W11434044 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dishwasher Water Inlet Valve
The W11434044 is a Genuine OEM Whirlpool replacement dishwasher water inlet valve assembly compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, JennAir, Kenmore, Amana, Roper, Admiral, Estate, Crosley, Inglis, Ikea, Hardwick, Magic Chef, Norge, Modern Maid, and Caloric dishwashers. The water inlet valve is mounted at the base of the dishwasher and connects to the household cold water supply line. When the control board calls for water during the fill cycle, the valve's internal solenoid opens, allowing water to flow into the tub. The valve closes the instant the control board cuts power, stopping flow precisely when the correct water level is reached. Without a properly functioning inlet valve, the dishwasher can't get water into the tub — meaning it can't wash, rinse, or complete a cycle.
Rated 120V AC, 50/60Hz, 6/5W. Approximate dimensions: 2.9" H x 2.3" W with a 0.9" threaded orifice for the water supply connection. The package includes the water inlet valve, water outlet pipe (inlet hose), and two hose clamps — everything needed for the connection between the valve and the dishwasher's water divider. As a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications, the W11434044 directly replaces W11187724, W11025972, W11025970, AWP44732, AP6987233, and PS16217908. Important: the water inlet connection uses plastic threads, which are easily damaged by over-tightening or cross-threading — hand-tighten the water line carefully during installation. Installs in 30–45 minutes with basic hand tools.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dishwasher and Shut Off Water Supply Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves — DON'T OVER-TIGHTEN PLASTIC THREADS Disconnect power at the breaker and shut off the household water supply at the shutoff valve under the sink before beginning. Wear work gloves and safety glasses to protect your hands and eyes. Have towels ready — residual water remains in the supply line and will spill when disconnected. Critical: the W11434044's water supply connection uses plastic threads. Multiple installers have reported stripping the plastic threads by over-tightening or cross-threading the water line during installation — always hand-tighten the fitting carefully and align the threads squarely before tightening. If your dishwasher is installed under a counter, working through the lower access panel is possible but tight — many installers find it easier to pull the dishwasher partially out from the cabinet, or lay it on its side, to reach the inlet connection cleanly (this also lets you use a 90-degree hose fitting without cross-threading). Remove the lower access panel (typically 2 screws) at the front bottom of the dishwasher. Locate the water inlet valve. Photograph the wire harness and hose connections before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the household water supply line from the valve. Squeeze the hose clamps with pliers and slide them back to release the outlet hose from the valve, then disconnect the wire harness plug. Remove the mounting screws holding the valve in place. Install the new W11434044 valve, secure the mounting hardware, and reconnect the outlet hose and hose clamps. Push the electrical connector's fixing plate firmly into place before connecting the wire harness plug — this prevents the connector from falling out during operation. Reconnect the household water supply — hand-tighten the fitting carefully to avoid stripping the plastic threads. Restore water and power. Run a test cycle and check for leaks at all connections. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, adjustable wrench (used lightly on plastic threads only!), channel-lock pliers, work gloves, safety glasses.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dishwasher isn't filling with water — is the inlet valve the problem?
Very likely, yes — that's the most common symptom of a failed dishwasher water inlet valve. Before replacing, do a few quick checks: 1) confirm the household water supply to the dishwasher is turned on at the shutoff valve; 2) check the household water pressure at a nearby fixture (a nearby faucet) to make sure your home has normal pressure; 3) inspect the inlet screen on 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 dishwasher still won't fill, the W11434044 valve solenoid has likely failed and replacing it will resolve the issue. You can also test the solenoid with a multimeter — no continuity means the solenoid has burned out.
What is the difference between W11434044 and W11025970/W11025972/W11187724?
These are the same water inlet valve across production revisions. W11025970 was the original OEM part number, W11025972 and W11187724 were mid-generation revisions, and W11434044 is the current OEM production version. All are physically and functionally interchangeable — if your dishwasher's parts diagram or the part on your appliance shows any of these numbers, the W11434044 is the correct current replacement, and this listing covers all of them.
Why is over-tightening the water line connection such a common issue?
The water supply inlet on the W11434044 has plastic threads to reduce cost and simplify manufacturing — but plastic threads are much less forgiving than brass or metal fittings. Cross-threading (starting the fitting at an angle instead of straight-in) or applying too much torque with a wrench will strip the plastic threads or split the fitting. Always align the water line fitting carefully by hand first, get several turns of engagement before applying any tool, and use only enough torque to snug the connection (typically hand-tight plus a very light quarter-turn with a wrench). If the threads are already stripped, the valve or a replacement plastic fitting will need to be ordered — the connection can't be repaired.
Should I lay the dishwasher on its side for this repair?
If you're finding it difficult to reach the water inlet connection cleanly through the lower access panel — which is a common complaint from installers — laying the dishwasher on its side (or pulling it partially out from the cabinet) makes the connection much easier to work with. This is especially helpful if your water supply line uses a 90-degree hose fitting that needs a straight approach for correct thread engagement. Before laying the dishwasher down, disconnect all connections and drain any residual water from the tub to avoid spills. Note that if the door has been damaged or bent, laying the unit on its side can worsen the damage — inspect first.
Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications. It is the exact same water inlet valve installed in compatible Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, JennAir, Kenmore, Amana, and related Whirlpool-built dishwashers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

