Front Load Washing Machine Diagram and Parts
Knowing the parts of a front-load washing machine makes it easier to understand error codes and repair estimates. The diagram below shows a side cutaway with numbered parts.
Parts and what they do
The numbers match the numbered points in the diagram above.
- Control board (PCB). The electronic brain that controls every function.
- Detergent drawer. Holds detergent and softener and releases them with the water.
- Water inlet valve. Lets water into the machine when the board signals it.
- Outer tub. The fixed tub that holds the water around the drum.
- Drum. The perforated inner drum that holds the clothes and spins.
- Door and gasket. The glass door and rubber seal that keep water inside.
- Door lock. Locks the door during the cycle for safety.
- Bearing and shaft. Allow the drum to spin smoothly at high speed.
- Motor. Drives the drum, either through a belt or directly.
- Drive belt. Transfers power from the motor to the drum pulley on belt-drive models.
- Drain pump. Removes used water from the tub.
- Springs and shock absorbers. Support the tub and reduce vibration.
- Counterweight. A heavy block that keeps the tub stable during spin.
Match a symptom to a part
When one of these parts fails, the symptoms usually show up as a specific problem. For example, a worn drain pump causes drain errors, a worn belt or clutch affects spin, and a faulty board can cause random behaviour. Browse our problem guides to match a symptom to its likely cause.
