The Baffle is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This part is located inside the washer drum and aids in lifting and moving clothes during the wash cycle, ensuring that water and detergent are distributed evenly for thorough cleaning.

Common causes of a bad baffle include wear and tear from frequent use, breakage due to heavy or unbalanced loads, or damage from foreign objects that may enter the washer drum.

Symptoms of a bad baffle include:

• Clothes not being cleaned evenly
• Unusual noises during the wash cycle
• Clothes getting tangled or damaged

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

This drum baffle is the internal clothes lifter for select 3.6-cu ft front-load washers. It helps tumble and separate laundry, improving wash action and preventing items from staying flat against the drum.

• Guides and lifts clothes as the drum rotates for better turnover and cleaning
• A damaged or missing baffle can cause poor wash performance or unusual tumbling noise
• Loose baffles may rattle or snag items during cycles
• Restores proper drum agitation and fabric movement

• Unplug washer and turn off water before servicing
• Access is typically from inside the drum; rotate drum to align and release/secure the baffle
• Reuse existing hardware if no new fasteners are provided
• The baffle is fully locked/secured before running a test cycle