XPARTCO WH13X10031 Washer Water Inlet Valve
The XPARTCO WH13X10031 is an aftermarket replacement water inlet valve for GE washer/dryer combo units, and also fits select Hotpoint and Kenmore combo models. This valve controls the flow of water into the washer side of the combination unit, opening to admit hot and cold water as the cycle calls for it and closing once the correct fill level is reached. Made of durable metal construction for long-term reliability.
Rated 115V. 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 side not filling properly, water continuing to enter the machine even when it's turned off, or leaking near the valve connections.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO WH13X10031 Washer Water Inlet Valve fixes GE washer/dryer combo units (and select Hotpoint and Kenmore combo models) that aren't filling properly, or where water continues entering the machine even when it's turned off. 115V, metal construction. This is a combo washer/dryer unit valve — a different application from a standalone top-load or front-load washer valve. Confirm your unit type before ordering.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Washer side of the combo unit not filling with water properly
Water continuing to enter the machine even when it's turned off
Leaking near the valve connections
Cycle stalling at the fill step and never advancing to wash
No hot water reaching the tub, or no cold water reaching the tub

Installation Notes
⚠️ Shut Off Water Supply And Unplug The Unit Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker, and shut off both hot and cold water supply valves before beginning. Wear work gloves. Access to the valve on combo units typically requires removing a front or rear access panel — check your model's service diagram, since access varies more on combo units than on standalone washers. Photograph the wiring and hose connections before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the water supply lines from the old valve, disconnect the electrical connector, and remove the mounting screws holding it in place, then pull the valve free. Install the new WH13X10031 in the same position, reconnect all hose connections to their original positions, reconnect the electrical connector fully, and secure the mounting screws. Reattach the hot and cold supply lines, tightening securely. Restore the water supply and check every connection for leaks before restoring power. Run a full test cycle to confirm the washer side fills correctly with no leaking. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, pliers, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the right valve for my standalone washer, or only for a combo unit?
This valve is designed specifically for GE washer/dryer combo units, where the washer and dryer are built into a single appliance. If you have a standalone washer, this is not the correct valve — GE uses several other similarly-numbered valves, such as WH13X10015, WH13X10030, WH13X10033, and WH13X10037, for standalone top-load and front-load washers. Confirm your unit type and model number before ordering.
Water keeps entering my machine even when it's off. Is this the valve?
Yes, this is a documented symptom of a failing water inlet valve. If the internal solenoid is stuck open or has worn out, water can continue to flow into the machine even after it's been turned off, since the valve can no longer fully seal.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine GE OEM part, but is manufactured to match the voltage rating, solenoid design, and connection type of the original WH13X10031 valve used in compatible GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore washer/dryer combo units.

