WP2198628 Whirlpool Refrigerator Drive Shaft Seal

Refrigerator Drive Shaft Seal, White Color.
This component is suitable for use when the icemaker fails to dispense ice or if there's a leakage. It measures 1" in diameter and is available for purchase individually.

The Drive Shaft Seal is compatible with several brands, including Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, it is used in products manufactured for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. As an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part specifically designed for Whirlpool washing machines, it helps prevent water from escaping the tub and reaching the drive system. The seal maintains a watertight connection between the drive shaft and the washing machine tub, safeguarding the mechanical parts from water-related damage and corrosion.

The deterioration of a drive shaft seal can occur due to aging materials, excessive laundry loads that overburden the washer, or foreign objects becoming lodged between the seal and the shaft, potentially causing tears or breaks.

Indications of a malfunctioning Drive Shaft Seal include:
- Water leaking from the bottom of the washing machine
- Noticeable noises during the spin cycle
- Visible damage such as tears on the seal
- Increased vibrations and shifting of the machine while in use

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