XPARTCO W10734521 Washer Clutch Slider Kit
The XPARTCO W10734521 is an aftermarket replacement washer clutch slider kit compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Amana, Crosley, Estate, Jenn-Air, Roper, Magic Chef, Admiral, and Kirkland HE top-load washers. The clutch slider kit is part of the drive system that engages and disengages the inner tub from the gearcase — it's responsible for transitioning the washer between agitation and spin modes. The slider gear works together with the electromagnetic clutch and gearcase to move the inner tub during the wash and spin portions of every cycle. When the slider or its spring fails, the washer typically won't spin properly, won't agitate, makes grinding noise, or leaves clothes soaking wet at the end of a cycle.
This kit includes the slider, spring support, 30mm spiral, and bolt. Slider dimensions: 2-7/8" outer diameter x 7/8" deep. Support spring: 1-5/8" outer diameter x 1-1/8" long. Spiral: 1-5/16" outer diameter. Bolt: 7/8" head diameter x 1" high. Construction is metal and plastic in black, white, and gray. Important: this is the slider kit only — it does NOT include the electromagnetic clutch (sold separately as W10754448). The current W10734521 part number supersedes the earlier W10006484, W10006494, W10275082, W10447975, and W10905025. It also replaces 3452506, AP5952873, EAP10060062, PD00025495, and PS10060062. Installs in 60–90 minutes with basic hand tools.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer and Shut Off Water Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before beginning. Place towels under the washer — some residual water may spill from hoses during disassembly. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. Unthread the hot and cold water supply hoses from the inlet valve ports. Disconnect the drain hose from the outlet port using channel-lock pliers to release the spring clamp. Carefully tip the washer onto its side or back on a padded surface to access the underside. Disconnect the wiring harnesses to the drive motor and pull the rotor free — be prepared for some resistance, as the permanent magnets in the rotor require some effort to remove. Use a small awl inserted between the slider gear teeth to release the spring retainer. With the retainer released, pull off the old spring and slider gear. Note the orientation of the slider — teeth facing outward. Install the new W10734521 components in sequence: slide the new slider gear onto the drive assembly shaft with teeth facing outward, install the new spring support and 30mm spiral, and secure with the new bolt. Reinstall the rotor (the magnets will pull it into place), reconnect the wiring harnesses, return the washer to upright, reconnect supply hoses and drain hose, restore power and water, and test the spin cycle for proper function. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, socket set, channel-lock pliers, small awl, padded surface for tipping, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between W10734521 and W10754448?
These are two different parts in the same drive system. The W10734521 is the clutch slider kit — it includes the slider gear, spring support, spiral, and bolt that physically engage/disengage the inner tub from the gearcase to transition between agitation and spin modes. The W10754448 is the electromagnetic clutch itself — the electrical component that drives the engagement. Both can fail independently, and many repair scenarios call for replacing both at the same time since they work together. Confirm exactly which component has failed before ordering, or order both if you're rebuilding the drive system as a full repair.
My washer won't spin — is it the slider or something else?
A washer that won't spin can have several causes: a failed slider kit, a failed electromagnetic clutch (W10754448), a damaged drive belt, a failed motor or rotor, a broken lid switch, or — on some models — a failed gearcase. The slider kit is one of the more common causes when the symptom is "fills and drains but won't spin" with no obvious noise or burning smell. Before replacing the slider, check that the lid latch strike (W11457841 on some models) is engaging properly, the drive belt is intact, and the motor is functioning. If those check out and the slider gear shows visible wear, missing teeth, or a stretched spring, the W10734521 kit is the right repair.
Should I replace all parts in the kit together?
Yes — for the kit to perform as designed, all components should be replaced as a matched set. The slider, spring support, spiral, and bolt all work together — if one is worn, the others have typically experienced the same load and wear. Reusing old components alongside new ones can cause premature failure of the new parts and a repeat repair. The W10734521 kit is priced and packaged for a complete replacement, so install all four pieces during your repair.
What is the difference between W10734521 and the older part numbers it replaces?
W10734521 is the current production version of this slider kit. It directly supersedes W10006484, W10006494, W10275082, W10447975, and W10905025 — all of which were earlier OEM part numbers for variations of the same slider kit across production revisions. Whirlpool consolidated these into the W10734521 to streamline the parts catalog. If your washer's parts diagram shows any of these older numbers, the W10734521 is the correct current 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 Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured from metal and plastic to match the dimensions, gear profile, and drive engagement function of the original W10734521 clutch slider kit used in compatible Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, and related HE top-load washers.

