WP389140 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Drive Block
The WP389140 is a genuine Whirlpool OEM drive block for large-capacity belt-drive and direct-drive top-load washers. This is a purely mechanical coupling component: it connects the inner spin basket to the transmission's drive shaft, so that when the transmission turns, the basket turns with it. Without a properly seated drive block, the connection between the motor's rotational power and the basket is lost or unreliable, even though every electrical component in the washer may be working perfectly.
Measuring approximately 2-5/16" high, this drive block is a wear component subject to gradual mechanical stress every time the washer agitates or spins. A worn or failed drive block produces a distinctive set of symptoms: the basket may spin freely without properly engaging, the washer may spin slowly and leave clothes excessively wet, or you may hear a loud knocking or banging noise during operation as the connection between the basket and drive shaft becomes loose or worn. It directly replaces 389140, AP6008836, 357782, 97360, J27-936, PS11741977, PS349903, AP2905773, WH40X180, WP389140VP, LP16171, and 2858.
Quick Answer
The WP389140 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Drive Block fixes Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Roper, Admiral, Amana, Crosley, Estate, and Inglis top-load washers with a basket that spins freely without engaging, slow spinning that leaves clothes excessively wet, or loud knocking/banging noise during operation.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer And Shut Off Water Supply Before Starting — Spanner Wrench Required Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker, and shut off the hot and cold water supply valves before beginning. Wear work gloves. Remove the washer's top and control console per your model's service instructions to access the inner tub assembly. Remove the agitator and any hardware securing the basket, which typically includes a large center nut — a spanner wrench is required to remove this nut, along with a socket and long extension for other fasteners; expect to remove a fair number of components to fully access the drive block. Lift the wash basket out to expose the drive block, which sits on the spin tube near the center of the transmission. Photograph the orientation of the old drive block and any surrounding hardware before removing it. Lift the old drive block free, and while it's accessible, inspect the drive cam nearby for wear as well, since it's commonly replaced at the same time. Slide the new WP389140 drive block into position, making sure it seats fully onto the spin tube notches, and reassemble the basket, hardware, agitator, console, and top panel in reverse order. Restore water and power, then run a test cycle through both wash and spin to confirm the basket engages properly with no unusual noise. Tools needed: multi-screwdriver, spanner wrench, socket set with long extension, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My washer basket spins freely and doesn't seem connected to anything. Is this the drive block?
Yes, this is the classic symptom of a failed drive block. Since this component is the mechanical link between the transmission's drive shaft and the inner spin basket, once it wears out or fails, the basket can spin independently without properly engaging, even though the motor and transmission are working normally.
Do I really need a spanner wrench for this repair?
Yes, on most models. Accessing the drive block requires removing a large nut that secures the basket assembly, and this nut is specifically designed to be removed with a spanner wrench rather than a standard socket. Trying to remove it without the correct tool risks damaging the nut or the surrounding components, so it's worth having one on hand before you start.
Should I replace the drive cam at the same time?
It's worth inspecting while you have the assembly open, since the drive cam sits in the same area and is commonly replaced alongside the drive block when a technician is already this far into the repair. If it shows visible wear, replacing both at once saves you from repeating this same teardown again soon after.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original dimensions and fit of the drive block originally installed in your washer.

