Whirlpool WPW10223198 Washer Counterweight

The Whirlpool WPW10223198 Washer Counterweight is an essential component for keeping your washing machine running smoothly and silently. It's a large weight that is fastened to the washer's exterior tub and is often constructed of iron or concrete. The counterweight provides balance as the drum spins rapidly during the spin cycle. Washing machines that are not balanced can wear down more quickly and create a lot of racket. The counterweight makes your washer run more quietly and lasts longer by minimizing vibration. This Whirlpool WPW10223198 is a replacement part made exclusively for certain Whirlpool washing machines. If you notice that your washer shakes a lot when it spins, it is possible that a damaged or worn-out counterbalance is to blame.
