AHA72973309 Genuine OEM LG Washer Drain & Circulation Pump Assembly
The AHA72973309 is a genuine LG OEM drain and circulation pump assembly for LG and select Kenmore front-load washers. This is a dual-purpose pump — an Askoll M120-2 unit — that handles two separate jobs from one motor and housing. During the drain portion of the cycle, it pumps wastewater out of the tub and out through the drain hose. During the wash and rinse portions, it switches roles and recirculates water from the bottom of the tub back up through the dispenser and spray nozzle, showering it back over the load. That recirculation spray is what lets LG's front-load washers clean effectively with less water than an older top-load design would need.
Because this single assembly performs both functions, a failure here can show up in more than one way: standing water left in the tub after a cycle, a washer that won't complete its drain step, unusual grinding or humming noise, or reduced wash performance if the recirculation spray isn't working even though draining still seems fine. Common causes include debris such as coins, buttons, or lint lodged in the impeller, general wear and tear on the motor bearings, or an electrical failure in the pump motor itself. It directly replaces AP5676608, 2659237, AHA72973304, and PS7788830. As a genuine OEM part, the AHA72973309 is manufactured by LG to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.
Quick Answer
The AHA72973309 Genuine OEM LG Washer Drain & Circulation Pump Assembly fixes LG and select Kenmore front-load washers with standing water left in the tub after a cycle, a washer that won't drain, unusual grinding or humming noise, or reduced wash performance from a weak recirculation spray. Askoll M120-2 dual-purpose pump — handles both draining and mid-cycle water recirculation. Replaces AP5676608, 2659237, AHA72973304, PS7788830. Installation is average difficulty, 30 to 60 minutes — and on many models it's accessible through the front panel without needing to tip the washer over.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer And Shut Off Water Before Starting — Drain Residual Water First Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker, and close the water supply valves before beginning. Wear work gloves. Place towels down and have a shallow pan ready, since the pump housing will hold residual water even after a completed cycle — draining this into a pan before disconnecting hoses will save you a mess. On many models, this pump is fully accessible by removing the front lower access panel or kick plate, without needing to tip the washer onto its back — check this first, since it can save significant time and effort compared to some online guides that recommend tipping the unit. Photograph the hose routing and wiring connections before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the two hose clamps connecting the pump to the tub and drain hose, and unplug the electrical connector from the pump motor. Remove the mounting screws or clips securing the pump assembly and lift it free, checking the impeller area for coins, buttons, or debris while it's out — clearing a clog here may have been the actual cause of the original symptom. Install the new AHA72973309 in the same orientation, reconnect both hoses with their clamps, and reconnect the electrical connector fully. Reinstall the front access panel, restore water and power, and run a short cycle to confirm normal draining, recirculation spray, and no leaks around the pump housing. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, hose clamp pliers, shallow pan or towels, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need to tip the washer over to replace this pump?
Not necessarily — check your model first. While a lot of general online guidance recommends tipping the washer onto its back to access the pump from underneath, many LG and Kenmore Elite front-load models make this pump fully accessible through the front lower access panel or kick plate instead, without any tipping required. It's worth removing that panel first and seeing what you find before committing to the more involved tip-over approach.
Why does this one pump handle both draining and something during the wash cycle?
LG's front-load washers use this same Askoll pump for two different jobs at different points in the cycle: pumping wastewater out during the drain step, and recirculating water from the bottom of the tub back up through the dispenser and spray nozzle during wash and rinse to shower it over the load. That recirculation spray is part of how these washers clean effectively while using less water than an older top-load design. Because one pump does both jobs, a failure can affect draining, wash performance, or both, depending on what's actually gone wrong inside it.
There's water left in the tub after every cycle. Is this definitely the pump?
It's one of the most common causes, but check the easy things first. A clogged drain filter or a kinked drain hose can produce the same "won't drain" symptom and cost nothing to fix. If the filter and hose are clear and water is still standing in the tub, or if the pump hums but doesn't seem to move any water, the pump assembly itself has likely failed.
