Customer Questions and Answers for Lower Bearing Assembly by Whirlpool

Bruce, It's most likely something else, like the thrust bearing assembly 12002213 if the cam or bearing is worn or distorted, and out of tolerance, the brake rotor will remain partially engaged and make a squeak noise in the agitate cycle. Also check the belt WP22003483 for a worn or burnt spot, and the motor pulley for the same as well.
