WP233520 Whirlpool Thrust Washer

Whirlpool's product line encompasses several well-known brands including 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 OEM part designed for use in Whirlpool washers and dryers. This part plays a crucial role in reducing friction between moving parts, placed strategically between rotating surfaces to facilitate smoother operations and enhance the durability of the appliance.

Over time, the Thrust Washer may require replacement due to normal wear and tear, excessive loading of the appliance, or insufficient maintenance. These factors can lead to increased operational noise, unusual vibrations, and reduced efficiency in appliance performance.

The Thrust Washer is compatible with various models from Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore. It addresses multiple issues such as failure to agitate, inability to spin or tumble, excessive noise, and a burning smell during use.

Replacing the Thrust Washer can help restore the appliance to its optimal working condition, ensuring it operates quietly and efficiently.
