Kenmore / Sears Washer Support Parts

This inner tub hub connects the washer's inner drum to the drive assembly, providing a secure rotational link so the drum can spin properly. Replacing a damaged hub restores drum stability and reduces noise or wobbling. What it does:

• Secures the inner tub to the drive shaft so the drum turns with the motor
• Prevents excessive movement, vibration, and scraping noises caused by a worn or broken hub
• Helps correct spin-related issues like uneven spinning or the drum not engaging
• Works with the tub assembly and other drive components to maintain proper drum alignment

• One inner tub hub

• Disconnect power and water supply, and fully drain the washer before starting
• Replacement generally requires removing the outer tub/inner tub assembly and transferring seals or gaskets as needed
• Use proper tools and follow OEM service instructions
• Inspect surrounding components (seals, bearings, suspension) and replace if worn to prevent repeat failure

The Strap is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. It is a component located inside the washer tub that holds onto and spins the outer tub during the wash cycle. The strap washer plays an important role in securing the outer tub in place while continuously channeling rotational force to drive the washing action and clean clothes effectively. 

Causes of a bad strap can include wear and tear from years of use, damage due to impact or mishandling, or degradation from chemical exposure. 

Symptoms of a bad strap include:

• Excessive vibration or shaking during spin cycles
• Noise or grinding sounds coming from the washer tub area 
• The outer tub wobbling or moving more than usual
• Uneven agitation that fails to thoroughly clean all clothes

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
 

This drum spider is the rear support that attaches the washer's inner drum to the drive assembly, restoring stable spinning and reducing wobble, banging and vibration caused by a cracked or corroded support. What it does:

• Holds and centers the inner drum and transmits motor torque to the tub during spin cycles.
• Worn or broken spiders commonly cause loud banging, heavy vibration, or wobbling during spin.
• A failed spider can lead to uneven spinning and accelerate bearing or seal wear.
• Replacing the spider restores proper drum alignment and helps prevent further drivetrain damage.

• 1 drum spider

• Disconnect power and turn off water; drain the washer before beginning repairs.
• Replacement requires partial disassembly (removal of the outer/front panel and drum); follow for step-by-step instructions.
• Inspect tub bearings, seals and mounting hardware while the hub and shaft are exposed; replace any worn components to avoid repeat failure.

The trunnion is the hub that mounts the washer's inner tub to the drive shaft. Replacing a worn hub restores a solid, centered connection so the basket spins smoothly without wobble, slip, or grinding. What it does:

• Secures and centers the spin basket on the drive shaft for balanced rotation
• Transfers drive torque to the inner tub during spin
• Helps maintain basket alignment to reduce vibration
• Typical symptoms of failure: loose/wobbly tub, scraping or grinding noises, poor or no spin, frequent out-of-balance events

• 1 trunnion

• Disconnect power and water before service; wear gloves and eye protection
• Access the hub by removing top/access parts, then the agitator/wash plate and inner-tub fasteners
• Clean the shaft and mating surfaces; seat the new trunnion fully and tighten fasteners evenly in a crisscross pattern
• Inspect related parts (tub seal, bolts, bearing) while open and replace if worn; run a short test cycle to ensure smooth spin
