WPW10250572 Whirlpool Washing Machine Tub Baffle

Washing Machine Tub Baffle

Whirlpool manufactures a range of products under various brands including Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, they produce items for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The tub baffle, an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part designed for Whirlpool washers, plays a crucial role in laundry processes. It agitates the laundry, facilitating the thorough mixing of water and detergent with the fabrics, which enhances the cleaning effectiveness.

The deterioration of a baffle can result from normal usage, overloading the machine, or from the machine being struck by heavy or sharp objects.

Indications of a malfunctioning baffle are:
- Loud noises such as thumping or banging during operation
- Unevenly cleaned clothes
- Physical damage to the baffle, like cracks or breaks
- The baffle detaching from the drum

This specific OEM part is compatible not only with Whirlpool washers but also with appliances from Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and some Kenmore models.
