Product review (5 stars): Just what we needed
Like many other reviewers, we found out we needed one of these things when we found our old one had fallen out during a wash cycle and melted to the bottom of the machine. This new cap fits snugly and will hopefully not experience the same failure. Another reason to love Amazon... They got this weird little random part to us about a day after we realized we needed it. Back in the day I would have had to spend half a day on the phone with Whirlpool and probably pay a small fortune in shipping.
