The Washer Shipping Bolt Kit comprises four bolts: two assigned to the top and two to the bottom of the unit. This product is an authentic OEM component tailored for Whirlpool washing machines, playing a crucial role in stabilizing the drum during transport. By immobilizing the internal parts, the kit prevents potential damage as the appliance is relocated. It serves a variety of brands, including Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, Admiral, as well as certain Kenmore and Ikea models.
Replacing the Shipping Bolt Kit might be necessary if the original bolts were misplaced during installation or have deteriorated over time.
Signs indicating the need for a new Shipping Bolt Kit include:
1. Planning to move a washing machine without access to the original bolts, which could increase the likelihood of damage.
2. Noticing that previous bolts are either missing or impaired, requiring replacement to ensure safe handling during future relocations.
This kit guarantees the stability and security of your washing machine during transportation, safeguarding it against potential harm.
