Product review (2 stars): Not OEM; made in Korea, missing plastic tabs
I sure wish Amazon would get their act together about OEM vs aftermarket/branded vs counterfeit parts. I understand that the seller is saying "by Whirlpool" to convince buyers that this should fit their washer, but it sure would be nice to be able to click a search filter and actually buy the real thing.

The one that came out of my washer was made in Germany by emz, had the advertised part number embossed on it, and had two plastic tabs on the lower-right that catch the plastic cable stay inside the washer. The device I received from the seller was made in Korea, had its own marking scheme, and is missing the plastic tabs.

It didn't work the first time I installed it. After some jiggling around and fiddling with connectors, it worked the second time, and I'm now washing a load of laundry. I hope it continues to work. I would have been much happier had I been able to find a genuine OEM part.
