12002022 Whirlpool Washing Machine Tub Seal

Washing Machine Tub Seal.

Whirlpool's range of brands includes Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures parts for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea appliances. The Lip Seal Kit, an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part, is designed for use in Whirlpool washing machines. This kit features new seals that fit around the tub opening to mitigate water leakage.

Indications of deteriorating lip seals are:

- Water leaking around the washer opening or tub region
- Accumulation of water beneath the machine post-cycle
- Visible deterioration such as cracks or splits in the seals

The degradation of these seals is typically due to regular use and friction with the tub surface. Furthermore, mineral deposits can reduce the lifespan of the seals if they are not cleaned regularly.

It is important to note that the lip seal kit comes complete with an updated lip seal, grease, O-ring, a tool for seal installation, a washer kit, and a set of instructions. Please be aware that the rear bearings are not included in this kit and must be purchased separately, with part numbers WP22003441 and WP22002934.

This Whirlpool OEM part is compatible with models from Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and some Kenmore washing machines.

The replacement of this part typically resolves issues related to excessive noise during operation.
