This touch-up paint restores small chips, scratches and nicks in painted appliance surfaces for a cleaner, like-new appearance. It's ideal for hiding minor cosmetic damage without repainting the whole panel. What it does:

• Covers small chips, scratches and scuffs on painted appliance surfaces
• Helps prevent bare metal exposure that can lead to rusting of small areas
• Restores color and gloss to localized damage for improved appearance
• Applies to control panels, doors and trim where finish is worn

• Shake well before use and apply sparingly with a fine brush, cotton swab or toothpick
• Allow finish to dry fully between light coats for best color match
• Work in a well-ventilated area and avoid inhaling fumes
• Keep out of reach of children and follow local disposal regulations for paint

Power screw hub is a replacement drive hub that secures the washer's drive screw/agitator to the transmission, helping restore proper agitation and reduce slipping. Fits applications where a worn or broken hub causes drive loss. What it does:

• Transfers rotational force from the drive screw/agitator to the transmission so the washer can agitate or spin.
• Replaces stripped or worn splines that allow the agitator or drive screw to slip under load.
• Common symptoms it can help fix: agitator or drum won't engage, intermittent agitation, grinding or squeaking during cycles.
• Install replacement if splines are visibly damaged or if the hub no longer holds the drive assembly securely.

• Disconnect electrical power (and water supply if applicable) before beginning any repair.
• Remove agitator/drive components; use the correct tools to avoid further spline damage.
• Inspect mating splines and fasteners; replace any damaged hardware and clean the area before installation.
• After reassembly, run a short test cycle to confirm normal operation.

This precision thrust race serves as the hardened bearing surface for axial loads in a rotating mechanism. Replacing a worn race reduces friction and noise, helping restore smooth, consistent motion and protect companion thrust bearings and washers from accelerated wear.

• Provides the hardened bearing surface for a thrust bearing assembly
• Supports axial load and helps maintain proper end-play in the mechanism
• Reduces friction to allow smoother rotation under load
• Wear may present as grinding/scraping noises, rough or binding motion, excessive axial play, or visible scoring

• Disconnect power and shut off water/gas before servicing
• Access the thrust-bearing area; note the order and orientation of races, bearings, and washers for reassembly
• Clean mating surfaces; replace any worn companion parts and lubricate only if specified by the service documentation
• Seat the new race fully and verify free movement by hand before reassembly and testing

This mount plate is a stamped metal bracket that secures a component inside the appliance, helping keep parts aligned and reducing movement. Replace a damaged or bent plate to restore a stable, secure installation. What it does:

• Provides a stable mounting point for internal components to prevent shifting or sagging
• Helps reduce vibration and rattling caused by loose or worn mounting surfaces
• Keeps electrical and mechanical parts properly aligned for reliable operation
• Common symptom: visible looseness, noise, or component movement during use

• Disconnect power and unplug the appliance before starting any repair
• Verify the plate orientation and mounting hole alignment with your appliance's service diagram
• Use the original screws or OEM-specified fasteners and tighten securely but do not overtighten

This sprocket is the replacement drive gear that helps transfer motor movement to the appliance's drive system, restoring reliable rotation and timing. It's a direct-fit component used in the unit's drivetrain to maintain proper mechanical engagement. What it does:

• Engages with the drive chain/belt or related components to transmit rotational force from the motor
• Maintains proper timing and alignment of moving parts for consistent operation
• Worn or broken sprockets can cause skipping, slipping, noisy operation, or loss of drive
• Replacing a damaged sprocket helps eliminate drivetrain play and irregular movement

• One sprocket

• Disconnect power (and water supply if applicable) before beginning any repair
• Inspect mating components (chain/belt, bearings, bushings) and replace if worn to prevent premature failure
• Installation may require basic hand tools and lifting or support of the assembly; follow the appliance service manual for disassembly/reassembly steps

This latch plate secures the appliance door to the cabinet, providing the positive engagement needed for proper door closure and operation. It helps restore a door that won't stay closed or won't trigger door switches. What it does:

• Acts as the door strike that the latch engages to hold the door shut
• Ensures the door closes firmly so door switches can register a closed state
• Can stop issues like a loose or misaligned door, or a door that won't remain closed
• Restores proper alignment and engagement without replacing the full latch assembly

• Disconnect power (and gas if applicable) before servicing
• Remove the door or access panel to reach the latch area
• Inspect related latch components and alignment; replace only the damaged part
• Use basic hand tools; tighten fasteners securely but avoid overtightening

This drive chain connects a washer's motor/transmission to the agitator or drum, transferring rotational motion so the wash basket spins and agitates properly. Replaces a worn or broken chain to restore normal drive function. What it does:

• Transfers motor torque to the transmission/agitator so the tub spins and agitates
• Commonly replaced when the washer won't agitate or spin despite motor running
• Replaces stretched, rusted, or broken chain that causes slipping or unusual noise
• Works as a direct mechanical link—no electrical components involved

• Install with the appliance unplugged and water supply turned off; follow OEM service manual for alignment and tension
• May require partial disassembly of cabinet, pulley, or transmission; have basic hand tools ready
• Inspect sprockets, tensioners, and related components and replace if excessively worn

This safety switch actuator engages the door/interlock switch so the appliance senses a closed, secure door and will run as intended. Replacing a worn actuator restores reliable door engagement and control-system signaling. What it does:

• Moves the door latch into position to trip the appliance's safety/interlock switch
• Ensures the control board senses a closed door so cycles can start or continue
• Common symptom: appliance won't start or stops when the door is shut or nudged
• Common symptom: door won't fully latch or feels loose when closing

• One safety switch actuator

• Disconnect power (and water if applicable) before starting any repair
• Remove exterior panels or door assembly as needed to access the actuator; keep fasteners organized
• Verify switch alignment with the actuator and test operation before reassembly
• Wear gloves and eye protection
