The Whirlpool WPW10283356 Drum Baffle lifts and moves clothes inside the washer drum for effective cleaning. Attached to the drum’s interior, this raised component shifts garments as the drum rotates during wash cycles. Proper fabric movement supports even washing and helps prevent laundry from collecting in one area. A cracked, loose, or missing baffle may cause unusual noise, uneven washing, or fabric damage. Replacing a damaged baffle restores proper garment movement and consistent washing performance. Designed for compatible Whirlpool washing machine models, this replacement part provides a practical solution for a worn or broken drum baffle.
