The Front Load Washer Drum Baffle is an OEM part for Whirlpool front-loading washing machines. This component plays a crucial role in directing water flow and distributing it evenly throughout the wash drum during the washing cycle.
Over time, the drum baffle can become worn or damaged due to the constant exposure to water, detergents, and the repeated impact of clothes during the wash cycles. This can lead to inefficient water distribution, reduced cleaning performance, and increased noise levels.
Symptoms of a bad drum baffle include:
- Uneven or incomplete cleaning of clothes
- Tangling or balling up of clothes during the wash cycle
- Excessive vibrations or loud noises during the wash cycle
- Water leaks or improper drainage
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
