W10909670 – Genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Spanner Nut

The W10909670 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Spanner Nut is an original manufacturer replacement part designed specifically for Whirlpool washing machines. This washer component plays a critical mechanical role in securing the wash basket to the drive system, ensuring stable operation during wash and spin cycles.

Supplied by Appliance Kingdom, a trusted Canada-based appliance parts retailer, this genuine OEM spanner nut is in stock and ships fast across Canada, including Edmonton, AB. Replacing a worn or damaged spanner nut is a common and effective solution for washer instability, excessive vibration, or basket movement issues.

Function & Importance of the Washer Spanner Nut

In a washing machine, the spanner nut fastens the inner wash basket firmly to the drive block or shaft. This secure connection allows the basket to rotate smoothly and remain properly aligned during high-speed spin cycles.

Using the correct OEM spanner nut is essential because:

• It maintains proper basket alignment

• It prevents loosening under repeated torque and vibration

• It protects surrounding components such as the drive block, bearings, and transmission

A non-OEM or improperly sized nut can loosen over time, leading to mechanical stress, noise, and premature wear of major washer components.

Common Symptoms Indicating Replacement

Replacing the washer spanner nut can often resolve the following issues:

• Inner wash basket feels loose or wobbly

• Excessive vibration or banging during spin cycles

• Loud knocking or grinding noises

• Basket not spinning evenly or slipping under load

• Washer performance degrading over time

If your washer basket does not feel securely mounted, replacing this spanner nut is frequently the correct repair.
