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.

Genuine OEM WP95405 Washer Drive Belt
The Genuine OEM Whirlpool WP95405 is a washer drive belt, a looped rubber V-belt, 1/2 inch wide and 47-3/8 inches long, that runs between the motor pulley and the drive pulley. When the motor turns, the belt turns the drive pulley, which spins the basket and agitates the clothes. A worn, stretched, or damaged belt can cause squealing at the start of the spin cycle, thumping during spin, longer wash times, or poor cleaning.
This is the original Whirlpool part. It is listed for Whirlpool-built washers sold as Whirlpool and Kenmore. Replacing a belt takes some work to access the drive, and belts differ between washer families, so check the part number against your model before ordering.
Quick Answer
The Genuine OEM WP95405 Drive Belt fixes a Whirlpool or Kenmore washer that squeals or thumps during spin, takes longer to wash, or doesn't spin or agitate properly because the belt is worn or loose. Classic symptom: a squeal when the spin cycle starts, or a basket that spins slowly or not at all while the motor runs.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Squealing at the start of the spin cycle
Thumping noise during spin
Longer wash times or poor cleaning
Basket spins slowly or doesn't spin although the motor runs
Visibly worn, stretched, cracked, or broken belt

Reviewers rate this repair from moderate to very difficult, taking roughly 1 to 2 hours or more.
Frequently Asked Questions
My washer squeals when the spin starts. Is this the part I need?
A worn or loose drive belt is a common cause. One reviewer reports a squeal at the start of spin that went away after the belt was replaced and tightened.
Is WP95405 the same as 95405?
Yes. 95405 is the older Whirlpool number, and WP95405 is the current number. This belt also replaces the other older numbers in the Replaces list above.
Is this an easy repair?
It depends on your model. Reviewers rate it from moderate to very difficult, usually taking 1 to 2 hours or more, because the drive has to be reached and the belt reseated. Follow your model's service guide.

W11670519 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Lid Lock Latch Assembly
The W11670519 is a genuine Whirlpool OEM lid lock latch assembly for Maytag top-load washers on the Cabrio-style MVW platform. Unlike a simple mechanical lid switch, this is a true electronic lid lock: a 3-wire connector feeds the assembly, which both senses whether the lid is closed and physically locks it shut once a cycle with spin is underway. The control won't allow the washer to spin — and on many cycles won't even let it start — until this assembly confirms the lid is closed and locked, which is why a failing latch produces such a wide range of symptoms: a washer that won't start, a lid that won't lock or won't release, cycles that stall or interrupt partway through, or a washer that fills and agitates but refuses to spin.
Built from high-strength, wear-resistant ABS and PP plastic with a precision locking mechanism, this assembly is designed to prevent the lid from popping open mid-spin, which protects against water leakage and the safety hazard of an open lid on a spinning basket. Common failure modes include a locking mechanism that has worn out and can no longer engage or release reliably, a broken internal switch that stops signaling lid status to the control board, and simple wear from years of daily cycling. It directly replaces W11368616, AP7214714, PD00085482, 4981394, PS17215992, and EAP17215992. As a genuine OEM part, the W11670519 is manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.
Quick Answer
The W11670519 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Lid Lock Latch Assembly fixes Maytag top-load washers on the Cabrio-style MVW platform where the washer won't start, the lid won't lock or won't release, the washer fills and agitates but won't spin, the cycle stalls or interrupts, or the lid clicks repeatedly without locking. 3-wire electronic lid lock, ABS/PP construction. Replaces W11368616, AP7214714, PD00085482, 4981394, PS17215992, EAP17215992. This is a locking latch assembly, not a simple lid switch — it's a different design from the direct-drive and GE-platform lid switches elsewhere in our catalog.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Washer won't start even though the lid is closed
Lid won't lock, or locks but won't release when the cycle ends
Washer fills and agitates normally but won't spin
Persistent clicking sound from the lid area without the lid actually locking
Cycle stalling or interrupting partway through
Lid feels loose or doesn't seat and lock the way it used to
Error code related to the lid lock displayed on the control panel
Water leakage risk from a lid that isn't sealing and locking properly during spin

