Verify fitment against the unit model number before ordering, as spanner nut dimensions vary across appliance generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified appliance technician. Disconnect power to the appliance at the breaker or by unplugging the unit before beginning any disassembly. A spanner wrench sized to this nut style is required to seat or remove the fastener without damaging the hub or shaft. Do not use a hammer and punch as a substitute for the proper spanner tool, as this risks deforming the nut or shaft threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spanner Nut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOEM Status\u003c\/strong\u003e: Genuine OEM Replacement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: WHIRLPOOL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: W10726440\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"WHIRLPOOL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68086163112242,"sku":"W10726440","price":42.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f7af7a5c4151c4d1b893ec548f47de1a.jpg?v=1793186634","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/whirlpool-w10726440-spanner-nut-oem","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