XPARTCO W10721967 Washer Drive Clutch Kit
The XPARTCO W10721967 is an aftermarket replacement drive clutch kit — often called a "splutch" kit — for Whirlpool-built top-load washers. This assembly sits at the base of the transmission and works together with the mode shift actuator to control how power reaches the washer: during agitation, the clutch engages to drive the washplate back and forth, and during spin, it locks up to spin the inner wash basket at full speed. The name "splutch" comes from what it actually is — part spring, part clutch — and that spring-loaded design is what lets the same assembly smoothly transition between the gentle agitate motion and the much more forceful spin cycle.
This is a complete 6-piece kit: spring, clutch housing, cam ring, basket drive gear, drive pulley, and mounting nut, so you're replacing the entire wear-prone assembly at once rather than chasing individual worn components. Over time the clutch's friction surfaces glaze over and wear down, the cam ring's engagement points round off, and the spring loses tension — all of which produce the same telltale complaint: a loud grinding, clicking, or clunking noise during agitation or spin, sometimes alongside a washer that spins weakly, agitates but won't spin, or runs hot and starts to smell from the friction of a slipping clutch. It directly replaces AP5951296, W10006352, W10006353, W10006354, W10006356, W10006382, W10239973, W10315818, W10326374, W10536113, W10721967VP, W10818965, W11396423, 3319979, and PS10057144.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO W10721967 Washer Drive Clutch Kit fixes Whirlpool-built top-load washers with loud grinding, clicking, or clunking noise during agitation or spin, a washer that agitates but won't spin, weak or no spin, an overheating smell, or a drum that doesn't spin the pump properly. Complete 6-piece "splutch" kit — spring, housing, cam ring, basket drive gear, pulley, and nut. Replaces AP5951296, W10006352, W10006353, W10006354, W10006356, W10006382, W10239973, W10315818, W10326374, W10536113, W10721967VP, W10818965, W11396423, 3319979, PS10057144. Often replaced together with the drive belt, since both wear on a similar schedule and share the same teardown.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Loud grinding, clicking, or clunking noise during agitation or spin

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer And Shut Off Water Before Starting — Tip Onto Its Back Or Front With Care Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker, and close the water supply valves before beginning. Wear work gloves. Access is from underneath the washer: remove the inner wash basket first (this typically requires a large basket-hub or spanner tool and applying steady upward pressure to break the basket free from the drive hub), then carefully tip the washer onto its back or front, protecting the top and any control panel with a blanket or padding as you lay it down. Photograph the belt and pulley arrangement before disconnecting anything. Remove the drive belt from the motor pulley, then remove the mounting nut and pull the old clutch/pulley assembly off the transmission shaft — a puller tool can help if it's seized. Install the new W10721967 assembly onto the shaft in the same orientation, torque the mounting nut to the manufacturer's specification, and reinstall the drive belt, checking that it seats correctly in the pulley grooves. Carefully stand the washer back upright, reinstall the wash basket, and reconnect it to the drive hub. Restore water and power, then run a full test cycle through agitate and spin, listening for the grinding or clicking noise that prompted the repair. Tools needed: basket-hub removal tool or spanner wrench, socket set, 13mm socket, 5/16" nut driver, pliers, work gloves, and a helper to assist with tipping the washer.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does "splutch" mean, and why is it sold as one kit instead of individual parts?
"Splutch" is shorthand for spring-clutch — the assembly combines a spring-loaded clutch mechanism with the drive pulley and gear that together control agitation and spin. Whirlpool sells this as a single kit because the individual components wear together and interact closely; replacing just the pulley while leaving a worn cam ring or a fatigued spring in place often means the noise or slipping symptom returns quickly. Replacing the complete kit resolves the failure at its actual source.
My washer agitates fine but won't spin. Is this the clutch?
It's one of the most common causes of exactly that symptom. The clutch has to lock up firmly to transfer full power into spinning the basket; if its friction surfaces have worn down or glazed over, it can still engage well enough for the lighter agitation motion but slip under the higher torque demand of spin. If you hear grinding or clicking specifically as the washer transitions into spin, that reinforces the clutch as the likely cause.
Should I replace the drive belt at the same time?
It's worth strongly considering. The belt and clutch wear on a similar schedule and share the same teardown — you're already tipping the washer over and removing the belt to access the clutch, so replacing a belt that's showing wear at the same time saves you from repeating the whole disassembly again in the near future. Inspect the belt for glazing, cracking, or fraying while it's off and replace it if it shows any of those signs.
The washer smells hot or burnt. Is that dangerous, and does it point to this part?
A worn clutch that's slipping generates friction heat, which can produce a warm, slightly burnt smell — this is a real symptom of clutch wear and not something to ignore, since continued operation in that state accelerates wear on the clutch and can stress the drive motor. If you notice this smell along with weak or absent spin, stop using the washer and address the clutch before running further loads.
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 spring tension, cam ring engagement geometry, pulley dimensions, and mounting configuration of the original W10721967 clutch kit used in compatible Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, Amana, Crosley, Roper, and Inglis top-load washers.

