The Center Shaft O-Ring is an OEM part for Whirlpool mixers. This small but crucial component provides a watertight seal around the center shaft, preventing liquids and ingredients from leaking out of the mixer during operation. It helps ensure the smooth and efficient performance of the mixer by maintaining a proper seal.
Over time, the center shaft O-ring can become worn, cracked, or damaged due to regular use, exposure to various mixing ingredients, and the constant motion of the mixer. When the O-ring is compromised, it can lead to leaks and reduced mixing efficiency.
Symptoms of a bad center shaft O-ring include:
- Leaking of liquids or ingredients from the mixer
- Reduced mixing efficiency or performance
- Visible wear, cracks, or damage to the O-ring
- Difficulty in achieving a proper seal during use
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
