Whirlpool 38359 Tub Cover Gasket Oem

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL 38359 is a genuine OEM tub cover gasket designed to restore the watertight seal between the tub cover and tub assembly in Whirlpool washing machines. Over time, gaskets compress, crack, or tear, allowing water to bypass the seal and cause leaks during the wash or spin cycle. This replacement part meets original factory specifications and is sourced directly from Whirlpool, ensuring proper fit and material integrity. Appliance technicians and experienced DIY repair persons typically install this part as part of a tub seal or water leak diagnosis repair.

This gasket is used in residential washing machine applications where the tub cover seal has failed or is showing signs of wear. Common indicators of a failed tub cover gasket include water leaking from the top of the tub assembly, visible cracking or deformation of the existing gasket, or excessive moisture around the tub cover joint during operation. Installation is performed during a tub disassembly service procedure.
