This drum spider is the metal support that mounts to the back of the washer drum, helping keep the tub stable during spin cycles and restoring smooth operation. Replaces a worn or broken spider to reduce wobble and vibration. What it does:

• Supports the inner drum and transfers spin torque from the motor to the tub
• Keeps the drum aligned during high-speed spins to prevent wobbling and knocking
• Worn or cracked spiders can cause loud banging, uneven spinning, and excess vibration
• Restoring the spider can stop abnormal drum movement and protect bearings and seals

• Disconnect power and water before beginning repair
• Replacing the spider requires drum removal and disassembly; follow the OEM service manual
• Inspect drum bearings, seals, and fasteners while drum is apart; replace any damaged parts
• Use proper tools and torque specifications when reassembling to ensure safe operation

This part may be black or gray in color.
