The Seal Shaft is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool washing machines. Internally situated where the tub meets the transmission case, it prevents liquid and debris from the transmission and gearcase.

Causes of replacement consist of normal friction fatigue after repeated cycles. Mineral chunking within grooves and notches also gradually increases operating torque if left unattended.

Symptoms involve:

  • Excessive noise and vibration emerging from the transmission area
  • Water leaks developing between tub and case
  • Gradual mechanical burden decreasing agitator action

This is a genuine Whirlpool OEM replacement this part is also compatible with Maytag, Jenn-Air, and some Kenmore models.
