Washing Machine Ring - Tub - WPW10531289

Ensure your laundry stays inside the wash basket and protect your machine’s internal components with the WPW10531289 Washing Machine Tub Ring. This essential frame sits at the very top of the outer tub, acting as a splash guard to contain water and suds during high-speed agitation and spin cycles. It also helps balance the inner basket and prevents small clothing items, such as socks or handkerchiefs, from slipping over the edge into the gap between the tubs. If your current tub ring is cracked, warped, or missing its seal, you may experience leaks, loud splashing noises, or frequent pump clogs.

The WPW10531289 is manufactured from high-impact, moisture-resistant plastic designed to withstand constant exposure to water, detergents, and the physical vibrations of the wash cycle. Its precision-molded edge ensures a tight, secure fit against the outer tub, maintaining the structural integrity of your washer’s top-load system.

1. Safety First: Unplug the washing machine from the electrical outlet and turn off the water supply hoses.
2. Open the Cabinet: Use a putty knife or screwdriver to release the clips holding the washer’s top console or main top panel. Flip the top panel up or set it aside.
3. Locate the Tub Ring: The tub ring is the large plastic circle positioned on top of the outer wash tub.
4. Remove the Faulty Ring: Use a flat-head screwdriver to gently pry up the plastic locking tabs around the perimeter of the ring. Carefully lift the ring off the tub.
5. Clean the Tub Rim: Wipe away any soap scum, mineral deposits, or debris from the top edge of the outer tub to ensure a watertight seal with the new part.
6. Install the New Ring: Align the new WPW10531289 tub ring with the tabs on the outer tub.
7. Secure the Part: Press down firmly around the entire circumference until all locking tabs snap into place.
8. Reassemble: Lower the main top panel and snap it back into the cabinet clips. Restore power and water, then run a test cycle to check for leaks.
