Customer Questions and Answers for Tub Ring by Whirlpool

This washer tub ring, sometimes called a tub cover, snaps onto the outer tub to contain splashing and guide water back into the basket. Replacing a cracked or loose ring helps reduce top-side leaks and protects fabrics at the tub opening. What it does:

• Forms the molded upper edge of the outer tub and acts as a splash guard
• Helps direct water back into the basket during wash and spin
• Maintains proper clearance at the tub rim to prevent fabric snags
• Common signs of failure: visible cracks/broken tabs, loose fit, or water splashing/leaking from under the lid/top

• 1 tub ring

• Disconnect power and turn off water; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Raise or open the top to access the tub opening
• Release the retaining clips/tabs and detach any connected hoses from the old ring
• Align and press the new ring evenly until all tabs fully engage; verify an even, secure fit before reassembly