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer Before Starting — If The Lid Is Locked Shut, Release It Manually First Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves. If the old latch has failed in the locked position and you can't open the lid, insert a small flathead screwdriver into the latch opening where the lock mechanism engages through the lid, and gently slide the mechanism back to release it — then prop the lid open so it can't re-close and re-lock while you work. Remove the two screws holding the top section (control panel, lid, and wash basket opening) and slide the top of the unit forward and up to remove it, then prop it securely (a sturdy support between the cabinet frame and the top panel works well) rather than relying on your hands to hold it up. With the top propped open, remove the plastic cowl that the lid latch sits inside, which also retains the lock mechanism. Unclip the wiring harness from the retaining clips running around the inside of the lid and let the assembly hang free. Photograph the wiring connections before disconnecting the 3-wire connector from the old assembly. At the back of the lid, two metal spring clips retain the mechanism — squeeze these with your fingers or a set of pliers to release the old assembly, then pop the new W11670519 into place the same way. Reconnect the 3-wire connector, reclip the wiring harness into its retaining clips, and reinstall the plastic cowl. Lower the top panel back into position, reinstall its retaining screws, and confirm the lid closes, latches, and locks correctly through a full test cycle including spin. Tools needed: small flathead screwdriver, Phillips screwdriver, pliers, a sturdy prop for the top panel, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My washer fills and agitates but won't spin. Is this the lid lock?
Yes, this is one of the most common symptoms of a failing lid lock latch on this platform. The control requires confirmation that the lid is closed and locked before it will allow the higher-speed, higher-torque spin cycle to run, even if it's willing to run the gentler fill and agitate steps without full confirmation. If your washer gets partway through a cycle and simply refuses to spin, this assembly is a strong suspect.
The lid keeps clicking but never actually locks. What does that mean?
A repeated clicking sound without the lid actually locking usually points to a worn or failing internal locking mechanism inside this assembly — it's attempting to engage but can't complete the lock reliably. This is a textbook symptom that this part has worn out and needs replacement.
My washer's lid is locked shut and won't open. How do I even get it open to do this repair?
With the washer unplugged, you can usually manually release the lock: insert a small flathead screwdriver into the latch opening where the mechanism engages through the lid, and gently slide it back to disengage the lock. Once the lid is open, prop it so it can't fall shut and re-lock while you continue the repair.
Is this the same part as the lid switches used on other Whirlpool washers?
No. This is an electronic locking latch assembly specific to the Maytag Cabrio-style MVW platform, and it works differently from the simpler mechanical lid switches used on other Whirlpool-family platforms, including the direct-drive top-load switch, the Whirlpool thin-twin switch, and various GE-platform switches we also carry. These parts are not interchangeable with each other — always match the assembly to your specific washer platform.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It includes the same 3-wire electrical connection, locking mechanism, and ABS/PP construction as the lid lock latch assembly originally installed in your Maytag Cabrio-style washer.

W11700916 Washer Genuine OEM Door Latch
The W11700916 is a genuine Whirlpool OEM lid lock assembly for Whirlpool top-load washers, and also fits select Maytag and Kenmore models. This assembly ensures the washer's lid remains securely locked during the wash and spin cycle, preventing access to the moving parts inside while the drum is in motion and confirming to the control board that the lid is safely closed before the cycle can proceed.
This part is a superseding design, replacing the earlier W11394572 lid latch. Over time, the internal locking mechanism can wear out or fail electrically. A failing lid lock typically shows up as the lid not locking properly during a cycle, or the washer failing to start at all, since the control board won't proceed without confirmation the lid is securely closed. It directly replaces W11543566, W11394572, W11032875, AP7219279, and PS17217010.
Quick Answer
The W11700916 Washer Genuine OEM Door Latch fixes Whirlpool, Maytag, and Kenmore top-load washers where the lid isn't locking properly, or the washer won't start at all. Replaces W11543566, W11394572, W11032875, AP7219279, PS17217010. This is a newer superseding lid lock design — if your washer's original latch is one of the numbers it replaces, this is the correct current part to order.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Lid isn't locking properly during the wash or spin cycle
Washer won't start at all
Lid pops open or unlocks unexpectedly mid-cycle
Cycle stalls at the start and won't proceed to wash or spin
Washer pumps or agitates but won't spin because the lid isn't sensed as locked
Cross Reference Information