XPARTCO W10683603 Washer Water Inlet Valve Replaces WPW10683603
The XPARTCO W10683603 is an aftermarket replacement washer water inlet valve and vacuum break assembly compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool-family top-load washers including Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, Amana, KitchenAid, Roper, Crosley, Inglis, and Admiral. The water inlet valve is a dual solenoid valve mounted on the back of the washer that controls the flow of hot and cold water into the tub. When the washer calls for water, the control board energizes one or both solenoid coils to open the valve and allow water to flow through. A thermistor sensor on the valve monitors incoming water temperature to ensure proper wash temperatures are achieved.
When the water inlet valve fails, the washer may not fill at all, fill too slowly, fill only with hot or only with cold water, overfill continuously, or drip water into the tub when it should be closed. This complete valve and vacuum break assembly measures 9-1/4" L x 6-1/4" W x 2" H and is rated 110/120V, 60Hz. It directly replaces WPW10683603, W10423125, W10501149, W10683680, 3451320, and a large number of additional cross-reference numbers. Installs in 15–20 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. Move the washer away from the wall to access the back panel. The water inlet valve is mounted on the upper rear of the washer cabinet — two supply hoses connect to the back of the valve (red for hot, blue for cold) and internal hoses route water into the tub. Photograph the wire harness connections and hose routing before disconnecting anything. Use pliers to loosen the hose clamps and disconnect the internal hoses. Unscrew the two mounting screws holding the valve to the washer cabinet. Disconnect the wire harness connectors from the solenoid coils and thermistor. Remove the old valve and install the new W10683603 in the same position. Reconnect the wire harnesses, internal hoses, and mounting screws. Reconnect the external supply hoses (red to hot, blue to cold), restore water supply and power, and run a fill cycle to check for leaks. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, pliers.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the water inlet valve do?
The water inlet valve is a dual solenoid valve that controls the flow of hot and cold water from your household supply lines into the washer tub. When the control board calls for water during a fill or rinse cycle, it sends voltage to one or both solenoid coils — hot, cold, or both — to open the appropriate valve port and allow water to flow in. When the correct water level is reached, the board cuts voltage to the solenoids, closing the valve. The thermistor sensor on the valve monitors incoming water temperature and sends data to the control board to ensure the correct wash temperature is achieved.
What is the difference between W10683603 and WPW10683603?
These are the same water inlet valve. WPW10683603 is the updated Whirlpool OEM part number that superseded the original W10683603. The W10423125, W10501149, and W10683680 are also cross-references for this same valve from earlier production runs. This aftermarket replacement is compatible with all of these numbers.
My washer fills with only cold water — is the water inlet valve the cause?
Filling with only cold water when a warm or hot cycle is selected usually means the hot water solenoid coil on the valve has failed. Each solenoid coil controls one valve port independently — a failed hot solenoid means only the cold port opens. You can confirm with a multimeter: test each solenoid coil for continuity — a working coil shows resistance (typically 200–500 ohms), while a failed coil reads open circuit. Before blaming the valve, also check that your household hot water supply is fully open and that hot water is actually reaching the washer's supply hose.
Why is water dripping into the tub when the washer is off?
A slow drip or trickle of water into the tub when the washer is not running is almost always caused by a water inlet valve that is not closing completely. This can be caused by mineral deposits from hard water partially blocking the valve seat and preventing it from fully sealing, or by a worn valve diaphragm that no longer makes a watertight seal when the solenoid de-energizes. Replacing the water inlet valve resolves this in most cases. If the dripping persists after replacing the valve, check whether the household water pressure is excessively high — very high pressure can force open even a healthy valve.
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 from durable plastic and metal to match the dimensions and electrical specifications of the original WPW10683603 water inlet valve assembly.

WH01X29528 Genuine OEM GE Washer Door Lock
The WH01X29528 is a genuine GE OEM door lock assembly for GE front-load washers and select GE Ultrafast 2-in-1 combo washer/dryers. This is a safety mechanism, not just a switch: when the door closes, the lock engages automatically and secures the door shut for the full length of the cycle, only releasing once the control confirms it's safe to open. This prevents the door from being opened mid-cycle, which would otherwise let water and detergent spill out and create both a mess and a safety hazard.
