Description

The Whirlpool WP21366 washing machine is a critical yet simple component in your top-load washing machine. Often called a spanner nut, this right-handed threaded nut is essential to keeping the washer's inner tub in place. Think of it as a huge nut holding a bucket in the middle of the apparatus. During wash cycles, this inner tub rotates, and the spanner nut ensures it remains firmly attached to the drive block, providing the rotational force. Unusual noises, vibrations, and even harm to other washing machine components could result from a loose or broken spanner nut, which could cause the inner tub to wobble or even come loose.
