5308002401 Frigidaire Spin Bearing Washer

The Spin Bearing Washer is a genuine OEM part designed for use in Frigidaire washing machines, and it is compatible with various brands including Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Sears/Kenmore. This component is strategically placed inside the transmission housing and serves as a crucial support for the belt pulley bearing. By doing so, it ensures the washer operates smoothly and maintains balance during both agitating and spinning cycles.

Common issues with a failing spin bearing washer are primarily due to prolonged use, which leads to wear and fatigue. This deterioration might result in excessive movement of the internal components of the housing.

When the spin bearing washer is not functioning properly, some noticeable signs include:
- Vibrations or audible shaking noises from the washer.
- The belt may slip, leading to inefficient spin cycles and wasted energy.
- Increased friction, which can extend the duration of spin cycles.
- Potential failure of the belts or other related components due to lack of support from the bearing.

Replacing a defective spin bearing washer can address and resolve these issues, notably reducing operational noise.
