So my friend tells me her washer is making loud noises when spinning. I figure its shocks are going or gone. Go have a look and no, all 4 are functional and fine. She turns it on and cycles it with a small load inside. As soon as it hits a spin cycle it sounds like a runaway train. Noise is coming from the drum area - definitely not the shocks. As I’m looking it over she says that she found something in a load of laundry recently. Brings out this odd looking gasket. Never seen one like it. Thing is about 5ft long, has triangular attachment tabs at regular intervals, and is clearly split in one spot and must have come loose at some point and got pulled into the drum. But where did it come from? Better yet, why is there no replacement part that looks anything like it? I’ve been up and down every part shop on the internet, US and Canada, no match. Anyone ever seen one of these (see photos)? If so, any idea what the part number might be?
