• 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.

The Screw is an OEM component compatible with Whirlpool washing machines. This screw secures the rear panel onto the cabinet frame, ensuring a sturdy connection between housing components.  Proper installation is critical for the washer's structural integrity.

Causes of a bad screw include corrosion from repeated water exposure or stresses from years of use. Loosening can occur from vibrations weakening the threads over time. 

Symptoms of a bad screw include:

• Rear panel detaching from frame opening gaps
• Increased noise and vibrations from a compromised seal  
• Stress on other connections from improper mounting points
• Potential leak paths from openings near hoses or tub areas
