Whirlpool Washer Drum Baffle - Genuine OEM W11460395
W11460395 Whirlpool Washer Drum Baffle – Fix Your Washer With a Broken, Cracked, or Rattling Drum Paddle That Snags Clothes or Makes Noise
The essential fix for a Whirlpool top-load washer with a broken, cracked, or loose drum paddle that rattles during spin, snags or tears clothes, makes scraping or banging noises, or has fallen off completely.
The drum baffle is the vertical plastic fin inside the wash drum that lifts and tumbles clothes during the wash cycle. Over thousands of cycles, the plastic can crack (from stress at the mounting points), break off (from impact with heavy items like shoes or tools), or become brittle (from heat and detergent exposure).
A broken baffle creates multiple problems:
- Rattling noise — the broken piece bounces around inside the drum during spin, making loud banging sounds
- Clothes snagging — sharp edges from the crack catch on fabric, tearing delicate items
- Poor washing — without all baffles functioning, clothes don't tumble properly and cleaning effectiveness drops
- Imbalance — clothes clump on one side of the drum during spin, causing the washer to shake violently or stop with an unbalanced load error
If you hear rattling during spin, see a crack in a baffle, or find torn clothes with no obvious cause, inspect the drum baffles.
Replaces: W11110198, W11198668, W11318717
Compatible with: Whirlpool, Maytag, Amana, and Kenmore top-load washers.
Installation: Easy 10–20 minute DIY repair. Sold individually.
IMPORTANT: This is a genuine OEM Whirlpool part. Always disconnect power before servicing.