My washer drains fine but clothes aren't coming out as clean. Could this pump be the cause?
Possibly. Since this same assembly also handles the recirculation spray during wash, a partial failure can leave draining intact while weakening or eliminating that spray function, which reduces how effectively detergent and water reach the load. If drainage is normal but wash performance has noticeably declined, it's worth having this pump checked as one possible cause alongside things like detergent dosing and water hardness.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by LG to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It includes the same Askoll M120-2 dual-function pump design, wiring, and mounting configuration as the drain and circulation pump assembly originally installed in your front-load washer.

XPARTCO 8182703 Washer Shock Absorber Replaces WP8182703
The XPARTCO 8182703 is an aftermarket replacement front-load washer shock absorber compatible with select Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Amana, Jenn-Air, Admiral, and Roper front-load washers in the GHW, WFW, MHWE, MFW, and KHWS series. The shock absorber is a hydraulic dampener that connects the outer washer tub to the base frame. During the spin cycle, the shock absorbers absorb and dampen the vibrations and movement generated by the spinning drum — keeping the washer stable, quiet, and protecting internal components from damage caused by excessive movement.
Most compatible Whirlpool-family front-load washers use four shock absorbers — two at the front and two at the rear. When one or more shock absorbers wear out, the outer tub vibrates excessively, causing loud banging or thumping during the spin cycle. It is strongly recommended to replace all four shock absorbers at the same time. This listing is for a single shock absorber. It directly replaces WP8182703, 8181646, 1173231, and several additional cross-reference numbers. Installs in 30–45 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO 8182703 Washer Shock Absorber fixes front-load washers that shake violently, bang loudly, or walk across the floor during the spin cycle. The shock absorber dampens tub vibration. Most models use 4 shock absorbers — replace all 4 at the same time. Sold individually. Compatible with Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Amana, Jenn-Air, Admiral, and Roper front-load washers. Replaces WP8182703, 8181646, AP6011831, and more.
Common Problems This Part Fixes

Install the new 8182703 shock absorber by inserting the pins into the top and bottom mounting brackets and rotating 90 degrees to lock in place. Replace all 4 shock absorbers during the same repair. Reconnect all panels and water hoses, plug in the washer, restore water supply, and run a spin cycle to verify normal operation. Work gloves are recommended as there are sharp edges inside the cabinet. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, channel-lock pliers, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the washer shock absorber do?
The shock absorbers are hydraulic dampeners that connect the outer washer tub to the base frame of the machine. During the spin cycle — when the drum spins at high speeds — the shock absorbers absorb and dampen the vibrations and movement of the heavy outer tub, keeping it centered and preventing it from striking the sides of the washer cabinet. Without functioning shock absorbers, the washer vibrates violently, makes loud banging noises, and can "walk" across the floor during spin, potentially damaging internal components over time.
How many shock absorbers does my front-load washer have?
Most Whirlpool-family front-load washers compatible with the 8182703 shock absorber use four shock absorbers — two mounted at the front of the tub and two at the rear. This listing is for a single shock absorber. When replacing shock absorbers, it is strongly recommended to replace all four at once, as they all experience the same amount of use and the remaining absorbers are likely to fail soon after the first one.
What is the difference between 8182703 and WP8182703?
These are the same shock absorber. WP8182703 is the updated Whirlpool OEM part number that superseded the original 8182703. The 8181646 is also a cross-reference to this same part. This aftermarket replacement is compatible with all three numbers.
My washer still vibrates after replacing the shock absorbers — what else could it be?
If vibration persists after replacing all four shock absorbers, other possible causes include an unbalanced or overloaded drum, worn drum bearings, a failing suspension spring, or the washer not being level on the floor. Check that the washer's leveling feet are adjusted so all four corners are in firm contact with the floor. Also confirm the load is not oversized — overloading is the most common cause of spin vibration and can prematurely wear shock absorbers.
