Description

This bearing supports the washer drum for smooth rotation and helps keep the tub aligned during spin cycles. Replacing a worn bearing restores quiet operation and reduces excessive drum movement. What it does:

• Provides a low-friction surface for the drum shaft to rotate on
• Keeps the inner and outer tubs properly aligned to prevent wobble
• Helps prevent metal-on-metal contact that causes grinding or rumbling sounds
• When paired with seals, helps limit water reaching the bearing area

What's included:

• One bearing

Install notes:

• Disconnect power and water before starting any repair
• Expect partial disassembly of the washer cabinet and drum
• Specialized tools (bearing puller, press) may be required for removal/installation
