The Tub Gasket is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool washing machines. This gasket forms a crucial seal between the washer tub and the cabinet, both preventing water leaks and reducing noise and vibration.
Causes of a bad tub gasket can include cracks, tears, or compression failures due to age, use, or impacts over time. Gaskets can also degrade with chemical exposure.
Symptoms of a bad tub gasket include:
- Water leaks from around the tub and cabinet interface
- Excessive noise or vibration during spin and agitation cycles
- Reduced washer balance resulting in thumping or off-center loads
This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