Note: This is a distinct lid lock design from other Whirlpool washer latches already in our catalog, such as our W10404050 and W10810403 listings — Whirlpool has used multiple different lid lock designs across its top-load washer lineup over the years. Always verify your full model number before ordering, or match the exact part number printed on your old latch. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves. Open the washer lid and locate the lid lock assembly mounted on its underside, typically secured with a couple of screws. Photograph the wiring harness connection before disconnecting anything. Remove the mounting screws, disconnect the wiring harness connector from the old assembly, and pull it free. Install the new W11700916 in the same position, reconnect the wiring harness connector fully, and secure the mounting screws. Restore power and run a test cycle to confirm the lid locks securely, the washer starts and completes a full cycle, and the lid unlocks normally once finished. Tools needed: multi-screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My washer's lid isn't locking properly. Is this the part I need?
Yes, this is the classic symptom this assembly addresses. Since the control board won't proceed into the wash or spin cycle without confirmation the lid is closed and locked, a worn or failing lock assembly can prevent the washer from starting or cause it to stop mid-cycle if the lock fails while running.
My old part number is W11394572. Is this the same thing?
This W11700916 is the current superseding part for W11394572 — Whirlpool has updated the part number, and this is the correct part to order now even if your washer's original latch was labeled with the older number.
Is this the same latch as other Whirlpool washer lid locks you sell?
Not necessarily — Whirlpool has used several different lid lock designs across its top-load washer lineup over the years, including other designs found elsewhere in our catalog. Always match your exact original part number, or your full washer model number, rather than assuming any "Whirlpool lid lock" will fit your machine.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original locking mechanism and wiring harness configuration of the lid lock assembly designed for your washer.

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.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO W10734521 Washer Clutch Slider Kit fixes Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, KitchenAid, and related HE top-load washers that won't spin or agitate properly, won't transition between cycle phases, leave clothes soaking wet, or make grinding noise during the spin cycle. Slider kit only — electromagnetic clutch (W10754448) is sold separately. Includes slider (2-7/8" OD), spring support (1-5/8" OD), 30mm spiral, and bolt.

