Maytag Bearing Parts

This centerpost bearing supports the washer's spin basket on the stationary center post, providing a low-friction surface for smooth, quiet rotation. Replacing a worn bearing helps restore proper spin performance and reduce noise and vibration.

• Supports and centers the spin basket on the tub centerpost/drive shaft
• Provides a low-friction bearing surface to reduce wear and noise
• Helps maintain basket alignment and stability during spin
• When worn, may cause grinding or squealing in spin, excessive vibration or wobble, and poor/slow spin

• Disconnect power and water supply before servicing; use proper PPE
• Access typically requires removing the agitator, inner basket, and related drive components
• Clean mating surfaces; inspect the centerpost/spin tube and tub seal and replace any worn seals per service guidance
• Seat the bearing fully and verify smooth basket rotation before reassembly

Can be upper or lower bearing depending on application.

A replacement thrust bearing that supports the washer transmission shaft to reduce axial wear and help the gearbox rotate more smoothly. Use this bearing to address noisy transmission operation and reduce metal-on-metal wear when the original is worn. What it does:

• Supports axial load on the transmission/gearcase shaft to reduce friction and wear
• Helps prevent grinding, scraping, or other metal-on-metal noises from the gearbox
• Can reduce rough or noisy spin and improve agitation when a worn bearing is the cause
• Helps maintain proper alignment of transmission components for smoother operation

• Disconnect power and water supply and drain the washer before beginning any work.
• Replacement requires accessing the agitator/gearcase per the OEM service manual and may involve transmission/gearcase disassembly.
• Inspect nearby seals, fasteners and other bearings while servicing; replace damaged parts to avoid premature failure.

Left hand side.

A replacement bearing that supports the washer drum and helps the tub spin smoothly with reduced friction and wear. Restores stable drum rotation to improve performance and reduce loud noises. What it does

• Supports the drum shaft so the tub spins evenly and stays aligned
• Reduces metal-on-metal contact that causes grinding or squealing noises
• Helps prevent excessive wobble or vibration during spin cycles
• Contributes to proper drum rotation that affects water extraction efficiency

• Disconnect power (and water for washers) before beginning any repair
• Access typically requires removing the cabinet or drum assembly; follow your model's service instructions
• Inspect surrounding seals and shafts for wear when replacing this bearing

The Dryer Drum Support Bushing is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. It supports the dryer drum, allowing it to rotate smoothly during operation. This bushing reduces friction and wear on the drum and motor, ensuring efficient and quiet drying performance.

Common causes of a bad bushing include normal wear and tear from regular use, overloading the dryer, or exposure to excessive heat which can degrade the material over time.

Symptoms of a bad dryer drum support bushing include:

• Squeaking or grinding noises during operation
• The drum not rotating smoothly or becoming misaligned
• Increased friction leading to slower drying times
• Visible wear or damage to the bushing

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

Right hand side. For the drum glide and felt pad order LA-1006.

The Dryer Drum Glide is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dryers. It is designed to facilitate smooth rotation and movement of the dryer drum during operation. The glide supports the drum, reducing friction and ensuring proper alignment.

Causes of a bad dryer drum glide can include wear and tear over time, exposure to excessive heat or vibration, or damage from foreign objects or improper installation.

Symptoms of a bad dryer drum glide:

• Loud rumbling or grinding noises during the drying cycle
• Excessive vibration or shaking of the dryer
• Difficulty in rotating the drum manually
• Uneven drying or clothing becoming tangled

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