Rated 120VAC, 60Hz, 16A. Over time, the door lock can fail from physical damage or ordinary wear, and when it does, the symptoms can be wide-ranging: a washer that won't start because the control never confirms the door is locked, a cycle that stops partway through, a door that won't unlock at the end of a cycle, or in some cases excessive noise and shaking during operation since the lock also plays a role in keeping the door assembly seated correctly. It directly replaces AP6985313, EAP12749276, 4958749, PS12749276, PD00060769, ITW 12070-71, V13305, and 0024000128GE. As a genuine OEM part, the WH01X29528 is manufactured by GE to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.
Quick Answer
The WH01X29528 Genuine OEM GE Washer Door Lock fixes GE front-load washers and GE Ultrafast combo washer/dryers where the door won't lock, the washer won't start, the door pops open or unlocks unexpectedly during the cycle, or the cycle stops partway through. 120VAC, 60Hz, 16A. Replaces AP6985313, EAP12749276, 4958749, PS12749276, PD00060769, ITW 12070-71, V13305, 0024000128GE. Before replacing, try a power reset — unplug the washer for 30 seconds and plug it back in — or hold Start/Pause for 15 seconds to command the control to release the lock; either can resolve a door stuck locked without needing a new part.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Washer won't start because the door lock never confirms as locked
Door lock fails to engage, or the door pops open after locking
Door unlocks unexpectedly during the wash cycle
Cycle stops or interrupts partway through
Door won't unlock at the end of a completed cycle
Excessive noise or shaking during operation related to a loose door seal

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer Before Starting — Try A Power Reset First If The Door Is Stuck Locked Before replacing the part, try the simplest fixes first. Unplug the washer, wait 30 seconds, and plug it back in to let the control fully reboot — a simple power reset can release an operational lock and clear the problem without any disassembly. If that doesn't work, try holding the Start/Pause or Power button for 15 seconds to command the control to unlock the door; this doesn't always succeed but is quick to try before opening up the washer. If the door is still locked and you need physical access, never work on the appliance while it's connected to power. Once you've confirmed replacement is necessary, disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker. Wear work gloves. Access is typically from the front, working around the door boot/gasket to reach the lock assembly mounted to the front panel. Photograph the wiring harness connector and mounting position before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the harness connector from the old lock, remove its mounting screws, and pull it free. Install the new WH01X29528 in the same position, secure the mounting screws, and reconnect the harness connector fully. Reseat the door boot/gasket if it was disturbed, restore power, and run a test cycle to confirm the door locks, stays locked through the cycle, and releases normally at the end. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My washer's door is stuck locked. Do I need to replace this part right away?
Not necessarily — try the simple resets first. Unplug the washer for 30 seconds and plug it back in to let the control fully reboot, which can release an operational lock on its own. If that doesn't work, try holding the Start/Pause or Power button for 15 seconds, which commands the control to release the lock electronically. These steps resolve many stuck-door situations without needing to replace the lock assembly at all.
My washer won't start. Is that this part?
It's a strong possibility. The control won't begin a cycle until it receives confirmation that the door is locked, so if this lock has failed and isn't sending that signal, the washer will simply refuse to start even though everything else appears normal. Try the power reset steps above first, then check for a door lock-related error code on the display before assuming the part has failed.
I already replaced this lock once and it failed again. What should I check?
If a newly replaced lock fails again relatively quickly, it's worth having the washer's control board checked, since a board that's sending incorrect signals to the lock can cause repeat failures that look like the lock itself is bad. It's also worth confirming the door boot/gasket is seated correctly, since a misaligned door can put uneven stress on the lock mechanism.
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 includes the same locking mechanism, switch design, and harness connector as the door lock originally installed in your GE front-load washer or Ultrafast combo washer/dryer.

XPARTCO W11688994 Washer Water Inlet Valve (Hot)
The XPARTCO W11688994 is an aftermarket replacement hot water inlet valve compatible with select Whirlpool, Maytag, Amana, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, Inglis, and Kenmore front-load washers. The hot water inlet valve is mounted at the back of the washer where the hot water supply hose connects. When the washer's control board calls for hot water during a wash cycle, the valve's internal solenoid opens, letting hot water flow into the tub or detergent dispenser. The valve closes the instant the control board cuts power, stopping flow precisely as the correct fill level is reached.
