Whirlpool Bumper, Bushing, Grommet Parts

This small rubber bumper cushions and stabilizes moving appliance parts to reduce vibration, noise and wear. It restores proper spacing where a worn or missing stop lets components rub or rattle. What it does:

• Acts as a soft stop to prevent metal-on-metal contact and dampen vibration
• Helps eliminate rattling or scraping noises from doors, drawers or panels
• Maintains correct alignment and spacing of moving parts
• Protects finishes and extends service life of mating components

• Typically pressed or snapped into a socket or mounting post; no special tools usually required
• Clean the mounting area of dirt and residue before installing for best adhesion/fit
• Ensure the bumper is the correct match and fully seated before operating the appliance
• Disconnect power when working near electrical or moving parts

This bushing is a small sleeve-style bearing that supports a rotating shaft and reduces metal-to-metal wear for smooth operation. It helps restore proper alignment and quiet operation when the original bushing is worn. What it does

• Guides and supports a rotating shaft or spindle to reduce friction and wear
• Prevents metal-to-metal contact that can cause grinding or scoring
• Helps stop rubbing, squeaking, or vibration caused by a worn bearing surface
• Restores proper alignment of the moving component for smoother operation

• Inspect the mating shaft and housing for wear or damage before installing a new bushing
• Press or seat the bushing evenly; avoid hammering directly on the bushing surface
• Use proper tools and safety gear; disconnect power or unplug the appliance before service
• If surrounding parts are worn (shafts, seals, clips), replace them to prevent premature bushing failure

This rubber bumper cushions and protects appliance components, reducing noise, vibration and wear where parts contact the cabinet or other surfaces. It helps keep moving panels and assemblies aligned for quieter, smoother operation. What it does:

• Acts as a shock absorber to dampen vibration and noise
• Prevents metal-to-metal contact that can cause wear or chipping
• Helps maintain proper spacing and alignment of doors, panels or moving parts
• Commonly used where a soft, durable stop is needed to protect surfaces

• Install in the original mounting location; ensure bumper seats fully against the surface
• Clean mounting area of dirt and old adhesive or debris before installing
• No special tools typically required; use gentle pressure to press into place or light adhesive if the OEM design calls for it
• Disconnect power to the appliance before attempting repairs that require access behind panels

This spacer fits between tank components to maintain proper spacing and alignment, helping reduce vibration and wear. Use this genuine replacement to restore correct clearances and improve stability in the appliance's tank assembly. What it does:

• Positions and separates tank parts to maintain correct alignment during operation
• Helps reduce noise and vibration caused by misaligned components
• Prevents metal-to-metal contact that can cause premature wear or damage
• Restores factory clearances after service or replacement of tank parts

• One spacer

• Designed for direct replacement; use the OEM mounting location and orientation
• Disconnect power and water (if applicable) before beginning repair
• If fasteners or surrounding components are worn or damaged, replace them to ensure a secure fit
