6601-002637 Samsung Ball Bearing

The Samsung ball bearing is a standard OEM replacement part designed to support and stabilize the spin basket shaft within a front-load washing machine's tub. Positioned at the back of the washer's outer drum assembly, it plays a crucial role in reducing friction and facilitating the smooth rotation of the spin basket throughout the washing and spinning processes. By allowing the inner tub to rotate independently from the outer tub, the bearing maintains alignment, which is essential for effective cleaning and spinning of laundry.

This component is also compatible with Kenmore/Sears appliances.

The bearing addresses several common issues, including:

- Noticeable noises during wash or spin cycles.
- Increased vibration and shaking during the spin cycle.
- Water leaks from the back of the washer drum.
- Signs of rust, damage, or excessive wear upon visual inspection.
