The Retainer is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. It is designed to hold various components in place within the washing machine, ensuring they remain securely attached during operation.
You should replace the retainer if it becomes damaged or worn out. Causes of a bad retainer can include regular wear and tear, physical damage from impacts, or degradation from constant use. A compromised retainer can lead to components becoming loose, which may cause noise, inefficiency, or further damage to the washing machine.
Symptoms of a bad retainer include:
- Loose or misaligned internal components
- Unusual noises during the wash or spin cycles
- Components shifting or falling out of place
- The washing machine vibrating excessively or not operating smoothly
