WP3949550 – Genuine OEM Whirlpool Top Load Washer Tub Bolt Washer

The WP3949550 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Top Load Washer Tub Bolt Washer is a small but essential sealing component designed specifically for Whirlpool top load washing machines. As a Genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part, it is built to match factory specifications for durability, proper fit, and long-term washer performance.

Available from Appliance Kingdom, this part ships quickly across Canada, making it a reliable solution for homeowners, landlords, and appliance repair technicians who need a fast and dependable fix for washer agitation or sealing-related issues.

Function & Importance of the Tub Bolt Washer

The tub bolt washer sits beneath the agitator bolt inside a top load washer. Its main function is to:

  • Create a tight seal between the agitator bolt and drive shaft

  • Help secure the agitator firmly in place

  • Prevent water leakage and internal vibration issues

  • Maintain proper alignment during wash and spin cycles

Because it is a precision sealing component, OEM quality is important. A poor-quality washer can lead to loosening of the agitator, noise issues, or mechanical instability over time.

Common Symptoms of a Worn or Missing Tub Bolt Washer

If the WP3949550 is damaged, missing, or degraded, your washer may show:

  • Agitator spinning loosely or not engaging properly

  • Loud knocking or unusual noise during agitation

  • Washer not agitating clothes effectively

  • Water leakage from agitator area (in some cases)

  • Vibration or instability during wash cycles

These symptoms often point to a compromised agitator mounting system, where this washer plays a critical sealing and stabilizing role.
