Washing Machine Shaft Seal. Spin Pinion Seal.

Whirlpool manufactures products under various brands, including Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. They also produce items for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The Whirlpool shaft seal is an OEM replacement part designed to prevent water leakage from the washing machine's tub assembly. It is located within the washer's transmission assembly, specifically at the top of the basket drive tube and around the spin shaft.

This shaft seal is compatible with appliances from Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears.

The seal is used at the top of the basket drive tube shaft and the pinion gear inside the gear case.

Common issues resolved by this part include:

- Water leaking from the bottom of the washing machine during wash or spin cycles
- Visible water stains or moisture around the transmission assembly or beneath the washing machine
- Excessive noise or unusual sounds, especially during the spin cycle
- Inefficient spinning, leaving clothes excessively wet after the spin cycle
