424190P Genuine Cap and Bolt Kit, Grey, for Fisher & Paykel Top Load Washing Machines, Washer Centre Cap and Bolt

The 424190P kit is a genuine Fisher & Paykel cap and bolt set in grey, for F&P top load washing machines. A white cap and bolt kit is stocked under a different number, so match the colour of the original. With no model list on file, compare the cap shape with the one in your washer and check your parts list for 424190P before ordering.

Missing or damaged washer centre cap

In the middle of the bowl sits a cap covering the bolt that holds the wash action part, the agitator or wash plate, onto its shaft. The cap keeps clothes away from the bolt and stops water and lint getting into the fixing. If the cap cracks or goes missing, items can snag, small things can slip under it, and the bolt can corrode or loosen. A loose bolt may let the agitator wobble or knock. Replacing the cap and bolt together keeps the fixing tight and tidy.

Fitting the cap and bolt

Unplug the washer first. Prise the old cap off carefully, undo the bolt beneath it and clear away any lint or residue. Fit the new bolt, tightening it firmly without forcing the thread, then press the grey cap home until it sits flush. Turn the agitator or plate by hand to check it is secure, then run a short wash to confirm there's no knocking.

Questions about this part

Can I use the white kit instead?

The white cap and bolt kit is a different part, 421040P, and the colour won't match a grey centre. Check your parts list, or send your model and serial number through the parts enquiry form, to confirm which kit your washer takes.
