WPW10215107 Whirlpool Washing Machine Upper Outer Tub Ring

The Washing Machine Upper Outer Tub Ring is a genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part designed for Whirlpool washing machines. It is crucial for creating a tight seal between the machine's upper tub and the main body, helping to prevent leaks and water spillage during operation, particularly at high spin speeds.

Whirlpool's brand portfolio includes Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures compatible components for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea.

Common issues with the Tub Ring often stem from normal wear and tear after extended use, or from physical impacts such as overloading the machine or using harsh detergents that may weaken the plastic.

Indicators that the Tub Ring may need replacement include:
- Water leaks at the top of the machine during wash cycles
- Unusual noise or excessive vibration, suggesting the ring isn't effectively absorbing the tub's movements
- Visible signs of damage like cracks, warping, or other deformities that impair its sealing function

This part is also compatible with other brands in the Whirlpool family, such as Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and certain Kenmore models.
