The Mounting Stem Repair Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. It includes all necessary components to repair the mounting stem, which is a critical part of the washer's tub support system. Comes with the hub assembly, seal, and spanner nut. 6-2040130 should also be replaced at the same time. A spanner wrench is required to complete the repair TB123B.

Symptoms of a bad mounting stem include:

  • Excessive noise or vibration during the spin cycle.
  • The washer tub appearing loose or off-balance.
  • Leakage around the central area of the washer, indicating a possible seal failure.

Causes of a bad mounting stem can include wear and tear from normal usage, especially with heavy loads, or corrosion and material fatigue that weaken the stem's integrity.

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

Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Mounting Stem Repair Kit (Part Number: OEM13170048)

1 Answer

Hello John, You will need to replace the lip seal on the bottom of the transmission. This repair is seldom effective unless the seal is installed with the brake housing removed. Also, if the new seal is installed with the brake housing removed and the seal still leaks, the transmission may have a groove worn on the transmission shaft where the old seal rode against it for so long. In this case, you can either tear down the transmission to replace the shaft or replace the transmission assembly.

Hello Alejandro, This is either going to be the damper pad 203956, the main base (bent at area of the dome in the center) 203274, or a combination of the two. Lets hope the main base is not the issue since this part has been discontinued by the manufacturer and no satisfactory substitutions have been provided.

Hello Raoul. Look and see if the agitator is stripped out on the unit. If it is good, then it sounds like the transmission is bad in the unit.

Hello Steve. If the screw is removed from the agitator, then it should lift out of the unit. The only thing securing it is the set screw.
