For Whirlpool Tub-Outer (Part Number: OEM12957045)

Jack for Model Number WFW9450WR00

The inner tub opening varies in diameter from about 15 1/2 inches to a little over 16 inches. The rear of the inner tub appears to have what look like dents around the outer edge. The machine is making a loud banging noise a times, not always, when on spin cycle. Some of the banging seems to be coming from the rear of the tub when you stand behind it while it is operating in spin mode. The inner tub appears to be making contact with the outer tub at the front by the door. Is this an inner tub issue or an outer tub issue? What parts would you recommend be replaced?

1 Answer

Jack,

Based on the issue it sounds like this would be caused by a faulty spider on the unit which would need to have the inner tub replaced on the unit.

Paul,

It would be recommended to replace the front tub if the inner tub has been rubbing against it. Also check the inner tub spider on the back of it for being broken. This may be the cause for the shaking around.

Rick,

Yes, if you purchase the rear outer tub of the unit it will have the bearings and seals included with it.

Hello Jody! No, we can not recommend the two drums to be interchangeable as both models use different parts. For model GHW9400PL1 use basket part number WPW10269756 and outer tub part number W10772618. Found model WFW9200SQA10 (not WFS9200SQA10), use basket part number WPW10040480 and outer tub part number 280232. Thanks.

Hello Jamie. You will need to order the outer tub assembly 280232. On a scale of 1-5, this repair would be a 5 for hard. You will have to disassemble the whole machine in order to replace the outer tub. This is a 4 to 6 hour job for some people.
