Whirlpool WP8540357 Washer Spin Basket

The Whirlpool WP8540357 is a replacement spin basket, which is the main component of your washing machine that rotates garments at high speeds to eliminate extra water after the cleaning cycle. It's a drum that is cylindrical and has holes all over it to let water escape while holding clothing inside. Water is forced through the holes and out of the drum by the motor's rising speed during the spin cycle. The washing machine is then emptied of any remaining water. To effectively remove water and make sure your garments don't get left drenched, you need a functional spin basket. Your washer's performance can be restored by replacing a worn-out or damaged spin basket, which could result in shorter drying periods and possibly cheaper energy costs.
