This 10-32 x 3/8 machine screw secures panels and components in many appliances where a small, threaded fastener is required. It replaces stripped, missing, or loose screws to restore stable assembly and reduce vibration. What it does:

• Fastens panels, brackets, and small components using 10-32 unified threads
• Restores secure mounting when screws are missing, stripped, or loose
• Helps stop rattling, misalignment, and intermittent part contact caused by loose fasteners
• Works wherever a 10-32 x 3/8 machine screw is specified by the manufacturer

• Disconnect power or unplug the appliance before servicing
• Use the correct size screwdriver or nut driver to avoid stripping the head
• Tighten until snug; avoid over-tightening which can strip threads or crack plastic
• Replace with the same size and thread spec to ensure proper fit and function

The Suspension Spring is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool washing machines. It is a critical component that helps to support and stabilize the outer tub during the wash and spin cycles, absorbing vibrations and minimizing excessive movement.  

Symptoms of a bad suspension spring include:

• Excessive shaking or vibrating during the wash or spin cycle
• Loud banging or rattling noises from the washer
• The washer moving or "walking" across the floor during operation
• Leaks or potential damage to other components due to increased stress and movement

Causes of suspension spring failure can range from general wear and tear over time and exposure to high-speed spinning, to physical damage from overloading or unbalanced loads.

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

The Washer Filter Plug Kit is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool washing machines. This kit includes the necessary components to seal the filter housing and prevent leaks, ensuring that the washer operates efficiently. The filter plug helps to maintain the proper water flow and filtration within the washer, preventing debris from clogging the system and ensuring clean and effective washing cycles. The kit includes 4 plugs and replaces the round filter under the basket.

Over time, the filter plug can become worn or damaged due to continuous exposure to water, detergent, and the mechanical stress of the wash cycles. Improper installation or accidental impact during maintenance can also cause the plug to fail. These issues can lead to leaks and reduced efficiency of the washing machine.

Symptoms of a bad washer filter plug include:

• Water leaking from the bottom of the washer
• The washer not draining properly
• Visible cracks or damage to the filter plug
• Excessive noise during the wash cycle
