W10289554A - Genuine OEM Whirlpool Front Load Washer Shipping Bolt Kit

Ensure safe transport of your front load washer with this Genuine OEM Whirlpool Shipping Bolt Kit W10289554A. This essential accessory is designed to protect the internal wash tub and basket during moves or deliveries, preventing costly damage from vibration or drum movement. It’s the genuine manufacturer‑certified solution trusted by service professionals and appliance owners alike.

What This Part Does & Why It Matters

Front load washers have a suspended drum assembly that must remain stable during transportation. The W10289554A Shipping Bolt Kit includes four precision‑engineered transport bolts that screw into the back of the washer’s tub to immobilize the wash basket, protecting suspension components, internal seals, and shock absorbers during transit.

Using the correct genuine OEM shipping bolts ensures proper fit, reliable protection, and avoids damage to critical internal components — especially important for high‑value appliances. After installation is complete and the appliance is in place, these bolts must be removed before regular operation to allow the drum to move as designed.

Common Indicators You Need This Part

You don’t use shipping bolts during regular washer operation — they’re installed only for moves or delivery. However, you may need a replacement kit if:

• You’re relocating a front load washer and the original bolts are missing.

• Bolts were misplaced after delivery and you want to safely secure the drum for transport.

• Existing shipping bolts are worn, bent, or damaged from handling.

Using this kit will help prevent internal suspension noise, drum damage, or costly repairs when transporting your front load washer.

Compatibility Guidance

This part is specifically for front load washing machines.
Always verify your exact washer model number before ordering to ensure compatibility with the shipping bolt locations and thread specifications.

Installation Overview