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 285753A Washer Direct Drive Motor Coupler
The XPARTCO 285753A is an aftermarket replacement direct drive motor coupler (also called a motor coupling or drive coupler) compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool-family top-load washers including Whirlpool, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Maytag, Amana, Roper, Admiral, Estate, Crosley, Inglis, and Magic Chef. The motor coupler connects the drive motor shaft to the transmission — transferring the motor's power to the transmission to drive the agitator and spin the drum during wash and spin cycles. It is a deliberate weak point in the drivetrain: if the washer is overloaded, the coupler breaks apart first, protecting the far more expensive motor and transmission from damage.
This is the updated 285753A design with metal sleeves for added strength — it replaces all previous coupler styles and versions including the original 285753, 280152, 285743, and 285140. This kit includes 2 plastic coupling halves and 1 rubber isolation dampener. Dimensions approximately 2" L x 1-1/4" W x 2" H. Fits direct-drive top-load washers only — not compatible with belt-drive machines. Installs in 30–45 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO 285753A Washer Motor Coupler fixes top-load washers that fill and drain normally but will not agitate or spin. The motor coupler connects the motor to the transmission — when it breaks, the motor runs but neither the agitator nor the drum moves. Kit includes 2 plastic coupling halves and 1 rubber dampener. Updated design with metal sleeves. Replaces all previous coupler versions including 285753, 280152, 285743, 285140. Compatible with Whirlpool, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Maytag, Amana, Roper, Admiral, and more direct-drive top-load washers.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Washer fills with water and drains but will not agitate or spin
Motor runs (you can hear it) but agitator and drum do not move
Washer spins slowly or incompletely — clothes still very wet after spin cycle
Loud humming or buzzing from the motor area without agitation or spin
Burning rubber or plastic smell during the wash or spin cycle
Washer shakes excessively — broken coupler causing uneven power transfer
Broken plastic or rubber pieces visible inside the bottom of the washer cabinet
Replaces Part Numbers
This motor coupler directly replaces the following OEM and cross-reference part numbers:
285753A, 1195967, 21003, 280152, 285140, 285743, 285753, 285753AVP, 3352470, 3363664, 3364002, 3364003, 62672, 62693, 661560, 80008, 8559748, AWP39583, PD00002353, AH1485646, EAP1485646, EA1485646, TJ285753, ER285753, AP3963893, PS1485646.
The 285753A replaces all previous motor coupler styles and versions. If your parts diagram shows any of the older numbers above, the 285753A is the correct current replacement.
Compatibility
This motor coupler is compatible with select direct-drive top-load washers from the following brands:
Whirlpool top-load washers (direct drive — no belt)
Kenmore / Sears top-load washers — 70 series, 80 series, 90 series, and 110 series (Whirlpool-built)
KitchenAid top-load washers
Maytag top-load washers (direct drive models)
Amana top-load washers
Roper top-load washers
Admiral top-load washers
Estate top-load washers
Crosley top-load washers
Inglis top-load washers
Magic Chef top-load washers
Important: The 285753A is for direct-drive top-load washers only — machines where the motor connects directly to the transmission without a belt. It is not compatible with front-load washers or older belt-drive top-load washers. If you can see a drive belt inside your washer cabinet, this is not the correct part.
Key Features
Connects the drive motor shaft to the transmission — transfers motor power to drive the agitator and spin drum
Intentional sacrificial part — designed to break before the motor or transmission during overload, saving far more expensive components
Updated 285753A design with metal sleeves — stronger than original all-plastic versions; replaces all previous coupler styles

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer and Shut Off Water Before Starting Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before beginning. Remove the washer's cabinet by releasing the top panel clips and removing the front panel screws — the motor and transmission are at the bottom of the machine. The motor coupler is a three-piece assembly between the motor shaft and the transmission input shaft. Pull the motor forward to release it from the mounting clips. The broken coupler pieces will likely fall out at this point — inspect the motor shaft and transmission shaft for any remaining plastic debris and clear it. Press the new rubber dampener onto the motor shaft coupling half first, then onto the transmission shaft coupling half, and snap the motor back into the mounting clips. Verify both coupler halves are seated securely and the rubber dampener is centered between them. Reassemble the front panel and top panel. Restore power and run a short cycle to confirm the agitator and spin function normally. Work gloves recommended — sharp sheet metal edges inside the cabinet. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver, flat-head screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the motor coupler do?
The motor coupler is a three-piece assembly — two plastic coupling halves and a rubber dampener — that connects the drive motor shaft to the transmission input shaft in direct-drive washing machines. The motor spins the coupler, which transfers that rotation to the transmission, which in turn drives the agitator and drum. The rubber dampener absorbs shock and vibration between the rigid motor and transmission shafts during direction changes. The coupler is intentionally designed as the weakest link in the drivetrain — if the washer is overloaded or the transmission seizes, the coupler breaks first to protect the far more expensive motor and transmission from damage.
My washer fills and drains but won't agitate or spin — is the motor coupler the cause?
Yes — this is the classic symptom of a broken motor coupler. Because the pump is typically driven directly by the motor before the coupler connection, a broken coupler allows the motor to run and the pump to drain normally, but neither the agitator nor the spin drum receives any power. If you can hear the motor running but nothing moves, open the washer cabinet and inspect the coupler — you will likely find broken plastic pieces at the bottom of the cabinet near the motor and transmission.
Why does the motor coupler break?
The most common cause is overloading — packing too many heavy items into the washer creates enough mechanical resistance that the coupler snaps rather than allowing the motor to be damaged. Other causes include a worn or seized transmission, a worn motor, normal wear over many years of use, or a single sudden jam caused by a foreign object. If your coupler breaks a second time shortly after replacement, inspect the transmission for signs of wear or binding — a stiff or seized transmission will continue to break new couplers.
What is the difference between 285753 and 285753A?
The 285753A is the updated current version that superseded the original 285753. The A version incorporates metal sleeve inserts in the plastic coupling halves for improved strength and durability compared to the original all-plastic design. The 285753A replaces all previous versions — including 285753, 280152, 285743, and 285140 — and is the correct part to order regardless of which older number is listed in your washer's parts diagram.
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 rubber, plastic, and metal to match the dimensions and performance of the original 285753A motor coupler.

