Customer Questions and Answers for Tub Ring by Whirlpool

The Tub Ring is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines to ensure a secure and leak-proof seal between the washer's tub and the top of the machine. This component plays a role in preventing water from splashing out during the wash cycle, especially during high-speed spins. 

The causes for these issues can range from natural wear and tear due to repeated use, to physical damage from overloading the washing machine or using improper detergents that can degrade plastic components. 

Symptoms of a failing Tub Ring include:

• Water leaking from the top of the washing machine during cycles
• Excessive vibration or noise, which could indicate that the ring is not properly dampening the movement of the tub
• Visible cracks, warping, or damage to the tub ring, compromising its ability to seal

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