Whirlpool Washer Bracket & Flange

The Spring Mounting Bracket is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. It is located at the bottom of the appliance, near the base. It provides a secure attachment point for the suspension springs, which help absorb vibrations and stabilize the drum during operation.

Causes of a faulty spring mounting bracket can include regular wear and tear, physical damage, or improper installation. These factors can result in issues such as excessive shaking or movement of the appliance, increased noise during operation, or unbalanced loads.

Symptoms of a bad spring mounting bracket may include:

• Excessive shaking or movement of the appliance during operation
• Increased noise or rattling sounds during the wash or drying cycle
• Unbalanced loads, causing the drum to tilt or not spin properly

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

This hinge retainer plate secures the appliance door hinge to the cabinet or door, keeping alignment and smooth operation. Replace a bent, stripped, or missing plate to stop hinge wobble and help the door close and seal properly.

• Disconnect power at the breaker; shut off gas supply
• Pull the appliance forward carefully to access the back; protect flooring
• Remove fasteners, replace the damaged support, and reuse original hardware/clips
• Keep wiring clear of sharp edges; tighten screws evenly without over-torquing and check for vibration before repositioning

The Stator is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool washing machines. It is the stationary part of the washer motor that induces a magnetic field, causing rotation in the rotor and driving the agitator or basket movement. 

Symptoms of a bad stator include: 

• The washer not agitating or spinning clothes during cycles  
• Loud grinding or knocking noises from the motor area
• The washer needs to be reset frequently
• Slow or inconsistent agitation or spin speeds

Causes of a stator failing include normal wear and tear of internal electric components over many usage cycles. Replacing with this genuine Whirlpool part helps maintain dependable washing performance.

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models. Replacing worn internal parts like the stator proactively prevents potential future washer motor issues.
