Function & Importance of the Tub Ring

The tub ring is mounted at the top of the washer’s inner tub and acts as a protective splash shield and stabilizing guide during wash and spin cycles.

It plays a key role in:

• Preventing water from splashing out of the inner tub

• Helping guide laundry movement during agitation

• Supporting proper circulation of water and detergent

• Reducing wear on internal washer components

Using a genuine OEM tub ring ensures correct fitment and structural integrity, which is essential for maintaining balanced operation and preventing unnecessary strain on the washer’s tub system.

What Happens When the Tub Ring Fails

A worn, cracked, or loose tub ring can cause several performance issues in a top-load washer:

• Water leaking or splashing outside the tub

• Unusual banging or rubbing noises during spin cycles

• Clothes getting caught or damaged during agitation

• Excess vibration or imbalance during operation

• Reduced washing efficiency and inconsistent cleaning results

These issues often worsen over time if the tub ring is not replaced, potentially affecting surrounding washer components.

Common Symptoms Indicating Replacement

If your Whirlpool top-load washer is experiencing any of the following, the WPW10362224 tub ring may need replacement:

• Visible cracks or damage on the upper tub ring

• Water splashing or leaking from the top of the washer

• Loud knocking or scraping noises during wash cycles

• Washer shaking more than normal during spin

• Clothing getting trapped near the tub edge

Replacing the tub ring can restore proper operation and help eliminate these symptoms when the ring is the root cause.
