WP3967051 - Genuine OEM Whirlpool Top Load Washer Tub Dampening Strap

The WP3967051 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Top Load Washer Tub Dampening Strap is a critical suspension component designed for Whirlpool and compatible brand washing machines. Built to exact OEM specifications, this washer-specific part ensures proper tub stability and vibration control during operation. Available from Appliance Kingdom with fast, Canada-wide shipping, it’s a trusted solution for restoring smooth, quiet washer performance.

If your washer is shaking excessively, making loud noises, or failing to spin properly, this tub dampening strap is a commonly required replacement.

Function & Importance of the Tub Dampening Strap

The tub dampening strap (also known as a suspension strap or snubber strap) supports and stabilizes the washer tub by connecting it to the cabinet frame. Its main role is to:

  • Absorb vibrations during wash and spin cycles

  • Maintain proper tub balance and alignment

  • Prevent excessive movement that can damage internal components

Without a properly functioning strap, the washer tub can move uncontrollably, leading to noise, poor washing performance, and potential long-term damage.

Using a Genuine OEM part like WP3967051 ensures the correct elasticity, strength, and fit—essential for maintaining factory-level performance and safety.

Common Symptoms of a Faulty Dampening Strap

If your top load washer is experiencing any of the following issues, this part may need replacement:

  • Excessive shaking or vibration during spin cycle

  • Loud banging or unusual noises

  • Washer moves or “walks” during operation

  • Poor agitation or incomplete washing performance

  • Washer fails to spin properly

  • Visible wear, stretching, or breakage of the strap

Will replacing this part fix your issue?
Yes—if the tub is unstable or vibrating excessively, a worn or broken dampening strap is a common root cause. Replacing it often restores smooth, balanced operation.