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 high-quality reinforced materials to match the dimensions and performance of the original WP8182703 shock absorber.

XPARTCO WR55X10025 Refrigerator Temperature Sensor
The XPARTCO WR55X10025 is an aftermarket replacement refrigerator temperature sensor (thermistor) compatible with a wide range of GE, Hotpoint, Haier, Café, and Monogram refrigerators. The temperature sensor monitors air temperature inside the fresh food and freezer compartments and sends that data to the main control board, which uses it to regulate cooling cycles and maintain the correct set temperature. When the sensor fails, the refrigerator may run too warm, too cold, or experience erratic defrost behavior.
This sensor measures approximately 1-1/4 inches long and includes 18-inch wire leads. It is constructed from white plastic and is used in both fresh food and freezer compartments depending on the model — on some models it also functions as a defrost sensor on the evaporator coil. It directly replaces OEM part numbers WR55X10025 and a large number of earlier GE thermistor part numbers. Sold individually — some models require two sensors. Installs in under 30 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting Unplug the refrigerator from the power outlet before beginning any repair. To access the fresh food thermistor, locate the sensor on the left wall of the fresh food compartment — it may be clipped into a housing or bracket. Disconnect the wire connector and pull the old sensor out of its bracket. Slide the new WR55X10025 sensor into the bracket and reconnect the wire connector. To access the freezer or evaporator thermistor, remove the freezer shelves and back panel, then locate the sensor clipped to the evaporator coil bracket. Remove any tie wrap securing the sensor, pull the old sensor from the bracket, insert the new sensor, and reconnect the wire connector. Reinstall the back panel and shelves, restore power, and verify the refrigerator returns to the correct set temperature. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, flat pry tool (for panel clips), work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many temperature sensors does my GE refrigerator have?
The number of sensors varies by model. Many GE French door and side-by-side refrigerators use two or three WR55X10025 sensors — one in the fresh food compartment, one in the freezer, and sometimes one on the evaporator coil. Check your model's parts diagram or contact our support team with your model number to confirm how many you need before ordering.
What is a thermistor and how does it work?
A thermistor is a type of resistor whose electrical resistance changes with temperature. The main control board sends a small voltage through the thermistor and measures the resistance — a higher resistance means a lower temperature, and a lower resistance means a higher temperature. The board uses this reading to decide when to run the compressor and fans to maintain the set temperature. A failed thermistor sends incorrect readings, causing the refrigerator to over-cool, under-cool, or malfunction during defrost cycles.
Can a faulty temperature sensor cause the refrigerator to not defrost?
Yes. On models where the WR55X10025 also serves as the defrost sensor on the evaporator coil, a faulty sensor can cause the control board to incorrectly time or skip defrost cycles entirely — leading to excessive frost or ice buildup on the evaporator coils. This frost buildup can eventually block airflow and cause both the refrigerator and freezer sections to warm up.
How do I know if my temperature sensor is the cause of my cooling problem?
The most reliable way to test the thermistor is with a multimeter. Disconnect the sensor and measure its resistance at room temperature — a working WR55X10025 should read approximately 16,000 ohms at 32°F, dropping as temperature increases. An open circuit (infinite resistance) or short circuit (zero resistance) reading confirms the sensor has failed. If resistance is within the normal range but the refrigerator still has issues, the control board or other components may be at fault.
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 from durable plastic to match the dimensions and performance specifications of the original WR55X10025 temperature sensor.

XPARTCO DC97-16350U Washer Suspension Rod Kit (Set of 4)
The XPARTCO DC97-16350U is an aftermarket replacement washer suspension rod kit (set of 4) compatible with a wide range of Samsung top-load washers in the WA40, WA41, WA42, WA44, WA45, WA49, and WA50 series. The suspension rods are spring-loaded shock-absorbing rods that connect the outer washer tub to the top corners of the cabinet frame, suspending the tub and dampening the vibrations generated during agitation and high-speed spin cycles. When one or more rods lose tension, break, or degrade, the tub swings off-center and strikes the cabinet walls — causing violent shaking, loud banging, error code dc (out of balance), UE imbalance errors, and progressive damage to the machine.
