Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet before beginning. Wear work gloves. Remove the back panel of the washer using a socket wrench set, taking out the securing screws and carefully lifting the panel away. Locate the drive belt near the motor, at the bottom of the washer. Use a screwdriver to loosen the tensioner, then gently slide the old belt off the pulleys. Fit the new WH01X24697 belt around the pulleys in the same path as the old one, then re-tension it with the tensioner. Reinstall the back panel and secure its screws. Restore power and run a test cycle to confirm the basket spins smoothly with no unusual noise. Tools needed: socket wrench set, screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My washer's basket isn't spinning. Is this the belt I need?
Yes, this is one of the most common symptoms of a failed drive belt. Since this belt is what transmits rotation from the drive motor to the basket, a stretched, cracked, or broken belt can leave the motor running while the basket doesn't spin correctly or at all.
Is this a difficult repair?
No, it's a straightforward repair for a confident DIYer with basic tools. It involves removing the back panel to access the belt near the motor, loosening the tensioner, and swapping the belt — no specialized skills required.
Is this the same as WH01X24180 or WH01X27538?
No, these are separate GE/Hotpoint drive belts with their own distinct 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 belt rather than assuming based on a close number match.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by GE to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original length, material, and pulley fit of the drive belt originally installed in your washer.

XPARTCO 5220FR2008F Washer Water Valve
The XPARTCO 5220FR2008F is an aftermarket replacement water inlet and dispenser valve assembly for LG front-load washers, and also fits select Kenmore models. This valve connects to your home's water source and to the washer's solenoid wiring, controlling exactly how much water enters the tub and ensuring the correct fill level for each cycle. The assembly has 1 inlet and 4 outlets.
Rated 120V, 60Hz. 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 continuing to fill even after it should be full, filling slowly, overfilling, or leaking water into the drum when the washer is off. On some LG models, this can also trigger an FE error code specifically tied to the fill process. It directly replaces AP4445613, 1268512, 5221ER1002B, AH3527431, EA3527431, and PS3527431.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO 5220FR2008F Washer Water Valve fixes LG and select Kenmore front-load washers that keep filling past full, fill slowly, overfill, or leak water into the drum when off — sometimes accompanied by an FE error code. 120V, 60Hz, 1 inlet, 4 outlets. Replaces AP4445613, 1268512, 5221ER1002B, AH3527431, EA3527431, PS3527431. Some LG steam washers use this valve alongside a separate hot water valve — if only one side is failing, you may only need to replace the specific valve at fault rather than the whole group.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Washer continues filling with water even after it should be full
Washer filling slowly
Washer overfilling
Water leaking into the drum when the washer is turned off
FE error code displayed during the fill portion of the cycle

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. Access on most LG front-load washers requires removing the top cover to reach the water valve assembly and its electrical connections and hoses. On models with multiple valves (some LG steam washers use one separate hot water valve plus a group of cold water valves), identify specifically which valve is failing before removing anything — check your old valve's printed part number and compare it against a reference photo, since several LG valves look very similar. Photograph the wiring and hose connections before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the electrical connector and hose from the failing valve, remove its mounting screws, and pull it free. Install the new 5220FR2008F in the same position, reconnect the hose and electrical connector fully, and secure the mounting screws. Restore the water supply and power, then run a full test cycle to confirm correct fill behavior with no leaking or error codes. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, pliers, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My washer shows an FE error code. Is this the valve I need?
Possibly. One customer reported an FE error appearing while the machine was still "filling," which pointed to one of the hot or cold water valves not working correctly. If your FE error consistently appears during the fill portion of the cycle, this valve is a reasonable place to start troubleshooting.
My washer has more than one water valve. Do I need to replace all of them?
Not necessarily. Some LG steam washers use a separate hot water valve plus a group of valves fed from the cold water main, and it's common for only one specific valve in that group to actually be bad. One customer confirmed this exact setup, testing and replacing only the single failing valve rather than the entire group, which resolved their issue.
How do I make sure I'm ordering the correct valve, since several look similar?
Check the part number printed directly on your old valve and compare it, along with a photo if available, against the listing before ordering. One customer specifically noted that several LG valves looked alike, and having a clear reference photo was what let them positively identify the correct replacement.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine LG OEM part, but is manufactured to match the solenoid design, inlet/outlet configuration, and electrical rating of the original 5220FR2008F valve used in compatible LG and Kenmore front-load washers.

