Is This the Right Part?

Common Symptoms

• Clothing snags on a damaged or rough basket surface.
• The basket rubs or contacts surrounding tub components when turned by hand.
• Loads may become uneven if the basket is bent or damaged.

Check Before Replacing

• Disconnect power, empty the washer, and inspect the accessible basket rim, perforations, and interior surface for cracks, distortion, loose pieces, corrosion damage, or sharp edges.
• With the washer empty and powered off, slowly rotate the basket by hand and note any rubbing, binding, scraping, or contact with the outer tub.
• Check for foreign objects lodged through basket openings or between the basket and outer tub before attributing a noise or rubbing condition to the basket.
• Confirm the exact washer model and consult its parts diagram before ordering or disassembling the appliance; similar symptoms can originate in other wash-drive, suspension, or tub components.
