Whirlpool 285438 Washer Shoe Brake
Product Description
The Whirlpool 285438 Washer Shoe Brake is a vital component of your washing machine. It stops the spin basket during the spin cycle and keeps it from rotating freely, much like an automobile brake. When engaged, these brake shoes contact the outermost part of the spin basket and are normally made of a wear-resistant material. This friction slows and finally stops the basket, ensuring that your clothing comes to a rest before the washer unlocks the door. A noisy spinning cycle or even the inability of the washer to effectively 285438 agitate or spin clothing can be caused by worn-out brake shoes. Replace the brake shoes with a genuine Whirlpool washer.