XPARTCO W11168740 Washer Water Valve (Cold Side)
The XPARTCO W11168740 is an aftermarket replacement cold water inlet valve for Whirlpool-built top-load washers, located on the top back of the cabinet where the hot and cold supply hoses connect. Unlike its companion hot-side valve (sold separately as W11168743, a single-solenoid design), this cold valve uses two internal solenoid coils in one blue-bodied housing. When the control calls for a cold fill, it energizes the appropriate solenoid to open the water path; once the correct level is reached, it closes again.
Because it's a dedicated cold-only valve, a failure here produces a distinctive symptom: cold-only fills stop working, slow down dramatically, or don't stop when they should, while hot fills (governed by the separate hot valve) continue working independently. Rated 120V, 60Hz, with push-on outlet connections sealed by rubber grommets. Common failure causes include mineral or sediment buildup that prevents the valve from sealing, a burned-out solenoid coil, or a worn seal at the outlet connection. It directly replaces WPW10240949, W10240949, W10921514, 33390069, 4546379, AP6285450, PD00038781, and PS12348073.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO W11168740 Washer Water Valve (Cold Side) fixes Whirlpool-built top-load washers where cold water won't fill, fills slowly, keeps filling and won't stop, leaks, or throws a fill-related error code — while hot water fills normally. Blue-bodied, 2-solenoid cold-only valve, 120V, 60Hz, push-on outlet with rubber grommets. Replaces WPW10240949, W10240949, W10921514, 33390069, 4546379, AP6285450, PD00038781, PS12348073. This is the cold-side valve only — the companion hot-side valve is sold separately as W11168743.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Washer won't fill with cold water while hot water fills normally
Cold water fills much more slowly than it used to
Washer keeps filling with cold water and won't stop, leading to overfill
Water leaking at the cold connection point
Fill-related error code displayed on the control panel
Cycle stalling at the fill step and never advancing to wash
Cold wash or cold rinse cycles specifically affected while other cycles run fine
Water pooling underneath or behind the washer near the cold supply connection

Installation Notes
⚠️ Shut Off Water Supply And Unplug Washer Before Starting — Have A Towel Ready Unplug the washer or shut off its circuit breaker, and shut off both the hot and cold water supply valves before beginning. Wear work gloves. Disconnect the cold water supply hose from the back of the valve first — have a towel or shallow pan ready, since residual water will spill out. Remove the screws securing the top panel (a 1/4" nut driver or socket handles most models), then slide the panel back and lift it off to access the valve assembly from inside the cabinet. Photograph the wiring connections before disconnecting anything, since the hot and cold valves sit next to each other and it's easy to cross a wire. Disconnect the electrical connector(s) from the old cold valve, disconnect the push-on outlet hose (check the rubber grommet for wear and replace it if it looks flattened or cracked), remove the two mounting screws holding the valve, and pull it free — leave the hot valve (W11168743) undisturbed if it isn't also being replaced. Install the new W11168740 in the same position, secure the mounting screws, reconnect the electrical connector(s), and press the outlet hose back onto its fitting with the grommet properly seated. Reattach the cold water supply hose, tightening securely by hand plus a partial turn with pliers. Reinstall the top panel, restore the water supply, and check every connection you touched for leaks before restoring power. Run a short cycle and confirm cold water fills at the normal rate, and stops when it should, with no leaking underneath or behind the washer. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver or socket, Phillips screwdriver, pliers, towel or shallow pan, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Cold water won't fill but hot water works fine. Is this the right part?
Yes — that's exactly the symptom pattern this valve addresses. Since your washer uses separate hot and cold valves rather than one combined valve, a fault on the cold side only affects cold fills while the hot valve keeps working independently. If cold-specific cycles are the ones failing while hot cycles are unaffected, this cold-side valve is the correct part to replace.
How can I tell this valve apart from the hot-side valve just by looking at it?
This cold valve has a blue body and two internal solenoid coils, while the companion hot-side valve (W11168743) is a single-solenoid design. If you're staring at the old valve trying to confirm which one you're removing, the color and solenoid count are a quick visual check.
Do I need to replace both the hot and cold valves at the same time?
Not necessarily. Since these are independent single-function valves, you only need to replace the one that has actually failed. If only cold fills are affected, replacing this W11168740 valve alone is sufficient. Some people choose to replace both while the top panel is already off, especially on an older washer, but it isn't required.
My washer keeps filling with cold water and won't stop. Is that dangerous?
It can lead to overflow and water damage if left unaddressed, so it's worth shutting off the water supply at the wall if this happens rather than waiting. A valve that won't stop filling usually means a worn internal seal is no longer sealing shut when the solenoid de-energizes, letting water continue flowing. This valve is the correct replacement for that symptom.
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 to match the dual-solenoid design, connection type, and dimensions of the original W11168740 cold water valve used in compatible Whirlpool, Maytag, and Kenmore top-load washers.

