Product review (5 stars): This Fit my Sears Kenmore HE2 made by Whirlpool
In Nov, 2005 I purchased a Kenmore HE 2 washer that was actually built by Whirlpool and branded as a Kenmore.

This fit my washer.  The Kenmore Part number was 8540024, the Whirlpool Part number was W10130913

Hope that helps.  I wasn't exactly sure it was going to fit my washer, but it was an exact match.

Also,  it came in a Whirlpool Certified Parts box.

So it is NOT a chinese knock off part.

It also came with one extra hose clamp to help make the reassembly much easier.
