How to Replace a Baffle for an Electrolux Washer

The baffles in your Electrolux washer are installed on the side of the internal drum. These thin plastic or rubber components help direct the flow of water during a wash cycle. Over time it is possible for one or more of these baffles to become loose in the drum. If this happens, remove and replace the baffle yourself.
