285976 Whirlpool Front Load Washer Drum Baffle Kit

The Whirlpool Front Load Washer Drum Baffle Kit is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) component designed for Whirlpool washing machines. This kit consists of drum baffles that play a crucial role in lifting and moving the laundry during the wash cycle, which helps ensure a thorough clean by improving the tumbling process.

Over time, drum baffles can deteriorate due to normal wear and tear, damage from objects left in clothing, or the strain from consistently washing heavy loads. This deterioration can cause the baffles to become loose or break, which diminishes their functionality.

Indications of malfunctioning drum baffles include:
- Inadequate tumbling of clothes
- Increased noise during operation
- Visible damage or looseness of the baffles

The kit is compatible with various brands under the Whirlpool umbrella, including Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore.

Common issues resolved by replacing the drum baffles include:
- Marks remaining on clothes after washing

Whirlpool also manufactures components for other brands such as Sears-Kenmore and Ikea, ensuring a wide compatibility and availability of parts.
