Whirlpool Tub Ring W11161993 OEM Part

The Washer Tub Ring is an integral component specifically designed for top-loading washers produced by Whirlpool. This circular element surrounds the inner tub, holding water during wash cycles and ensuring efficient spinning during draining and spinning phases to remove excess water from clothes.

Whirlpool produces a diverse array of products under numerous brand names such as Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures items for both Sears-Kenmore and Ikea.

Although the tub ring is vital to washer functionality, it can degrade over time. Typical issues include cracks, chips, or other damage resulting from continuous use and tension. Problems may also stem from loose hardware, damaged tabs, or deformations, which could require part replacement.

Indicators that the tub ring might need replacement include:

- Water leakage during spin cycles
- Excessive noise or vibration
- Inefficient or delayed drainage
- Imbalance or misalignment of the washer while operating

This replacement component is officially supplied by Whirlpool and is compatible with various brands, including Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
