WP8182210 – Genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Bellow Clamp
The WP8182210 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Bellow Clamp is an authentic Whirlpool replacement part designed for front‑load washing machines.

Available from Appliance Kingdom, a trusted Canadian appliance parts supplier based in Edmonton, Alberta, this part is in stock with fast Canada‑wide shipping for homeowners, landlords, and professional appliance repair technicians. Replacing a worn or damaged bellow clamp can stop door leaks and prevent water damage during wash cycles.
What the Washer Bellow Clamp Does
The washer bellow clamp secures the bellow seal — a flexible gasket between the washer’s front door and drum — to the outer tub of the machine. The bellow and clamp work together to create a watertight seal that keeps water inside the washer during wash and rinse cycles.
Over time, the clamp can lose tension, become misshapen, or corrode, which reduces its ability to hold the bellow securely. A compromised clamp allows the bellow to shift or separate from the tub, leading to leaks and moisture issues outside the washer.
Using a Genuine OEM Whirlpool part like WP8182210 preserves the washer’s original design and ensures proper clamp tension and seal integrity.
Common Symptoms Indicating Replacement
If the bellow clamp is failing, you may notice issues such as:
-
Water leaking from around the washer door during cycles
-
Moisture or puddles on the floor after washing
-
The bellow seal appearing loose or shifted from its position
-
Washer door seal not seating properly or gaps at the seal edges
-
Unusual noises near the door seal area during operation
These symptoms often occur when the clamp can no longer hold the bellow seal tightly against the outer tub, allowing water to escape. Replacing the WP8182210 bellow clamp restores proper sealing and prevents leaks.
