Whirlpool Washer Drum Kit (W10820043)

The Whirlpool Washer Drum Kit restores the washer drum assembly that holds and tumbles clothes during the wash and spin cycles. The drum rotates with the drive system to move water through the load, rinse detergent away, and extract water during high-speed spin. This kit is used when the drum or its related mounting surfaces are worn, damaged, or no longer running true.

Failure can happen from long-term bearing wear, repeated heavy or unbalanced loads, overloading, or debris that damages the drum surface or mounting points. Corrosion can also weaken metal parts over time, especially if the washer has frequent moisture buildup or leaks. When the drum assembly wears out or shifts out of alignment, the washer can become louder, less stable, or unable to spin normally.

These symptoms can help you decide if this drum kit matches your washer’s problem:

• Loud rumbling, grinding, or roaring noises during spin
• Drum feels loose, wobbles, or shows excessive play when pushed by hand
• Washer bangs, shakes, or walks more than normal even after leveling
• Clothes come out wetter than expected because the unit will not reach full spin
• Scraping sounds or visible scoring inside the drum
• Spin cycle stops, slows down, or struggles under load
