The Tub Seal is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. Located between the outer tub and inner basket, it forms a barrier preventing leaks that could damage surrounding components and structures. Effective sealing preserves both washing performance and unit integrity. Causes of a bad tub seal can be cracks or compression failures due to repetitive impacts and stresses from continual clothes tumbling. Detergents and temperature fluctuations also break down rubber over decades when exposed to laundry environments. Symptoms of a bad tub seal include:  Water leakage noticed around the base of the washer cabinet Reduced or inefficient cleaning from leaking wash water  Potential water damage risks to floors and home infrastructure This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.
