Function & Importance of the Tub Wear Pad Set

The tub wear pads (also known as suspension pads or snubber pads) are installed at the base of the washer tub assembly, above the suspension plate. Their primary role is to:

  • Reduce friction and wear between metal components

  • Stabilize the washer tub during agitation and spin cycles

  • Absorb vibration and movement to prevent excessive shaking

These pads act as a cushion between moving parts. When functioning correctly, they allow controlled movement of the tub while preventing direct metal-to-metal contact.

Using a genuine OEM set like 285744 is critical, as improper materials or sizing can lead to poor balance, increased wear, and long-term damage to internal washer components.

Common Symptoms of a Faulty Tub Wear Pad

If your top-load washer is experiencing any of the following issues, worn tub wear pads may be the cause:

  • Washer shakes or vibrates excessively during spin cycle

  • Loud grinding or scraping noises (metal-on-metal contact)

  • Washer becomes unbalanced or “walks” across the floor

  • Increased noise during agitation or spinning

  • Washer performance becomes inconsistent

Will replacing this part fix your issue?
Yes—if your washer is unstable, noisy, or shaking excessively, replacing worn tub wear pads is a proven and effective repair solution.