Genuine OEM WH03X32217 Washer Motor Pulley
The WH03X32217 is a genuine OEM 1/2 HP motor pulley and nut from GE for GE, Hotpoint, Kenmore, and RCA washers. The pulley mounts on the motor shaft and carries the drive belt that transfers the motor's power to the drum, and the nut secures it to the shaft. A pulley that cracks, wears, or strips its threads can slip on the shaft, squeal, or stop driving the belt, so the drum turns poorly or not at all.
This is a genuine OEM part, not an aftermarket equivalent, so the fit and the shaft connection match the original. This pulley is for the 1/2 HP motor. Washers with the smaller 1/3 HP motor use a different pulley, so match the part before you order.
Quick Answer
The Genuine OEM WH03X32217 Motor Pulley and Nut fixes a GE-built washer whose 1/2 HP motor pulley is cracked, worn, or has stripped threads, causing a loud squeal, belt slipping, or a drum that won't turn. Genuine OEM from GE Appliances. Classic symptom: the motor runs but the drum turns weakly or not at all, often with a squealing or slipping noise.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Loud squealing from the motor and belt area
Drum not turning, or turning weakly, while the motor runs
Cracked, worn, or damaged plastic pulley
Stripped pulley threads or a pulley loose on the motor shaft
Drive belt slipping or wearing quickly
Cross Reference Information
Part numbers can change over a product's lifecycle as manufacturers update designs or release new appliance models. For your convenience, we've included any known superseded, alternate, or cross-reference part numbers that match this item.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Power Before Installing Unplug the washer and turn off the water supply before starting. Following your model's service guide, remove the panel needed to reach the motor and drive belt. Release the belt from the old pulley, then remove the nut holding the pulley to the motor shaft and take the pulley off. Fit the new pulley on the shaft, secure it with the nut, and refit the belt. Check that the belt sits correctly and is not worn, since a worn belt or transmission pulley can cause the same symptoms. Replace the panel, restore power and water, and run a short cycle to confirm the drum turns smoothly. Common tools are pliers, screwdrivers, and a socket set.
Frequently Asked Questions
My washer squeals and the drum won't turn. Is this the part I need?
It can be. A cracked or worn motor pulley can slip and squeal. Inspect the pulley for cracks, wear, or damaged threads, and check the belt and transmission pulley at the same time, since they can fail together.
Is this the right pulley for a 1/2 HP or a 1/3 HP motor?
This one is for the 1/2 HP motor. Washers with a 1/3 HP motor use a different pulley, so check your parts diagram or contact our support team with your model number.
Does it come with the nut?
GE lists this part as a motor pulley and nut. Contact us if you need to confirm what's in the package for your order.
Is this a genuine GE part?
Yes. This is a genuine OEM part from GE Appliances, not an aftermarket equivalent.