XPARTCO 22003483 Washer Drive Belt
The XPARTCO 22003483 is an aftermarket replacement drive belt for Whirlpool-built Maytag Atlantis top-load washers. This belt is the mechanical link between the drive motor and the washer's drive system — it's what actually transmits the motor's rotation to spin the drum, so both agitation and spin depend entirely on this belt gripping its pulleys correctly and staying properly tensioned.
Made of black rubber, this belt measures 52 inches long. Over years of use, the belt material gradually hardens and glazes over, becoming smooth and "slick" rather than gripping the pulleys firmly — this degradation can cause the belt to slip under load even before it shows any visible cracking or damage. A worn belt produces a range of symptoms depending on how far the wear has progressed: the washer may pump water but fail to spin, fail to agitate at all, spin noticeably slower than normal, or produce a chirping or slipping noise, especially as the motor shifts between wash and spin modes. It directly replaces WP22003483, WP22003483VP, AP6006365, PS11739438, 22002709, 62608400, 62618130, and 824667.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO 22003483 Washer Drive Belt fixes Maytag (Whirlpool-built) top-load washers that pump but won't spin, won't agitate, spin slowly, or make a chirping/slipping noise as the motor shifts modes. 52 inches long, black rubber. Replaces WP22003483, WP22003483VP, AP6006365, PS11739438, 22002709, 62608400, 62618130, 824667. A belt can slip and cause symptoms well before it looks visibly worn — years of use leave the rubber "slick" and unable to grip the pulleys properly, even without visible cracking.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Washer pumps water but won't spin
Washer won't agitate
Washer spins noticeably slower than it used to
Chirping or slipping noise, especially as the motor shifts between wash and spin modes
Belt that has become glazed, hardened, or "slick" from years of use
Visible cracking, fraying, or glazing on the belt surface
General noise or vibration during the wash or spin cycle

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves. Access is typically through the rear panel: remove the screws securing the panel to reach the motor and belt area. Loosen the motor's mounting screws so the motor can be pushed toward the drum, releasing tension on the old belt. Slide the old belt off its three pulleys and remove it. Route the new 22003483 belt over the same three pulleys, matching the original path. With the belt in place, gently push the motor away from the drum by hand to apply tension, then tighten the motor's mounting screws while continuing to check belt tightness — the belt should have firm, even tension across all three pulleys with no excess slack. Reinstall the rear panel, restore power, and run a full test cycle through both agitate and spin to confirm smooth, quiet operation with no chirping or slipping. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My washer makes a chirping noise when it shifts from agitate to spin. Is that the belt?
Yes, this is a documented symptom of a worn belt. One long-term owner traced this exact chirp to a 10-year-old belt that had become "slick" from age — smooth and hardened enough that it briefly slipped on the pulleys as the motor shifted between modes, rather than moving cleanly into position. Replacing the belt resolved the noise completely.
My belt doesn't look cracked or damaged. Could it still be the problem?
Yes. A belt can degrade in ways that aren't obvious at a glance — the rubber can harden and glaze over time, becoming slick and losing its grip on the pulleys even without visible cracking or fraying. If your washer is slipping, chirping, or spinning weakly and the belt has been in service for many years, age-related slickness is a reasonable explanation even if the belt still looks intact.
How do I know if I have the right belt length for my washer?
This belt is 52 inches long and specific to the Maytag Atlantis top-load platform. Whirlpool and Maytag use different belt lengths across other washer models, so always confirm your model number matches the compatibility list, or measure your old belt for comparison, before ordering.
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 length, profile, and material of the original WP22003483 drive belt used in compatible Maytag Atlantis top-load washers.