XPARTCO W11688995 (OE) Washer Water Inlet Valve (Cold)
The XPARTCO W11688995 (OE — Original Equipment specification) is an aftermarket replacement cold water inlet valve built to OEM specifications, designed as a direct fit for select Whirlpool, Maytag, Amana, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, Inglis, and Kenmore front-load washers. The cold water inlet valve is mounted at the back of the washer where the cold water supply hose connects. When the washer's control board calls for cold water during a wash cycle, the valve's internal solenoid opens, letting 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 cold water at all, fill very slowly, fail to dispense fabric softener, continuously drip water into the tub even when off, or display F8E1 or LO FL error codes. Construction is blue and white plastic with 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 W11688995, W11036930, W11316256, W11486361, AP7218603, EAP12711564, PD00086086, PS12711564, 4929298, and AP6835737. Often replaced as a pair with the hot water inlet valve (W11688994, 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. 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 cold valve is typically blue. Disconnect the cold 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 W11688995 valve in the same position with the same orientation, reconnect the internal water hoses and electrical connector, and secure the mounting screw. Reconnect the cold supply hose at the wall, restore water and power, and run a test cycle to confirm normal cold water fill with no leaks. Tip: while the top cover is off, this is the ideal time to also replace the hot water valve (W11688994) — 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
What do error codes F8E1 and LO FL mean on Whirlpool washers?
Both codes indicate a water fill problem. F8E1 appears when the control board doesn't detect normal water flow during a fill cycle — typically caused by a failed inlet valve, a clogged inlet screen, kinked supply hose, or restricted water supply. LO FL (low flow) appears when the washer detects that water is flowing in, but at a rate too low to complete the fill within the expected time window. When the cold water inlet valve has failed or is partially clogged, both codes can appear together. Before replacing the valve, check that the household cold water supply is on and the supply hose isn't kinked, and inspect the inlet screen on the valve for sediment buildup. If those check out, replacing the W11688995 typically resolves the codes.
My washer isn't dispensing fabric softener — could this be the cold valve?
Yes — this is actually a common symptom that's often misdiagnosed. The cold water inlet valve also feeds the detergent dispenser tray on most Whirlpool front-load washers, including the fabric softener compartment. If the cold valve is clogged or failing to fully open at the right moment in the cycle, water doesn't flow through the fabric softener compartment to flush it into the tub, leaving softener pooled in the tray at the end of the cycle. If you've already cleaned the dispenser tray and water lines and the problem persists, replacing the cold inlet valve (W11688995) often resolves the issue.
Should I replace the hot water valve at the same time?
Yes, it's strongly recommended. The cold and hot 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 hot water valve is part number W11688994 (red, sold separately) and is also available as a paired kit.
My washer is dripping water into the tub even when it's off — is this the valve?
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 hot water supply at the wall and check if dripping continues. If it stops, the hot valve is at fault; if it continues, this cold valve is the cause. Replacing the W11688995 will resolve a leaking cold valve.
What does "OE" mean and how is this different from an OEM Whirlpool part?
"OE" stands for Original Equipment — meaning this is an aftermarket replacement part manufactured to original equipment specifications. It is engineered as a direct-fit substitute matching the dimensions, electrical specifications, and function of the original Whirlpool W11688995. It is not a genuine Whirlpool-branded OEM part, but is built to the same quality standards and performs identically when installed in compatible washers.

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.

