Whirlpool Washer Dryer Combo Screws, Nuts, Washers

The Screw is an OEM component compatible with Whirlpool washing machines. This screw secures the rear bulkhead to the tub, ensuring vibrations are reduced through solid mounting points. Properly installed screws dampen oscillating movement.

Causes of a bad screw include damage from water exposure like corrosion or breakage from stress concentrations if the tub bangs around during imbalanced loads. 

Symptoms of a bad screw include:

• Loose or detached rear bulkhead allowing side-to-side play
• Excessive noise and shaking felt through the surrounding walls   
• Development of micro-cracks around screw holes over time
• Potential leak paths if holes are no longer sealed 

This Whirlpool replacement screw restores a stable suspension system. It is compatible with additional brands like Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

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

This OEM Whirlpool replacement screw helps maintain a tight panel closure. It is compatible with additional brands like Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

This replacement nut threads onto a stud or bolt to clamp appliance parts securely. Replace a stripped, rusted, or missing nut to restore a tight, rattle-free fit.

• Clamps components together by tightening onto a matching stud or bolt
• Helps maintain alignment and resists loosening from vibration and heat cycles
• Replaces damaged, corroded, or missing hardware during service
• Symptoms include loose or rattling parts, assemblies backing off, or difficulty keeping components secured

• Disconnect power (and shut off gas, if applicable) before servicing
• Match the thread type/direction to the original; start by hand to avoid cross-threading
• Tighten snugly; follow any model-specific torque guidance and avoid overtightening
• Inspect companion bolts/studs and washers; replace any worn or damaged hardware

This hex nut secures fasteners on compatible Whirlpool appliances to keep panels and components held firmly in place. It's a simple replacement that stops loose parts and restores proper fit and function. What it does:

• Threads onto corresponding bolts or studs to lock panels, brackets, or assemblies.
• Stops vibration-related loosening that can cause rattling or misaligned parts.
• Helps re-secure components after service or collision damage.
• Use when the original nut is stripped, missing, or damaged.

• Disconnect power and unplug the appliance before servicing electrical components.
• Use the correct size socket or wrench to avoid rounding the nut.
• Tighten securely but do not overtighten; replace with matching thread and grade if specified by the OEM.
• If the original fastener was seized or damaged, inspect the mating bolt/stud and replace as needed.

This agitate gear washer is a small flat washer used with the washer's agitate gear to ensure proper spacing and smooth engagement. It helps maintain correct gear alignment so the agitator can move laundry effectively. What it does:

• Provides a stable spacer between the agitate gear and mating components to prevent excess play
• Helps maintain correct gear alignment for consistent agitator movement
• Reduces metal-on-metal contact that can cause noise or premature wear
• Commonly replaced when the agitator feels loose, makes grinding noise, or causes uneven agitation

• High-level replacement: remove agitator/gear per service manual to access washer; reinstall in original orientation
• Use manufacturer torque/settings for reassembly; do not overtighten
• Inspect adjacent gear and splines for wear; replace any damaged components
• Disconnect power and follow safety procedures before servicing the washer

This block restraint is a small mounting block that secures internal components and limits movement to reduce noise and wear. It restores proper alignment and keeps parts from shifting during operation. What it does:

• Anchors and stabilizes nearby components to prevent excessive movement and vibration
• Helps reduce rattling or banging noises caused by loose internal parts
• Keeps parts aligned to prevent premature wear or abrasion
• Supports safe, reliable operation by holding components in the intended position

• One block restraint

• Disconnect power (and water for washers/dishwashers) before beginning any repair
• Access the mounting location by removing the appropriate panel(s); basic hand tools typically required
• Remove the old block and replace with the new restraint; ensure correct orientation and secure fit
• Inspect surrounding fasteners and mounting surfaces; do not overtighten plastic parts