XPARTCO DC97-16350V Washer Suspension Rod Kit (Set of 4)
The XPARTCO DC97-16350V is an aftermarket replacement washer suspension rod kit (set of 4) compatible with select Samsung top-load washers in the WA48, WA50, WA52, and WA54 series. The suspension rods are spring-loaded shock-absorbing rods that connect the outer tub to the top of the washer cabinet, suspending the tub and dampening the vibrations generated during agitation and high-speed spin cycles. All four rods work together to keep the tub centered and stable — when one or more rods weaken, break, or lose their spring tension, the tub swings off-center and strikes the cabinet walls, causing violent shaking, banging, error code dc (out of balance), UE imbalance errors, and progressive damage to the washer cabinet and internal components.
Each rod is 27.5 inches in overall length and is constructed from spring steel with a plastic top cap and bottom cup that clip into the tub and cabinet mounting points. The kit includes all 4 suspension rods — always replace all four at the same time since the rods wear at the same rate. Installs in 20–30 minutes — no special tools required. Note: rods are coated with grease — wear gloves during installation.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO DC97-16350V Washer Suspension Rod Kit fixes Samsung top-load washers that vibrate violently, bang loudly, walk across the floor, display dc or UE imbalance error codes, or stop mid-cycle during spin. Set of 4 rods, 27.5" overall length, spring steel. Replace all 4 at the same time. Wear gloves — rods are greased. Compatible with Samsung WA48, WA50, WA52, and WA54 series. Replaces DC97-16350V, AP6975426, EAP12740434, PS12740434, ASM34760, PD00071611
Common Problems This Kit Fixes
Washer vibrating violently or shaking excessively during the spin cycle
Loud banging or thumping — tub striking the cabinet walls during spin
Washer "walking" or moving across the floor during high-speed spin
Error code dc displayed — Samsung out-of-balance error during spin
Error code UE displayed — unbalanced load error the washer cannot correct
Washer repeatedly stopping and rebalancing the load without completing the spin cycle
Visible broken, detached, or sagging suspension rod visible inside the cabinet
Rattling or clunking noise during agitation — tub no longer centered

