The Spin Tube Thrust Washer is an OEM component for Whirlpool washing machines. It is a washer that fits around the agitator shaft and helps create a seal between the agitator shaft and the aluminum tub. This washer allows the agitator to spin freely during the wash and spin cycles without causing excessive vibration or noise. 

Symptoms of a bad spin tube thrust washer include:

• Noises like banging or clunking coming from the agitator area
• Shaking or vibrating of the washer tub during spinning 

Causes of a bad thrust washer include normal wear and tear after extended use. Exposure to extended periods of unbalanced loads can also put excessive strain on the washer components and lead to premature failure of the thrust washer seal.
