WP387240 Whirlpool Balance Ring for Washer/Dryer Inner Basket

Balance Ring for Washer/Dryer Inner Basket

This part is suitable for use when your laundry machine exhibits excessive shaking or movement. The balance ring, an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part specifically designed for Whirlpool washers, is a crucial component situated inside the washer's tub. It helps ensure smooth operation during both the agitation and spin cycles by evenly distributing weight and minimizing vibrations.

Common indicators of a malfunctioning balance ring include:
- Noticeable banging or loud noises during the spin cycle
- Significant movement or shaking of the washer
- Uneven distribution of laundry and detergent within the tub
- Gradual loosening or detachment of internal parts

The deterioration of a balance ring typically results from normal wear and tear, the stress of unbalanced loads, or physical damage such as cracks.

This genuine Whirlpool part is also compatible with appliances from Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore.
