The RING-TUB Top Loading Washer is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool top-loading washers. The ring tub is cylindrical and houses the inner tub that holds water during the wash cycle. It allows for proper spinning of the tub during the drain and spin cycles to remove water from fabrics.
The ring-tub is subjected to rotational forces and vibrations during each cycle. Causes of a bad ring-tub include cracks, chips, or other damage due to stress and wear over time. Loose fasteners, broken mounting tabs, or a misshapen structure are also signs it needs replacement.
Symptoms of a bad ring-tub include:
- Water leaking from the tub during spin cycles
- Excessive noise or vibration
- Slow or inadequate draining of water
- The washer becomes imbalanced and off-center when spinning
This OEM Whirlpool replacement part is compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
