Washer Plug Or Insert

The Washer Filter Plug Kit is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool washing machines. This kit includes the necessary components to seal the filter housing and prevent leaks, ensuring that the washer operates efficiently. The filter plug helps to maintain the proper water flow and filtration within the washer, preventing debris from clogging the system and ensuring clean and effective washing cycles. The kit includes 4 plugs and replaces the round filter under the basket.

Over time, the filter plug can become worn or damaged due to continuous exposure to water, detergent, and the mechanical stress of the wash cycles. Improper installation or accidental impact during maintenance can also cause the plug to fail. These issues can lead to leaks and reduced efficiency of the washing machine.

Symptoms of a bad washer filter plug include:

• Water leaking from the bottom of the washer
• The washer not draining properly
• Visible cracks or damage to the filter plug
• Excessive noise during the wash cycle

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
