Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL W11762673 is a groove pin, a small but essential fastening component used to secure or align parts within an appliance assembly. Groove pins rely on their longitudinal grooves to create an interference fit when pressed into a drilled hole, locking mating components in place without threads or additional hardware. This part carries the OEM part number W11762673 and is sourced directly under the Whirlpool brand. Installation typically requires no specialized tools beyond basic hand or press-fit equipment, making it a straightforward service replacement for a qualified technician or experienced repair professional.

Groove pins of this type are commonly found in appliance drive trains, door hinge assemblies, agitator mechanisms, and similar subassemblies where a compact, press-fit fastener is required. This part is intended for use in Whirlpool-manufactured appliances where the OEM specification calls for part number W11762673. Confirm fitment against the appliance model and service manual before installation.
