradually worse. Pulled dishwasher out from under counter then visually inspected sump while it ran. As soon as the water got very hot, I could see the sump leaking where it meets the stainless pan. Searched for the correct sump gasket without success. Turns out that the gasket is built into the sump for this model. The built-in gasket is very narrow (under-engineered IMHO which is probably why it developed a leak). Thanks to Simon's excellent videos at... Read more
Fix a dishwasher that won't fill with water or leaks underneath. This water inlet valve controls water flow into your dishwasher. Easy 30-minute repair.
Recently my Kenmore dishwasher would start but would not fill with water. A quick test of the float switch reflected proper operation, AND voltage was being delivered TO the contact on the water inlet valve. I then removed power and checked for continuity on the contacts. This read “infinity” (Open circuit) which indicated a break in the coil inside the valve’s solenoid. As such the valve would not open to allow water to flow. I ordered the replacement water inlet valve from... Read more
Fix a dishwasher that won't fill with water or leaks when not in use. This water inlet valve controls water flow during the fill cycle. DIY repair.
Using instructions I obtained over the internet, I first removed the DW's bottom cover panels so I could look inside the DW (with a flashlight) while it was running. I had to put their dishwasher through several wash cycles before I could pinpoint the location of the leak. (The water appeared to be coming from above on the left side of the DW, near the top, rear of the DW's blue "Pressure Chamber." Thinking that the problem likely lay in either a malfunctioning Pressure Chamber or in a... Read more
Fix a dishwasher that won't drain or keeps draining during fill. This solenoid armature controls the drain valve. DIY repair in about 45 minutes.
About a year ago my dishwasher during a cycle was emitting a horrible plastic burning smell. We stopped it mid-cycle, cleaned it out and tried to run a few more cycles after that and realized it wouldn't drain so it sat in my kitchen broken for a year. I finally got so fed up with washing dishes by hand that I took the whole dishwasher apart. Confirmed there were no blockages in any of the hoses etc. when it still didn't work I googled the problem, found this website and found that it must be... Read more

Dishwasher leaking or not filling? The water inlet valve controls water flow into your unit. Common repair for leaks at the valve connection. 10-20 min DIY fix.
Replacing the inlet valve solved the problem. The old valve was somehow clogged with white sediment. I probably could have taken it off and cleaned it out if I'd known, but replacing the valve was much easier. Took about half an hour to repair. Video walk through was extremely helpful. Great to have a working dishwasher again! Read more
Bracket that supports and aligns the ice dispenser door. Replace if broken, cracked, or causing the ice door to hang open or fail to seal properly.
I wasn't sure if it was the door being warped, the spring return being worn, or the rotary damper failing, so I ordered all to update the door mechanism. I also ordered a new micro switch since one of the switches had started to require more and more pressure to actuate. Figured I'd fix it at the same time. Repair was very straightforward and the videos available on this and other repair sites were very helpful. I found a video that showed replacing the door mechanism on a nearly identical... Read more
Dishwasher not filling with water? A faulty water inlet valve prevents water flow during wash cycles. DIY-friendly repair in about 15 minutes.
Cycle would complete but dishes weren't clean (not even really wet) and soap wasn't dissolving. Could hear fill at start but maybe not spraying or filling again in cycle. Thought it was the control board, but actually this was not the error. Replaced the control board and same problem arose, only new control board version actually stopped cycle with message that dishwasher couldn't fill. Looking underneath the pump had somehow become dislodged from the bottom of dishwasher and was laying on... Read more

Removed water out of basin, down to the last inch.. Watched water rise slowly, and felt temperature, warm. This told me it was supply water. Ordered replacement part, two days just as mentioned, Removed as per video. Also choose to replace the waste line check valve, to affordable not too. Working great, except the wood floor not so happy with. One thing at a time. Thanks Read more
Replaces the dispenser lever on your refrigerator's front panel. Order a new lever if yours is cracked, broken, or missing. Installs on the dispenser housing.
I had started to order the part from GE at $34.95 + shipping when I did a search and found AppliancePartsPros.com. I was able to get the same part for half of the price of GE. I placed the order and actually to my surprise received the part the very next day. I watched the video provided on-line to see how to replace the part. It took me about 10 minutes and everything is working well. Beats paying a repairman to come out on their schedule and do the same thing at, I am sure, a much higher... Read more
Fix a dishwasher that won't drain completely with this piston and nut valve assembly. Simple DIY repair when water remains in tub after cycles.
It is very simple to fix. All the blogs recommend replacement of this part but do not explain why. This is a normally open check valve that permits the water from inside the dishwasher to drain out, either once it gets too high or just general splash. When the machine drains the pump comes on and the check valve closes. If the check valve is damaged or worn (like mine was) some of the water can pump back into the machine. So really, the problem is not that the machine will not drain but... Read more
