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)

Michael for Model Number LAT9416AAQ

I have water leaking from bottom of tub. On an older machine I replaced only the boot seal as I recall, and this did not require replacing the ottom bearing assembly, is this still probably the main location leaking, and if I only replace the boot seal I do not need to replace the bearing?. The spanner wrench I have from that repair does not have protruding nubs to engauger the nut as is in your photo. When I am on your web site, the spanner part number shown in the seal page is not the same as the spanner part number the link takes you to, and this spanner has protruding nubs to enguage the nut, my spanner has inner notches into which the nut must enguage. Are there different spanners or is your web link and photo not accurate?

Hello Michael. You need to replace both bearing kits 6-2095720 6-2040130 and order the new spanner wrench TB123B. If your old one does not have the tabs, then it is not the correct wrench. Hope this helps.

Hello John. Yes, they are reversed threads. Don't forget to loosen the lock screw in the side of the hub assembly before removal. Hope this helps.

Hello Jill, on your old mounting stem set up the washer and clip held the center seal in place. On the replacement, the center seal is built into the mounting stem so those parts are not needed anymore.

Hello Steve! You will need the triple lip seal and bearing kit. We will need your serial number to verify the correct part number. Thanks.

Hello Danny. There is no diagram on how to remove them, but they unscrew off the shaft of the transmission, using a spanner wrench. Hope this helps.
