Common Symptoms That Indicate Replacement Needed
-
The washer drum still spins, but clothes are not tumbling properly; they may ride the drum wall instead of dropping.
-
Excessive vibration, thumping or banging during spin — often caused by uneven load movement due to a missing or damaged baffle.
-
Heavy loads result in poor water extraction (clothes are sopping wet at cycle end) because the load isn’t being agitated properly.
-
Visual inspection shows the baffle is cracked, missing, loose or the mounting screws are absent.
-
The parts list or service manual for your washer lists part number 134509600 or the equivalent vane kit. appliancepartspros.com
Compatibility Notes

Couples with many Frigidaire and Electrolux front-load washer models (as per kit listings). applianceparts.lowes.com+1
-
Before ordering:
-
Verify the model number and serial number of your washer.
-
Inspect the existing baffle location, mounting holes (usually inside the drum near the tub wall) and screw pattern to confirm match.
-
If the drum shows visible damage or the washer’s suspension is severely worn, replacing the baffle alone may not fully resolve a vibration issue — consider a technician check.
