The Whirlpool 280160 Washing Machine Roller Set of 4 is a crucial replacement part for your washing machine. These rollers, also known as drum rollers, are situated beneath the wash drum and provide for smooth rotation during the wash and spin cycles. They consist of wheels, allowing them to spin efficiently and with minimal friction. When these rollers wear out or get broken, your washing machine may encounter uneven or noisy spinning, which can lead to imbalanced loads and excessive vibrations. Replacing worn-out rollers with a new set, such as the 280160, allows your washer's drum to spin smoothly again, reducing noise and vibrations while enhancing washing performance and efficiency.
