Roper Band Parts

The Clutch Band and Lining Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. It contains the clutch band and clutch lining components essential for proper transmission of power from the washer motor to its drum during the spin cycle. The clutch band and lining allow for a controlled amount of slippage to safely extract water from clothes without damage. 

Symptoms of a bad clutch band and lining include: 

• Excessive noise or vibration during spin
• Slow or ineffective spinning 
• The drum failing to spin or “locking up”
• Premature wear of other transmission parts

Over time and with heavy use, these components can wear down. If slipping or damage is detected, it’s important to replace the kit to avoid potential transmission repairs.

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

The Support Bracket is an OEM part for GE ovens, designed to provide stability and support for the broiling element. This bracket is essential for ensuring the broiling element is securely positioned at the top of the oven, allowing for even heat distribution and optimal cooking performance when broiling foods.

Causes of damage to the support bracket often involve high heat exposure, accidental impacts during cleaning or cooking, or general wear and tear over time. 

Symptoms of a bad Support Bracket include:

• The broiling element hanging lower than usual or touching the oven cavity, which can affect cooking performance and potentially damage the oven's interior.
• Unstable or loose broiling element, leading to uneven cooking or broiling.
• Visible signs of wear, damage, or corrosion on the bracket itself, indicating it may no longer provide adequate support.

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

Includes two bumpers and two locking clips. You will use one or the other depending on hole size.

This retainer ring is a genuine OEM replacement part sourced directly from the manufacturer for use on front load washing machines to hold the boot seal in place. The boot seal is the gasket that seals the washing machine when the door is closed to prevent water from leaking. The retainer ring is located flush against the boot seal and has either a spring clamp or screw clamp that secures it. Over time, this ring may become damaged due to the washing machine's normal use and age. If the ring is not tight, the washing machine could leak when in use. If water is coming from the door, it is a good idea to inspect and replace the retainer ring and possibly the boot as well.Unplug the washing machine to prevent electrocution. Remove the front panel, the detergent dispenser, and the kickplate to access the retainer ring. Locate the clamp on the ring and loosen it. Remove the retainer ring and set it to the side. Inspect the boot and then install the new retainer ring. Tighten the clamp and reassemble the washing machine. This retainer ring is sold as an individual unit. It is designed specifically for washing machines manufactured by Whirlpool.
