W11123149 Whirlpool Washing Machine Washplate Cap

Washing Machine Washplate Cap

The washplate cap is a genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part designed for Whirlpool washing machines, ensuring a precise fit over the central agitator shaft. This component serves to securely cover the agitator post and is manufactured to meet exact tolerance levels for a snug fit.

Whirlpool's range of brands includes Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures compatible parts for appliances sold under the Sears-Kenmore and Ikea brands.

The primary reasons for the deterioration of the cap are general wear and tear from regular use, along with prolonged exposure to detergents and washing chemicals. It can also suffer damage from the impact of heavy loads being dropped on it.

Indications of a malfunctioning cap are:
- The cap moving or shifting during the wash cycle.
- Noise such as clicking or clanking due to a loose fit.
- Inadequate stabilization of the wash basket.

This washplate cap is compatible with various models from Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore, enhancing its utility across a broad range of appliances.