XPARTCO W11457841 Washer Lid Latch Strike
The XPARTCO W11457841 is an aftermarket replacement washer lid latch strike compatible with select Whirlpool, Maytag, and Kenmore HE top-load washers — including the Whirlpool WTW5100, WTW5105, WTW6120, WTW7120, WTW8120, WTW8127 series, and the Maytag MVW6200, MVW6230, MVW7230, MVW7232, MVW8230 series. The lid latch strike is the plastic component attached to the underside of the washer lid that physically engages the lid lock mechanism when the lid is closed. As the lid lowers into place, the latch strike enters the lock slot and activates the lid switch — signaling the control board that the lid is securely closed and the washer is safe to start agitation and spin.
When the lid latch strike fails — typically by breaking off, cracking, or wearing down — the lid lock can't be properly activated, and the washer will not start, will stop mid-cycle, or will refuse to advance to the spin cycle. This W11457841 aftermarket replacement is built to OEM-equivalent specifications and supersedes the earlier W11091027. It also replaces 4959179, AP6987306, EAP16218028, PD00061788, and PS16218028. Installation is fast and simple — a counterclockwise twist removes the old strike, and a clockwise twist installs the new one. Installs in under 5 minutes, no special tools required.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves Disconnect power before beginning. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. Open the washer lid and locate the lid latch strike on the underside of the lid — it's the small plastic peg that drops into the lock slot when the lid is closed. To remove the old latch strike: rotate it counterclockwise until the retaining tab breaks free and pulls back, then pull the old latch strike straight out. To install the new W11457841: align it with the mounting hole in the same orientation as the old one, and rotate clockwise until you hear or feel the retainer tab click into place. Close the lid and confirm the latch strike engages the lock slot properly. Restore power, start a test cycle, and confirm the lid locks and the washer begins normal operation. Tools needed: work gloves only — no tools required for the strike itself.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between the lid strike, lid lock, and lid switch?
These three components work together as a safety system. The lid latch strike (W11457841) is the small plastic peg attached to the underside of the lid that physically enters the lock slot when the lid closes. The lid lock is the mechanism in the washer cabinet that grips the strike and physically locks the lid closed during the spin cycle. The lid switch is the electrical sensor inside the lock assembly that signals the control board when the strike is engaged. If the strike is broken or missing, none of the three can do their job — even if the lock and switch are working perfectly. Replacing just the strike often resolves "won't start" issues without needing to replace the more expensive lock assembly.
What is the difference between W11457841 and W11091027?
These are the same lid latch strike across production revisions. W11091027 was the earlier OEM part number, and W11457841 is the current part number that superseded it. Both are physically and functionally identical — if your washer's parts diagram shows W11091027, the W11457841 is the correct current replacement, and this aftermarket part covers both numbers.
My washer won't start and the lid seems to close normally — could this be the strike?
Yes, this is one of the most common symptoms of lid latch strike failure on compatible Whirlpool and Maytag washers. Even though the lid appears to close, if the strike has cracked or worn down it may not physically engage the lock or activate the switch correctly. Visually inspect the latch strike on the underside of the lid — if it's broken, missing, or chipped, replacement is straightforward. If the latch strike looks intact and the washer still won't start, the lid lock assembly itself or the wiring harness may need attention.
Do I really not need any tools to install this?
Correct — the W11457841 lid latch strike uses a twist-in design with no screws or hardware. To remove the old latch strike, rotate it counterclockwise until the internal retaining tab breaks free, then pull it out. To install the new one, push it into the mounting hole and twist clockwise until it clicks into place. The whole replacement typically takes under 5 minutes once you have the new part in hand. Work gloves are recommended to protect your hands while gripping the small plastic part, but no other tools are needed.
Is this a Genuine 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, twist-in mounting design, and lid switch activation function of the original W11457841 lid latch strike used in compatible Whirlpool, Maytag, and Kenmore HE top-load washers.

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.

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.