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer and Shut Off Water Before Starting — Wear Gloves Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before beginning. Wear work gloves throughout — the suspension rods are coated with grease. Remove the lid of the washer and the top panel (typically secured by screws under the lid hinge covers and at the rear corners). With the top panel removed, the four suspension rods are visible, each running from a mounting point on the tub rim up to a hook or bracket at the top corners of the cabinet frame. Note the orientation and attachment method of each rod before removing. Unhook the top of the old rod from the cabinet bracket and lift the bottom cup off the tub mounting pin. Install each new DC97-16350V rod by seating the bottom cup onto the tub mounting pin and hooking the top over the cabinet bracket. Replace all four rods before reassembling. Reinstall the top panel and lid, restore power and water, then run a spin cycle to verify smooth, stable operation. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver; no special tools required for the rods themselves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do the suspension rods do?
The suspension rods are spring-loaded shock absorbers that hang the outer washer tub from the top corners of the cabinet frame. They suspend the tub in the center of the cabinet and absorb the vibrations and movement generated during agitation and high-speed spin cycles. As long as all four rods have equal spring tension, the tub stays centered and stable. When one or more rods lose tension, stretch, or break, the tub is no longer held evenly and begins to swing off-center during spin — striking the cabinet walls, causing the loud banging, vibration, and imbalance error codes that indicate the rods need replacement.
Why must I replace all 4 rods instead of just the broken one?
All four suspension rods experience the same amount of wear over the same number of wash cycles. When one rod fails, the remaining three have experienced the same stress and fatigue and are likely to fail soon after. Replacing only the broken rod leaves three worn rods supporting the tub unevenly, which can cause the new rod to wear faster and may not fully resolve the vibration problem. Replacing all four at the same time ensures even tub support, fully resolves the imbalance, and prevents a repeat repair in the near future.
What do error codes dc and UE mean on Samsung washers?
On Samsung top-load washers, error code dc (or sometimes dC) means the washer has detected an out-of-balance condition during the spin cycle and has stopped to prevent damage. Error code UE means an unbalanced load that the machine cannot automatically correct by redistributing. Both codes can be caused by an actual overloaded or unevenly distributed laundry load — but if the errors occur frequently even with normal loads and proper load distribution, worn or broken suspension rods are the most common mechanical cause. Replacing the rod kit resolves these errors in most cases.
How is the DC97-16350V different from DC97-16350U or DC97-16350S?
The DC97-16350V, DC97-16350U, and DC97-16350S are all Samsung suspension rods, but they have different lengths for different washer model generations and capacities. The DC97-16350V is 27.5 inches long and is used on larger-capacity WA48–WA54 series Samsung washers. The DC97-16350U is approximately 26.4 inches and is used on mid-capacity WA45–WA50 series models. The DC97-16350S and DC97-16350C are shorter versions for earlier or smaller-capacity models. Using the wrong length rod can cause the tub to sit at the incorrect height inside the cabinet. Always verify your model number before ordering to confirm the correct rod length.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement kit built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Samsung OEM part, but is manufactured from spring steel with plastic end caps to match the length and spring tension of the original DC97-16350V suspension rods.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves Disconnect power before beginning. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. The lid switch is located under the control panel at the top rear left corner of the washer. To access it, you'll need to remove the control panel: on most direct-drive washers, use a putty knife or flat-blade screwdriver to release the spring clips at the bottom edge of the control panel (typically two clips), then flip the control panel up and back on its hinges to rest against the wall behind the washer. You should now see the lid switch mounted on the left side with two screws. Photograph the wiring before disconnecting. Unplug the wiring harness from the 3 flat terminals on the old lid switch — note how the harness connects. Remove the two mounting screws holding the old switch in place. Also disconnect the green grounding wire (it's attached separately with its own screw). Remove the old switch. Install the new 8318084 switch in the same position using the two mounting screws. Reconnect the green grounding wire with its screw. Plug the wiring harness back onto the 3 flat terminals, matching your photos. Flip the control panel back down and press it into place until the spring clips snap. Plug the washer back in and test by closing the lid and running a cycle — confirm the washer starts, agitates, spins, and drains. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, putty knife or flat-blade screwdriver (for spring clips), work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My washer won't spin but still fills — is the lid switch the problem?
Very likely, yes. On direct-drive top-load washers, the lid switch is a safety interlock that prevents spinning and agitating when the lid is open. When the switch fails, the control never receives the "lid closed" signal, so it blocks the spin (and often the agitate and drain) as a safety measure — but filling still works because that doesn't require the lid interlock. If your washer fills but won't advance past that point, or agitates but refuses to spin, the lid switch is the prime suspect. You can confirm by testing the switch for continuity with a multimeter when the lever is pressed — a working switch shows continuity when activated.
Why would a bad lid switch cause a burning smell?
This happens when the motor tries to engage but the lid switch isn't signaling correctly, causing the motor to stall or repeatedly attempt to start without completing the cycle. A stalling direct-drive motor generates heat that produces a burning smell. If you notice a burning smell AND the washer isn't spinning or agitating properly, check the lid switch first — it's far more likely (and cheaper) than a motor failure. If the burning smell continues after replacing the switch, have the motor and motor coupling inspected by a technician.
What's the difference between 8318084 and WP8318084?
These are the same lid switch across production revisions. 8318084 was the original part number and WP8318084 is the Whirlpool-era part number (with the "WP" prefix Whirlpool adopted). WP8318084VP is a variant packaging code. All are physically and functionally identical — if your washer's parts diagram shows any of these numbers, this listing is the correct replacement. The many additional cross-references (AP3180933, AP6012742, ES8084, PS886960, PS11745957, etc.) are catalog identifiers from various parts distributors for the same switch.
Does this fit my stacked laundry center or front-load washer?
No — the 8318084 is specifically designed for standalone direct-drive top-load washers on the Whirlpool platform. Stacked washer/dryer laundry centers use different lid switch part numbers (such as the 3355806 for Whirlpool thin twin units), and front-load washers use door lock assemblies instead of lid switches. Always search by your appliance's model number to confirm the correct part. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure which switch fits your machine.
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 to match the electrical specifications (125–250V, 50–60Hz, 1/2 HP), dimensions (3"L x 2"W x 1-15/16"H), 3-flat-terminal configuration, grounding wire, and lid-detection function of the original WP8318084 lid switch used in compatible Whirlpool, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Roper, Estate, Maytag, Amana, and related direct-drive top-load washers.

XPARTCO WH01X27538 Washer Drive Belt
The XPARTCO WH01X27538 is an aftermarket replacement washer drive belt for GE and Hotpoint top-load washers. It is a 5-rib belt with 4 grooves, approximately 22.87 inches long. The belt connects the drive motor to the transmission pulley, so the motor can spin the basket and agitate the clothes. A worn, stretched, or broken belt can cause a washer that won't spin or agitate, a slow spin, squealing, or noise during the cycle.
This is a direct-fit aftermarket replacement for the original GE belt. Belts differ between washer families, so check the part number against your model before ordering.

The XPARTCO WH01X27538 Drive Belt fixes a GE or Hotpoint top-load washer that won't spin or agitate, spins slowly, or squeals or makes noise because the drive belt is worn or broken. Classic symptom: the motor runs, but the basket or agitator doesn't turn.
