Product review (5 stars): Does the Job right
Our Kirkland by Whirlpool direct drive washer started making outrageous noises at the end of the spin cycle.  a little sleuthing on youtube pointed to the fix - replacing this part.  quite easy once you view the how to videos.

If your washer makes noises at the end of the spin cycle or is not spinning out the water, check for this part. It is made of a soft die-cast metal that wears easily - ten years in my case.
