Controls, timers and wiring

Symptom: A cycle that doesn't advance, the wrong water level filling, an unresponsive display, or the washer not starting at all.

Check: Look for burn marks or a burnt smell near the board or terminals, and check whether buttons and knobs respond -- a unit that powers on but won't cycle often traces back to this group.

Parts in this group on 3K45SS: 4163711 (Phase Control Board), WPW10325124 (Mixer Phase Control Board).

Storage, trim and cosmetic hardware

Symptom: A cracked shelf, broken door bin, worn hinge, or missing trim piece -- cosmetic and storage wear rather than a functional breakdown.

Check: Match the physical dimensions and mounting tabs of the old part before ordering; these pieces are often model-specific even between visually similar models.

Suspension and tub hardware

Symptom: Excessive vibration, banging, or the machine "walking" during the spin cycle.

Check: Check that all leveling legs are actually contacting the floor, then inspect the suspension rods or springs for wear or a broken mount point.

Parts in this group on 3K45SS: WP243368 (Agitator Shaft).

Door and drum seals

Symptom: A door boot or gasket that's torn or losing its seal, letting water leak out during the wash or spin cycle.

Check: Check the door boot or gasket for tears, especially near the drain hole at the bottom, and confirm it isn't pinched or twisted where it clamps to the drum.

Parts in this group on 3K45SS: WP4162324 (Mixer Transmission Case Gasket).

Before you buy

Match 3K45SS exactly against the model and serial plate on the appliance itself before ordering anything — a single mismatched character can point to a different production run with different parts. Then check the part number printed or stamped on the part you are replacing against the part numbers in the table above; the printed number is the most reliable way to confirm fitment when a model has gone through multiple production runs. RepairKitHub does not sell parts directly — every part link above routes to an Amazon search for that part number so you can compare current listings and sellers yourself.

How to confirm this is your model

On most washers, the model and serial plate sits under the lid or on the back panel. Match every character exactly, including letters and dashes at the end — appliance model numbers often have similar prefixes but different suffixes for different production runs.
