Customer Questions and Answers for Tub Ring (Upper Tub Splash Guard) by Whirlpool

This tub ring mounts to the top of the washer's outer tub to act as a splash guard and cover. Replacing a cracked or loose ring helps contain wash water and helps prevent leaks or debris from the top. What it does:

• Forms the upper splash guard around the outer tub to keep water contained during wash and spin
• Serves as the top cover at the tub opening, locking in with tabs/clips
• Damage (cracks, broken tabs) may lead to leaks from the top, rattling, or a loose ring
• Visible wear can leave plastic fragments in the basket or around the tub opening

• 1 tub ring

• Disconnect power and turn off water supplies before servicing
• Lift or remove the top/console per model design to access the tub opening; support the lid
• Release the locking tabs/clips and remove the old ring; clean the tub lip
• Align and press the new ring evenly until all tabs fully engage; reassemble and test
