Balance Ring - Whirlpool Catalyst Troubleshooting & Repair Manual

BALANCE RING

Balance Ring shown upside-down
The Balance Ring is a special dual chambered ring with the traditional water ballast in the top chamber
and an oil charge with steel balls in the lower chamber. The additional ballast is required to counteract
the clothing load during the Catalyst Cleaning mode.
The ring is attached to the spin basket and is not available as a separate component.
The oil chamber contains approximately 320 cc of oil and should be treated as any other oil when
disposal becomes necessary.
