When a washer or dryer needs a replacement belt, filter, hose, knob, switch, rack, or other accessory, the right part can help restore normal operation without replacing the entire appliance. Genuine Replacement Parts offers laundry accessories and replacement parts for compatible washers and dryers, including belts, lint filters, hoses, pumps, valves, heating elements, knobs, switches, racks, handles, and other model-specific components.
Laundry Accessories for Common Washer and Dryer Repairs
Regular washing and drying cycles can cause components to wear over time. A dryer that takes too long to dry, a washer that will not fill or drain, or a drum that stops rotating may have a problem with a specific component. Identifying the affected part and matching it to the appliance model can help make the repair easier.
For equipment used in high-volume laundry environments, you can also explore our commercial laundry accessories collection for compatible commercial laundry components.

How to Find the Right Laundry Part
Start with the complete washer or dryer model number printed on the appliance rating label or manufacturer documentation. Search by model number, part number, or component name. Compare the replacement with the original for dimensions, mounting points, connectors, electrical ratings, and compatibility information before ordering.
| What to Check |
Why It Matters |
Before Ordering |
| Model number |
Different washer and dryer models can use different components. |
Match the complete appliance model. |
| Part number |
The original manufacturer part number can help identify the exact replacement. |
Compare the existing part number when available. |
| Appliance type |
Washers and dryers use different mechanical, electrical, and water-system parts. |
Confirm whether the part is for a washer or dryer. |
| Dimensions and mounting points |
Physical differences can prevent proper installation. |
Compare measurements and mounting locations. |
| Electrical or water connections |
Heating elements, pumps, valves, and controls require compatible specifications. |
Compare connectors, terminals, fittings, and ratings. |
Common Washer and Dryer Problems
Identifying the symptom can help narrow down which component needs inspection. A dryer that does not heat may have an issue with the heating element or control system, while a washer that does not fill or drain may require inspection of its valve, pump, hose, or related components.

What to Check |
| Drum does not rotate |

Heating element, thermostat, control components |
Inspect the heating and temperature-control components. |
| Dryer takes too long to dry |
Lint filter, airflow components, heating element |

Match Laundry Accessories to the Exact Model
Laundry accessories are not universally interchangeable. Belts, filters, heating elements, pumps, valves, hoses, knobs, switches, and other components can have different dimensions, electrical ratings, connections, or mounting configurations. Use the complete appliance model number and manufacturer part number when available to confirm compatibility.
Inspect Related Components During the Same Repair
Some problems involve more than one component. A dryer with poor drying performance may require inspection of the lint filter, airflow path, heating element, and controls. A washer drainage issue may involve the pump, filter, hose, and connections. Inspect related components during the same repair to help identify additional wear or damage.
