Jeffrey for Model Number WM2277Hm

Answer Jeffrey, If the bearings are bad then you would definitely want to replace the rear tub AJQ35154201. The Brown residue could also be coming from the bearings. When the bearings go bad they usually have rust that goes on either side and would cause a brownish residue. You may not actually be able to tell until the unit is part.