Each rod measures 26.4–26.5 inches in overall length and 1-1/4 inches in diameter, constructed from spring steel with plastic end caps. The kit includes all 4 suspension rods — always replace all four at the same time since they wear at the same rate. It directly replaces DC97-16350S, DC97-16350T, DC97-16350E, DC97-16350C, DC97-16350D, DC97-16350K, DC97-05280W, 4962798, AP6884450, EAP12720841, PS12720841, and PD00065434. Wear gloves during installation — the rods are coated with grease. Installs in 20–30 minutes — no special tools required.

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 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 at the corners, 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 each rod from the cabinet bracket and lift the bottom cup off the tub mounting pin. Install each new DC97-16350U 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, and run a spin cycle to verify smooth, quiet, centered operation. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver; no special tools required for the rods themselves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between DC97-16350U and DC97-16350V?
Both are Samsung top-load washer suspension rods, but they are different lengths for different washer capacity generations. The DC97-16350U is approximately 26.4–26.5 inches long and is used on mid-capacity Samsung WA40 through WA50 series washers. The DC97-16350V is approximately 27.5 inches long and is used on larger-capacity WA48 through WA54 series washers. Using the wrong length rod causes the tub to sit at the wrong height inside the cabinet, which can cause new imbalance issues. Always measure your existing rods or verify your model number before ordering.
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 — this can cause continued vibration, accelerate wear on the new rod, and require a second repair shortly after. Replacing all four at the same time ensures even tub support, fully resolves the imbalance, and prevents a repeat repair.
Do DC97-16350S, DC97-16350T, and DC97-16350E all cross to the DC97-16350U?
Yes — DC97-16350S, DC97-16350T, DC97-16350E, DC97-16350C, and DC97-16350D are all cross-reference part numbers for the same Samsung suspension rod assembly used across different production runs of the same washer series. Samsung updates part number suffixes during production revisions. All of these numbers have the same 26.4–26.5" length and are interchangeable with the DC97-16350U.
What do error codes dc and UE mean on Samsung washers?
Error code dc on Samsung top-load washers indicates the machine has detected an out-of-balance condition and stopped spinning to prevent damage. Error code UE indicates an unbalanced load that the washer cannot self-correct by redistributing. Both codes can be caused by an overloaded or unevenly distributed laundry load — but if the errors occur consistently even with normal, balanced loads, worn or broken suspension rods are the most common mechanical cause. Replacing the rod kit resolves these errors in most cases.
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 DC97-16350U suspension rods.

WR55X10025 Genuine OEM GE Refrigerator Temperature Sensor
The WR55X10025 is a genuine GE OEM temperature sensor, also called a thermistor, for GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore refrigerators. This sensor measures air temperature inside the refrigerator or freezer compartment and reports it continuously to the main control board, which uses that reading to regulate the cooling cycle. On some models, this same sensor design also serves as the defrost sensor mounted on the evaporator coil, monitoring temperature there to help manage the defrost cycle.
Because the control board relies entirely on this sensor's reading to make cooling decisions, a failing or inaccurate sensor can cause the refrigerator to run too cold, too warm, or run for excessively long periods as it tries to correct a temperature it's misreading. On models where it doubles as a defrost sensor, a failure here can also contribute to frost or ice buildup in the freezer. This is a relatively inexpensive part, and it's commonly the actual cause behind symptoms that get mistakenly blamed on the main control board. It directly replaces AP3185407, 914093, AH304103, EA304103, PS304103, WR50X10027, WR50X10034, WR50X10055, WR50X10067, WR55X10025B, WR55X10026, WR55X10027, WR55X10028, WR55X10030, WR55X10087, WR55X10088, WR55X10089, WR55X10367, WR55X10380, WR55X10661, WR55X10711, WR55X10735, WR55X10736, WR55X10737, WR55X10937, WR55X10938, WR55X10939, WR55X11121, WR55X11141, WR55X11150, WR55X11151, and WR55X11152.
