W10435302 Whirlpool Washing Machine Tub Seal and Bearing Kit

Washing Machine Tub Seal and Bearing Kit

Whirlpool manufactures washing machines under various brands, including Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. They also produce appliances for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The Bearing and Tub Seal Kit is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part for Whirlpool washing machines. It features durable bearings and a tub seal designed to enable smooth operation and prevent water leaks. The bearings ensure the tub spins freely and quietly, while the seal protects them from water and detergent, enhancing their lifespan and the washing machine's overall efficiency.

Failures in these components can occur due to several reasons. Common causes include water infiltration that leads to rust and bearing deterioration, or wear and tear from heavy or unbalanced loads that exert extra pressure on the seal and bearings.

Signs of a faulty bearing and tub seal kit include:

- Noisy operation, especially during the spin cycle
- Water leaking from the bottom of the washer
- The washing machine tub having difficulty spinning or not spinning at all

This OEM part from Whirlpool is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.
