W10814296 – Genuine OEM Whirlpool Top Load Washer Tub Seal
The W10814296 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Top Load Washer Tub Seal is a precision-engineered sealing component designed for top-load washing machines. Manufactured by Whirlpool, this genuine OEM part ensures a watertight seal between the washer’s inner spin basket and outer tub, preventing leaks and maintaining proper operation.
Available from Appliance Kingdom, this part ships quickly across Canada, making it a reliable solution for homeowners, landlords, and appliance technicians. If your washer is leaking from underneath or showing signs of seal failure, this OEM tub seal is a proven, long-term fix.
Function & Importance of the Tub Seal
The tub seal sits around the drive shaft at the bottom of the washer tub, forming a watertight barrier between moving components. It prevents water from escaping into internal mechanical areas such as the bearings or transmission.
Using a genuine OEM seal is critical because:
-
It ensures proper sealing under high-speed spin conditions
-
Prevents water damage to internal components
-
Maintains washer efficiency and longevity
When this seal wears out or fails, water can leak into areas that are not designed to handle moisture, leading to more costly repairs if left unaddressed.
Common Symptoms of a Faulty Tub Seal
If your top-load washer is experiencing any of the following issues, replacing the W10814296 tub seal is often the correct solution:
-
Water leaking from the bottom or centre of the washer
-
Moisture or oil residue beneath the machine
-
Loud noises during spin (due to water reaching bearings)
-
Washer shaking or moving excessively
-
Reduced washing performance or incomplete cycles
A failed tub seal is one of the most common causes of under-tub leaks in top-load washers.
