Whirlpool, Maytag & KitchenAid Washer Dryer Pedestal Pad Spacer Parts — Models & Compatibility

If your stacked washer and dryer setup is making noise, vibrating excessively, or the units are shifting during spin cycles, you're probably missing or have worn-out pedestal pad spacers. This small but critical part (8537982) sits between stacked units or between the appliance and pedestal, preventing metal-on-metal contact and absorbing vibration across Whirlpool, Maytag, and KitchenAid laundry systems.

This hub covers the 8537982 pedestal pad spacer and its cross-reference numbers WP8537982, AP6012995, PS11746216, and PS988850. It fits both washer and dryer configurations where units are stacked or mounted on pedestals.

Is This the Right Part for Your Model?

Check your model number on the inside edge of the washer door or on the dryer's front frame near the door opening. The 8537982 spacer pad works across multiple series including WHP, MHP, XHPC, and WFP models. You'll need four pads total for a complete stacked installation — one at each corner where the units meet.

About This Replacement Part

The 8537982 is a rubber pad spacer measuring approximately 1 inch square that creates a cushioned barrier between stacked laundry units. When these pads wear out, crack, or go missing, you'll notice increased vibration noise, units shifting during operation, or even paint damage where metal surfaces are rubbing together. The pads compress slightly under the weight of the stacked unit while maintaining proper spacing for airflow and electrical connections.

Most technicians replace all four pads at once rather than individual pads, since they typically wear at the same rate. If you're experiencing excessive movement or noise from your stacked setup, inspect all four corner positions — you'll often find at least one pad has deteriorated or fallen out completely.

Installation Overview

You'll need to unstack your washer and dryer to access the pad locations. Each pad sits in a designated corner position on top of the lower unit, usually marked by small indentations or guide marks. Clean the metal surface before placing new pads to ensure proper adhesion and fit. The pads aren't typically glued down — they're held in place by the weight of the upper unit once restacked.
