Agitator and Components
The agitator is central to the washing action in top-load washing machines, creating the motion that cleans clothes. RepairKE offers several agitator-related spare parts, including agitator dogs (directional cogs) that allow one-way rotation. These cogs, often made of high-quality plastic, wear out over time, causing the agitator to rotate improperly. The agitator cam kit, which includes the cam and cogs, is another critical component for ensuring smooth operation. A complete agitator assembly may be needed for severe damage. These parts are compatible with brands like Whirlpool and Kenmore.
Drain Pump and Motor Assembly
The drain pump expels water from the washing machine during and after the wash cycle. RepairKE stocks genuine OEM drain pumps, such as the LG 4681EA2001T, which is compatible with LG and Kenmore models. A faulty pump can lead to draining issues or leaks, often requiring tools like a Phillips screwdriver and pliers for replacement. The pump filter assembly, like the Samsung DC97-16991A, prevents debris from clogging the system, maintaining efficient drainage.
Suspension Rods and Springs
Suspension rods and springs stabilize the inner tub, absorbing vibrations during wash and spin cycles. Worn rods can cause excessive shaking or loud noises. RepairKE provides kits like the Whirlpool W11130362, which includes four rods, springs, and suspension ball cups. These are essential for top-load washers from brands like Whirlpool and Maytag, ensuring the tub remains balanced and preventing damage to the machine’s cabinet.
Door Strike and Lid Lock
The door strike and lid lock are safety mechanisms that secure the washer door or lid during operation, preventing leaks or injuries. A damaged door strike, such as the Whirlpool W11457841, may cause the washer to stop mid-cycle or fail to start. RepairKE’s lid lock kits, like the GE WH08X37938, are designed for precise fit with GE and other compatible models, ensuring secure closure and reliable operation.
Drive Belt
The drive belt transfers power from the motor to the drum or agitator, enabling spinning and washing motions. A worn or broken belt can result in spin or washplate issues. RepairKE offers belts like the Whirlpool WPW10006384, which fits various top-load models. Installation requires access to the motor and pulleys, often using basic tools like a screwdriver. Regular inspection of the belt’s condition can prevent unexpected breakdowns.
Motor Coupling
The motor coupling connects the motor to the transmission in direct-drive washers, protecting both components from overload. A failed coupling, such as the Whirlpool 285753A, can cause the washer to fill but not agitate or spin. RepairKE’s motor couplings are reinforced with metal sleeves for durability, compatible with brands like Whirlpool and Kenmore, and are straightforward to replace with minimal tools.
Water Inlet Valve
The water inlet valve controls water flow into the washer during fill cycles. A malfunctioning valve, like the LG 5220FR2006H, can lead to overfilling, underfilling, or no water flow. RepairKE provides multi-solenoid valves for precise water regulation, compatible with LG, Whirlpool, and other brands. Replacement typically involves disconnecting hoses and electrical connections, requiring a nut driver and pliers.
Door Boot Gasket
The door boot gasket forms a watertight seal between the drum and the door in front-load washers. A worn or torn gasket, such as the LG AGM30030702, can cause leaks, compromising cleaning performance. RepairKE’s gaskets are made of durable rubber and designed for easy installation, fitting models from LG, Frigidaire, and Samsung. Regular maintenance of this part prevents water damage to surrounding areas.
Clutch Assembly
The clutch assembly manages the transition between wash and spin cycles, engaging the drum for spinning. A worn clutch, like the Whirlpool W10721967, can cause issues with spinning or agitation. RepairKE’s clutch kits include components like the cam ring, basket drive gear, and pulley, ensuring compatibility with Whirlpool and Maytag washers. Installation may require disassembling the transmission area.
Control Board and Timer
The control board and timer act as the washer’s brain, coordinating cycles and settings. A faulty control board, such as the GE WH12X27941, can disrupt cycle progression or cause error codes. RepairKE stocks control boards and timers for brands like GE, Samsung, and Whirlpool, ensuring precise operation. Replacing these parts often requires careful handling of electrical connections and model-specific programming.
Hoses and Tubing
Hoses transport water into and out of the washer, connecting to the plumbing system and internal components. Damaged hoses, like the Midea 12138000009813 drain hose, can cause leaks or poor drainage. RepairKE offers durable hoses for various models, ensuring proper water flow and preventing leaks. Regular inspection and replacement of worn hoses are critical for maintaining washer efficiency.
Weight Balancer Module
The weight balancer module, such as the Samsung DC67-00999A, stabilizes the drum during high-speed spins, reducing vibrations and noise. A damaged or loose balancer can cause excessive movement, leading to wear on other components. RepairKE provides these modules for Samsung washers, sold individually for targeted repairs, ensuring a quieter and more stable operation.
Washer Cleaner
Washer cleaners, like the Whirlpool W10135699 Affresh tablets, remove odor-causing residue and maintain hygiene. RepairKE’s cleaners are septic-safe and compatible with all washer brands, offering an effective alternative to bleach. Regular use, typically monthly, prevents buildup in the drum and hoses, ensuring optimal cleaning performance.
Pedestals and Accessories
Pedestals, such as the Samsung WE402NP, elevate front-load washers for easier loading and provide storage for detergents. RepairKE offers pedestals compatible with Samsung, GE, and Whirlpool models, made of durable stainless steel with smooth-gliding drawers. These accessories enhance user convenience and are easy to install with included hardware.