XPARTCO W11165546 Washer Water Inlet Valve
The XPARTCO W11165546 is an aftermarket replacement washer water inlet valve assembly compatible with Maytag Bravos XL, Whirlpool Cabrio, Kenmore 700-series, and related Whirlpool-platform HE top-load washers. This 4-solenoid assembly controls the flow of hot and cold water from the household supply lines into the washer tub and dispenser compartments. It includes an integrated thermistor on the center outlet that monitors incoming water temperature and communicates it to the control board so the washer can achieve the correct wash temperature. When the valve fails — or when a single solenoid coil burns out — the washer may not fill, fill too slowly, fill with the wrong temperature, overfill, or display error codes F8E1, LF, or LO FL.
Rated 120V, 60Hz, with 2 inlet ports and 3 outlet ports, this assembly measures 5-3/8"L x 4-1/4"W x 3"H. The valve body may be blue or green in color depending on production run — both are functionally identical. It is compatible with 1/2" ID supply hoses. It directly replaces W10599423, W10758828, W10839828, W11096267, W11165546VP, WV5546, 33090105, 4545980, AP6284346, EAP12348013, PD00037668, and PS12348013. Installs in 15–25 minutes with basic hand tools.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer and Shut Off Water Before Starting Disconnect power and turn off both the hot and cold water supply valves before beginning. Pull the washer away from the wall to access the back panel. The water inlet valve is mounted on the upper rear of the washer. Photograph all wire harness connections and hose routing before disconnecting. Disconnect the two external supply hoses from the valve inlet ports using pliers to loosen any stuck connections. Disconnect the internal outlet hoses by squeezing the retaining clips and pulling free. Disconnect the wiring harness connectors from all solenoid coils and the thermistor. Unscrew the mounting hardware and remove the old valve. Install the new W11165546 valve in the same position, reconnect all internal hoses, wire harnesses, and external supply hoses in the same positions as documented. Restore water supply and power, then run a fill cycle to verify normal filling and check for leaks. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, pliers, channel-lock pliers for stubborn hose connections.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do error codes F8E1, LF, and LO FL mean on Maytag and Whirlpool washers?
F8E1 (also displayed as LF or LO FL on some models) indicates a long fill fault — the washer was unable to fill to the required water level within the expected time. The most common causes are a failed water inlet valve (solenoid coil burned out or valve seat clogged), low household water pressure, or kinked supply hoses. Before replacing the valve, confirm both supply valves are fully open, the supply hoses are not kinked, and household water pressure is adequate. If all supply conditions are good and the error persists, the water inlet valve is the most likely cause.
What is the difference between W11165546 and W11096267?
These are the same water inlet valve assembly. W11096267 was an earlier version, and W11165546 is the current updated part number. The W10599423 and W10758828 are also cross-references to earlier versions of this same valve. The W11165546VP is the Whirlpool factory-packaged version. All of these are covered by this aftermarket replacement.
Why does this valve have 4 solenoids?
Modern HE top-load washers like the Maytag Bravos XL and Whirlpool Cabrio use multiple water paths for different wash functions — hot water inlet, cold water inlet, a bleach dispenser port, and a fabric softener/recirculation port. Each path is controlled by its own independent solenoid coil on the same valve assembly. This allows the control board to independently open any combination of ports needed for a given cycle phase. When any single solenoid coil fails, only the function controlled by that coil is affected — which is why the washer might fill normally with cold water but not hot, or fail to activate only one dispenser.
Does the valve color (blue vs green) matter?
No — the blue and green valve body colors are simply the result of different production runs at the factory. Both colors are the same part number (W11165546) with identical electrical specifications, port configuration, thermistor, and dimensions. Either color will function correctly in your washer. There is no functional difference between the two.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured with 4 solenoid coils and an integrated thermistor to match the electrical specifications and port configuration of the original W11165546 water inlet valve assembly.

MDS66290824 Genuine OEM Washer Door Gasket
The Genuine OEM MDS66290824 is a factory-original door boot gasket manufactured by LG for use in LG front-load washers and washer-dryer combo units. The gasket forms the watertight seal between the door, cabinet, and tub, flexing with every door open/close cycle while keeping wash water contained inside the drum. As the rubber ages, it commonly cracks, tears, or develops mold/mildew buildup in its folds, and a compromised seal leads directly to water leaking out around the door during the wash or spin cycle.
This is a current-production part: MDS66290824. As the genuine LG part, it ships in factory black rubber matching the original color, fold pattern, and mounting groove, so it seats and seals exactly like the original.
Quick Answer
The Genuine OEM MDS66290824 Washer Door Gasket fixes LG front-load washers and washer-dryer combo units that leak water around the door, or that have a cracked, torn, or moldy door boot seal. Classic symptom: water pooling on the floor in front of the washer after a cycle, with visible cracking or gaps in the door seal.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Water leaking from around the door during the wash or spin cycle
Visible cracks, tears, or splits in the door boot rubber
Mold or mildew buildup trapped in the gasket folds that won't clean out
Door boot pulling away from its mounting groove on the cabinet or tub
Musty odor coming from the washer even after cleaning
Door won't seal fully closed due to a warped or damaged gasket