When this valve fails, the washer may not fill with hot water at all, fill very slowly with hot water, fail to deliver hot or warm wash temperatures (even when selected), continuously drip water into the tub even when off, or display fill-related error codes. Construction is red and white plastic with a metal solenoid coil, ~3"H x 4"W x 3"L, with 1/2" NPT threaded inlet for standard washer supply hose. It directly replaces W11688994, W11036928, W11316255, W11486360, and AP7218602. Often replaced as a pair with the cold water inlet valve (W11688995, sold separately). Installs in 10–15 minutes with basic hand tools.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer and Shut Off Water Supply Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves Disconnect power and shut off both the hot and cold water supplies at the wall before beginning. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. Have towels ready — residual water remains in the supply hoses and will spill when disconnected. Important: if the washer has just been running a hot cycle, allow the hot supply hose and valve to cool before handling — hot water can scald. Pull the washer out from the wall to access the back. Remove the three 1/4" screws securing the rear edge of the top cover, push the top cover slightly back, and lift it off. Locate the inlet valves at the back of the washer — the hot valve is typically red. Disconnect the hot water supply hose from the valve (water will drip — towels). Photograph the wire connections before disconnecting. Unplug the small electrical connector from the valve solenoid. Remove the single 3/16" mounting screw (or similar hardware, model-dependent) holding the valve in place, and disconnect any internal water hoses from the valve outlet (channel-lock pliers may help with hose clamps). Install the new W11688994 valve in the same position with the same orientation, reconnect the internal water hoses and electrical connector, and secure the mounting screw. Reconnect the hot supply hose at the wall, restore water and power, and run a test cycle on a hot or warm setting to confirm normal hot water fill with no leaks. Tip: while the top cover is off, this is the ideal time to also replace the cold water valve (W11688995) — they share the same access and lifespan. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, 3/16" nut driver, adjustable wrench or pliers, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My washer isn't filling with hot water — is the hot valve the problem?
Likely, yes — that's the most common symptom of a failed hot water inlet valve. Before replacing, do a few quick checks: 1) confirm the hot water supply at the wall is turned on and your home actually has hot water at that connection (test the faucet nearby); 2) check the supply hose for kinks or pinches; 3) inspect the inlet screen on the back of the valve for sediment buildup — a clogged screen can mimic a failed valve. If the supply is good and the screen is clean, but the washer still won't get hot water, the W11688994 valve solenoid has likely failed and replacing it will resolve the issue.
My washer fills but my hot wash isn't actually hot — could it still be this valve?
Yes — when the hot inlet valve is partially failed (opening but not fully, or opening only briefly), the washer may complete its fill cycle by drawing extra cold water to compensate, but the resulting mix is much cooler than the selected wash temperature should be. If you've confirmed your home's hot water is hot, the supply hose is good, and you're still ending up with lukewarm "hot" washes, the hot valve is a likely cause. Replacing it restores proper hot water delivery and accurate wash temperatures.
Should I replace the cold water valve at the same time?
Yes, it's strongly recommended. The hot and cold inlet valves are essentially identical components installed side by side at the back of the washer — they're the same age, are exposed to the same wash cycle stress, and have the same expected service life. When one fails, the other is typically not far behind. Since the top cover is already off and both valves are accessible during the same repair, replacing both saves you a second teardown later. The matching cold water valve is part number W11688995 (blue, sold separately) and is also available as a paired kit.
My washer is dripping water into the tub even when it's off — could the hot valve be the cause?
Yes, that's a classic sign of a failed inlet valve. When the solenoid wears out or debris keeps the valve from sealing fully closed, water leaks past it at low rates and drips into the tub even with the washer powered off — especially noticeable as a slow puddle forming over a day or two. Since both the hot and cold valves feed into the tub, you'll want to identify which one is leaking: shut off the cold water supply at the wall and check if dripping continues. If it stops, the cold valve is at fault; if it continues, this hot valve is the cause. Replacing the W11688994 will resolve a leaking hot valve.
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 dimensions, electrical specifications, 1/2" NPT thread, and solenoid function of the original W11688994 hot water inlet valve used in compatible Whirlpool, Maytag, Amana, KitchenAid, 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

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.
