The Snubber Ring is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This part dampens the vibration and noise produced during the washer's spin cycle. Positioned at the base of the tub, the snubber ring provides a cushion that absorbs the impact between the moving parts and the stationary frame of the washer.
Over time, wear or dust on the snubber ring can reduce its effectiveness, causing increased vibration, noise, and stress on the washing machine components, possibly leading to premature failure.
Symptoms of a bad Snubber Ring include:
- Unusual noise during the spin cycle
- The washing machine vibrating more than usual or "walking" across the floor
- Increased wear and tear on other components due to excessive vibration
This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.
This part fixes the following symptoms- Shakes and moves
- Noisy
- Pumps but will not spin
