WP691581 Whirlpool S Product Range

Whirlpool's product range includes brands like Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures components for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea appliances. One such component is the Thrust Washer, an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part designed for use in Whirlpool washers and dryers. This component plays a crucial role in reducing friction between the appliance's moving parts, helping to ensure efficient operation and prolong the durability of these components. Positioned between rotating surfaces, the thrust washer is susceptible to wear and damage from continuous stress and movement.

The need to replace a thrust washer typically arises from normal usage, excessive loading of the appliance, or insufficient maintenance.

Signs that a thrust washer may need replacement include:

- Increased operational noise
- Unusual vibrations during use
- Reduced performance efficiency

This OEM replacement part is compatible with various models from Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore.

Replacing the thrust washer can resolve several issues, such as:

- Failure to agitate
- Inability to spin or pump
- Lack of tumbling
- Excessive noise
- Emission of a burning odor

Ensuring regular maintenance and timely replacement of the thrust washer can significantly enhance the performance and longevity of your appliance.
