Whirlpool W10245452 Spring Retainer Washing Machine

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL W10245452 is a spring retainer designed for use in front-load washing machines. This small but critical component secures spring assemblies within the drum or door boot system, keeping internal mechanisms properly positioned during wash and spin cycles. At 1.25 x 1.25 x 1.0 inches, it is a compact OEM-style replacement part.
