Customer Questions and Answers for Spacer Pad (Round) by Whirlpool

This round spacer pad cushions and separates contacting parts inside your appliance to maintain proper alignment and help reduce noise and wear. Replacing a worn or missing pad restores smooth, quiet operation and protects adjacent components. What it does:

• Maintains correct spacing between mating parts to prevent rubbing
• Dampens minor vibration and impact to reduce squeaks or rattles
• Helps protect finishes and edges from scuffs or chips at contact points
• Common signs of failure: pad is missing, flattened, hardened/cracked, or you notice harsher contact and new noises

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Use your model's parts diagram to locate the pad's position and quantity used
• Match placement/orientation to the original; install in the same position
• Clean the contact surface so the pad seats flat and adheres or fits properly