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 — there are sharp edges inside the washer cabinet. For front-load models: remove the lower front access panel to expose the pump housing and filter. Drain residual water via the filter drain hose (have a shallow pan ready). Disconnect the wire harness from the motor. On most Samsung front-load models, the motor assembly twists out of the pump housing by rotating counter-clockwise — do not force it. Remove the old motor, note the O-ring position, and install the new O-ring from this kit onto the new DC31-00187A motor. Insert the new motor into the housing and twist clockwise to lock. Reconnect the wire harness. Reinstall the lower panel, restore power and water, and run a drain/spin cycle to confirm drainage. For top-load models: access through the lower front panel or by tilting the washer on its side depending on model. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, pliers, shallow pan, towels, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between DC31-00187A and DC97-20621C?
The DC31-00187A is the drain pump motor — the electrical component that drives the impeller. The DC97-20621C is the complete drain pump assembly, which includes the motor plus the outer pump housing, hose connection ports, and mounting hardware. When you order the DC31-00187A, you replace only the motor and reuse the existing DC97-20621C pump housing. When you order the DC97-20621C, you replace the entire assembly including the housing. Both resolve the same drain fault — the DC31-00187A is the more targeted repair when the housing is in good condition.
What error codes indicate a drain pump motor failure?
Error codes 5C, SE, SC, 5E, and SUDS on compatible Samsung washers all indicate a drain fault — the washer was unable to drain within the expected time. Before replacing the motor, clean the drain filter/coin trap at the lower front panel. A clogged filter is one of the most common causes of these error codes and does not require motor replacement. If the filter is clear and the codes persist, or if the pump is making loud noise or is completely silent during the drain phase, the motor needs replacement.
What is the difference between DC31-00187A and DC31-00178A?
These are cross-references for the same or very similar Samsung drain pump motor used across different Samsung washer generations. The DC31-00178A was used on earlier Samsung models and the DC31-00187A is the current version. Both are commonly listed as interchangeable replacements for each other in Samsung washer drain pump repair. The DC31-00187D and DC31-00178D are also variants of the same motor from different production runs.
Should I clean the filter before replacing the pump motor?
Yes — always check and clean the drain filter first. On Samsung front-load washers, the filter is accessible behind the lower front kick panel, typically on the right side — remove the cap slowly and drain water into a shallow pan first. Lint, coins, debris, and hair are very common causes of Samsung drain error codes that are completely resolved by cleaning the filter without any parts replacement. If the filter is clear and the error codes persist, the pump motor is the next component to replace.
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 electrical specifications and performance of the original DC31-00187A drain pump motor.

XPARTCO WH01X24434 Washer Clutch Spring
The XPARTCO WH01X24434 is an aftermarket replacement clutch spring for GE top-load washers, and also fits select Hotpoint and RCA models. This small spring provides the correct tension for the shifter/clutch assembly, ensuring smooth transitions between the wash and spin cycles. It works alongside the shift actuator (our WH03X30517 listing) and the clutch itself (our WH05X24185 listing) in the same wash/spin transition system.
Made of spring steel for flexibility and wear resistance, measuring approximately 2.3" in length. Over time, this spring can weaken, stretch, or lose tension from repeated use. Symptoms of a worn or failing clutch spring include weak shifting, slipping, or the washer failing to transition properly between agitation and spin. It directly replaces WH01X24434, 4587847, AGE26150, AP6031748, EAP11763251, PD00055310, PS11763251

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet before beginning to cut off electricity and prevent accidental shocks. Wear work gloves. Access to the clutch spring typically requires the same disassembly path as the clutch and shift actuator: remove the two screws at the back of the washer, pull off the main console, and locate the access plate on the transmission side. Remove the belt from the pulley and take off the belt guard. Locate the old clutch spring and note its exact position and orientation before removing it. Remove the old spring and install the new WH01X24434 in the same position, making sure it's seated correctly to provide proper tension on the shifter/clutch assembly. Reattach the belt, pulley, and access plate. Reinstall the main console and secure it with its screws. Restore power and run a test cycle to confirm smooth, correct transitions between agitation and spin with no slipping. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, socket wrench, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My washer shifts weakly or slips between cycles. Is this the spring I need?
Yes, this is a documented symptom of a worn clutch spring. Since this spring provides the correct tension for the shifter/clutch assembly, a weakened or stretched spring can result in weak shifting or slipping as the washer tries to transition between agitation and spin.
Should I replace this spring at the same time as the actuator or clutch?
It's worth considering. Since this spring, the shift actuator, and the clutch all work together in the same wash/spin transition system, and you'll already have the washer disassembled to access any one of them, checking and replacing all three together — especially if they're all original and the same age — can help prevent needing to reopen the washer again soon after.
Is this a difficult repair?
It's a moderate repair, since accessing this spring requires removing the back panel, main console, and transmission access plate — the same disassembly path used for the clutch and shift actuator. Basic hand tools are sufficient, but budget more time than for a simple part swap.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine GE OEM part, but is manufactured to match the length, material, and tension specification of the original WH01X24434 clutch spring used in compatible GE, Hotpoint, and RCA top-load washers.
