The Strap is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. It is a component located inside the washer tub that holds onto and spins the outer tub during the wash cycle. The strap washer plays an important role in securing the outer tub in place while continuously channeling rotational force to drive the washing action and clean clothes effectively.
Causes of a bad strap can include wear and tear from years of use, damage due to impact or mishandling, or degradation from chemical exposure.
Symptoms of a bad strap include:
- Excessive vibration or shaking during spin cycles
- Noise or grinding sounds coming from the washer tub area
- The outer tub wobbling or moving more than usual
- Uneven agitation that fails to thoroughly clean all clothes
This OEM replacement is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