Quick Answer
The WR55X10025 Genuine OEM GE Refrigerator Temperature Sensor fixes GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore refrigerators that run too cold, too warm, run for excessively long periods, or (on models where this sensor doubles as a defrost sensor) show frost or ice buildup in the freezer. A healthy sensor reads approximately 5,000 ohms at 77°F. Replaces AP3185407, 914093, AH304103, EA304103, PS304103, and a wide range of WR50X/WR55X-prefix numbers listed below.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Danger — Authorized Service Part Required For Flammable Refrigerant Systems GE's own service guidance carries an explicit warning for this component: it is a manufacturer-authorized service part intended for use in refrigerator models that use a flammable refrigerant, such as R600a. Using an unauthorized or incorrectly rated service part in a unit that uses a flammable refrigerant could lead to a risk of fire or explosion. Before ordering or installing, confirm your refrigerator's refrigerant type and verify this part is correct for your specific model. If you have any doubt about your refrigerant type or the correct part for your unit, contact our support team with your model number before proceeding, or have a qualified appliance technician perform this repair.
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting — Test With A Multimeter Before Replacing Disconnect power at the outlet before beginning, and move perishable food to a cooler for the duration of the repair. Wear work gloves. Before replacing, it's worth testing the old sensor with a multimeter set to ohms — a healthy sensor reads approximately 5,000 ohms at 77°F; a reading well outside that range, or an open circuit, confirms a failed sensor. Locate the sensor, typically mounted on an interior wall of the compartment or clipped to the evaporator coil depending on your model. Photograph the wiring and mounting position before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the sensor's wire connector, remove any mounting clip or bracket, and pull the old sensor free. When positioning the new WR55X10025, make sure it sits in open air away from direct contact with ice buildup areas, since ice touching the sensor can cause it to read colder than the compartment's actual temperature. Reconnect the wire connector and secure the mounting clip. Restore power and monitor the refrigerator over the next 24 hours, comparing the display temperature to an independent thermometer placed in the compartment to confirm accuracy. Tools needed: multimeter, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I test whether this sensor has actually failed?
Use a multimeter set to ohms and test the sensor across its two terminals. A healthy sensor typically reads approximately 5,000 ohms at 77°F room temperature; a reading significantly outside that range, or no reading at all (open circuit), confirms the sensor has failed and should be replaced.
My display shows a temperature that doesn't match how cold the fridge actually feels. Could positioning be the issue, not the sensor itself?
Yes, this is a documented and somewhat subtle failure mode. If the sensor ends up positioned too close to an area where ice or frost accumulates, the ice's surface temperature can pull the sensor's reading colder than the actual compartment air temperature, causing the display to show a colder number than reality — sometimes off by several degrees. One customer traced exactly this issue to ice buildup near the sensor location and resolved it by ensuring the new sensor sat clear of that ice-prone area during installation.
Could my problem actually be the control board instead of this sensor?
It's worth testing this sensor first before assuming a control board issue. This is a relatively inexpensive part, and it's commonly the actual root cause behind symptoms that get misdiagnosed as a control board failure, since the board is only ever as accurate as the temperature data it receives. Testing or simply replacing this sensor is a low-cost step worth taking before pursuing a more expensive board repair.
Why is there a fire/explosion warning on this part?
Some refrigerators use a flammable refrigerant, such as R600a (isobutane), instead of older non-flammable refrigerants. Electrical components near refrigerant lines can be a source of ignition if a leak were ever present, which is why GE requires an authorized, correctly rated service part for these systems rather than a generic substitute. Confirming your model and refrigerant type before ordering is the appropriate precaution.
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 resistance curve and mounting configuration of the temperature sensor originally installed in your refrigerator.
