The Fiber Washer is an OEM part for Whirlpool appliances. This washer provides a reliable seal and is used in various connections within the appliance to prevent leaks and ensure secure fittings. Its fiber construction offers durability and resistance to wear, making it ideal for maintaining tight seals in high-pressure or high-temperature environments.
Common causes of a bad fiber washer include degradation from water or chemical exposure, physical damage from over-tightening, and natural wear and tear.
Symptoms of a bad fiber washer include:
- Water or fluid leaks at connection points
- Loose fittings or connections
- Visible wear, cracks, or deformation of the washer
- Decreased performance of the appliance due to improper sealing
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and some Kenmore models.
