The Front Load Washer Drum Baffle Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This kit includes the drum baffles, which are responsible for lifting and moving clothes within the drum during the wash cycle. This ensures that clothes are thoroughly cleaned by enhancing the tumbling action.
Causes of a bad drum baffle can include wear and tear over time, accidental damage from foreign objects left in the wash, or repeated exposure to heavy loads. These factors can lead to the baffles becoming loose or broken, reducing their effectiveness.
Symptoms of a bad drum baffle include:
- Clothes not tumbling properly
- Excessive noise during the wash cycle
- Visible damage or looseness in the baffles
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
Includes 3 baffles. For single baffle only use part number WP8182233. The mounting screw is part number WPY706189.
