Washer parts
Bearing and seal kit for the Duet family (not made by Whirlpool)
Sold by other companies as a replacement for Whirlpool and Maytag front-loaders, listed under W10772619, W10290562 and W10283358. It is not a Whirlpool part: check it against your model number before ordering.
GE: tub bearing WH2X1198 (genuine GE Appliances)
Sold as a standalone genuine part for some GE washers. Match it to your model number before you order.
Part number: WH2X1198Motor coupling, 285753A (metal core)
The part that fails first and most often. Plastic ends wear, the motor spins, the tub does not.
Motor coupling, 285753A — BlueStars metal core
Same part, the version most repair shops keep on the van.
Clutch assembly, 285785 (Whirlpool OEM)
Genuine Whirlpool. If the tub spins slowly or squeals on spin-up, this is it.
The three-part kit: clutch, coupling and agitator dogs
Everything above in one box. Cheaper than buying them one failure at a time.
Agitator dogs, 80040 (4-pack)
When the agitator turns one way and the clothes do not move, it is these.
Lid switch, 3949238
Washer fills but will not spin, and there is no error code: check this first.

Refrigerators
Read the refrigerators guide →
Fridge and freezer thermometer, digital, 2-pack
A refrigerator whose compressor is struggling drifts warm slowly. Two thermometers, one in the fridge and one in the freezer, turn that into a number you can watch.
Toy trucks
Tonka Steel Classics Mighty Dump Truck
Real steel dump bed, sturdy plastic body. The yellow one most people picture.
House paint
Wet film thickness gauge comb, 1-80 mils
A notched metal comb: you press it into the fresh paint and read the last wet notch. It is how you check that four wet mils really went on, which is the number the data sheets quote.
Model kits
Tamiya sharp pointed side cutter (74123)
Sprue cutters made for plastic kits. They cut the part away instead of tearing it, which is what makes an old mold with heavy flash bearable. The cheapest fix for check four.
Revell P-51D Mustang, kit 03944 (1:32)
Same aircraft as the 1977 tooling in the episode, in a larger scale, under a product number that starts with 03. Check its release history before you order, exactly as in check two.
Part number: 03944