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer Before Starting Disconnect power before beginning. Open the door and locate the large outer retaining band (spring clamp) holding the gasket to the front cabinet panel — release it with pliers or a flat-blade screwdriver and pull the gasket's outer lip free from the cabinet opening. Working around the boot, fold the gasket into the drum opening to access the inner retaining band securing it to the tub; release this band as well and remove the old gasket. Check for and transfer any small parts such as the drain/pressure sensor port fitting if your model routes one through the boot. Fit the new MDS66290824 gasket's inner lip into the tub-side mounting groove first, working it evenly around the full circumference, then reinstall the inner retaining band. Fold the gasket back out and seat the outer lip into the cabinet opening, aligning it evenly, then reinstall the outer retaining band. Restore power and run a cycle with the door closed to check for leaks around the full perimeter of the seal. Tools needed: pliers or a flat-blade screwdriver, and a spring clamp tool if your model uses a wire-spring outer band.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is MDS66290824 the same as MDS66290803?
MDS66290824 is the current genuine LG gasket, and it supersedes the earlier MDS66290803 revision, which is no longer produced new. If your washer's parts diagram or old gasket shows MDS66290803, this MDS66290824 is the correct current replacement — LG has updated the part number but the fit and function for your model remain the same.
My washer is leaking water from the door — is this the part I need?
In most cases, yes. A worn, cracked, or torn door boot gasket is the most common cause of water leaking around the door on a front-load washer. Inspect the gasket's folds closely for splits or debris (coins, small items) caught in the seal, since a foreign object trapped in the boot can also prevent a full seal without the gasket itself being damaged.
Do I need to transfer any parts from my old gasket?
Check whether your model routes a drain hose fitting, pressure sensor port, or door lock striker through the boot itself. If so, that fitting typically transfers from the old gasket to the new one, or is a separate reusable part — inspect your old gasket carefully before disposal in case a component needs to be moved over.
Can I clean mold out of the gasket instead of replacing it?
Light surface mold can often be cleaned with a diluted bleach or vinegar solution and a soft brush, and running the washer's tub-clean cycle regularly helps prevent it from returning. However, if mold has caused the rubber to degrade, crack, or lose its seal, cleaning won't restore a proper watertight fit — replacement is the reliable fix once the gasket itself is damaged.

XPARTCO DC97-15459H Washer Water Valve
The XPARTCO DC97-15459H is an aftermarket replacement water inlet valve assembly for Samsung top-load washers. This valve controls the flow of water into the washer from the household supply line, opening its internal solenoids to admit water as the cycle calls for it and closing once the correct fill level is reached, ensuring each cycle gets accurate, consistent water flow.
Rated AC 110/120V, 60Hz, measuring approximately 8.7"L x 3.4"W x 2.5"H. Common failure causes include mineral or sediment buildup inside the valve body and general electrical wear in the solenoid coils. A failing valve produces a clear set of symptoms: the washer not filling with water, water leaking near the valve connections, or inconsistent water levels during the wash cycle. It directly replaces AP5621731, PS4220862, and EAP4220862.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO DC97-15459H Washer Water Valve fixes Samsung top-load washers that aren't filling with water, are leaking near the valve, or have inconsistent water levels during the wash cycle. AC 110/120V, 60Hz. Replaces 3282688, 33090068, AP5621731, ASM254408, EAP4220862, PD00007209, PS4220862. Not the same as the similarly-numbered DC97-15459G valve, which is a separate part with its own cross-reference set used on other Samsung models.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Washer not filling with water

Installation Notes
⚠️ Shut Off Water Supply And Unplug Washer Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker, and shut off the water supply before beginning. Wear work gloves. Remove the back panel of the washer to access the valve. Photograph the wiring and hose connections before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the old valve by unscrewing it from its mount, then disconnect the electrical connector and water lines. Position the new DC97-15459H valve in place and secure it with screws. Reconnect the water lines and the electrical connector fully. Restore the water supply and power, then test the machine to confirm the washer fills correctly with no leaking at the connections. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, pliers, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My washer isn't filling with water. Is this the right part?
Yes, this is the most direct symptom of a failed water inlet valve. Since this valve is what admits water from your household supply into the washer, a solenoid failure or internal blockage can prevent any water from entering at all, stopping the wash cycle from proceeding.
Is this the same as DC97-15459G?
No, these are two separate Samsung valve part numbers with different cross-reference sets, despite the similar numbering. Always confirm the exact part number from your washer's parts diagram or the sticker on your old valve rather than assuming based on a close number match.
Should I do a visual inspection before replacing the valve?
Yes, it's a good first step. A simple visual inspection can help you determine if the valve is clogged with sediment or physically damaged before you commit to a full replacement, and regular maintenance can help prolong the life of your washer's water system overall.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Samsung OEM part, but is manufactured to match the solenoid design, flow rate, and connection type of the original DC97-15459H valve used in compatible Samsung top-load washers.
