Available from Appliance Kingdom (Canada), this part ships quickly across the country and is trusted by homeowners, landlords, and appliance repair technicians for restoring washer performance and preventing costly water damage.
Function & Importance of the Tub Gasket
The tub gasket (also known as a tub ring seal) is responsible for creating a secure water-tight seal around the agitator shaft and tub assembly.
In a Whirlpool top load washer, it plays a critical role by:
-
Preventing water from leaking out of the wash tub during cycles
-
Protecting internal components such as bearings and transmission from moisture damage
-
Ensuring stable wash performance and correct water containment
Using a genuine OEM gasket ensures proper sealing pressure, correct fit, and long-term durability under repeated agitation and spin cycles.
Common Symptoms of a Faulty Tub Gasket
If the WP3359587 gasket begins to wear or fail, you may notice:
-
Water leaking from the center or bottom of the washer
-
Visible dripping around the agitator area
-
Excess moisture under the washer after cycles
-
Unusual grinding or noise due to water reaching internal components
-
Progressive mechanical wear if leakage is left unresolved
A failing tub gasket can lead to serious internal damage, so replacement is recommended as soon as leakage is detected.
