The Spin Tube Bearing is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool washing machines. It is a stationary bearing located inside the tub that supports the agitator and spin basket during operation. The bearing works to reduce friction and facilitate smooth spinning motion.

Symptoms of a bad spin tube bearing include:

  • Excessive vibration or noise during the spin cycle
  • The agitator or basket wobbling noticeably
  • Difficulty Balancing loads
  • Premature wear of other components

Causes of a bad bearing can include wear and tear due to repeated use over time, damage from cleaning products or foreign objects inside the tub, or improper handling during repairs.

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

Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Spin Tube Bearing (Part Number: OEM18039450)

1 Answer

Kent, The T bearing is removable by removing the C clamp and the cams. Once they are out you may need to pull on it but it should slide out and just push the new one in place.

Darrell for Model Number LSR7333PQ4

Our washer has made grinding/ metal sounds on the spin cycles for quite some time .We have the machine apart now and there are metal shavings inside the clutch. The white plastic piece (cam? ) is loose and the c clip that is supposed to hold it in place was laying inside the clutch. There appears to be nothing left on the round metal piece to hold the c clip ?After looking on your web site it appears the t bearing is gone? Can it be replaced? How do you replace it? Can we order parts from you to ship to Canada? Thank you

1 Answer

Darrell, The parts that you would want to replace would be the drive tube and the clutch assembly. The drive tube will have the slot for the e clip to attach to. Unfortunately we do not ship to Canada.

Hello Beamka. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the drive block WP389140 is bad and will need to be replaced in the unit.

Zeek for Model Number whirlpool lsc8244eq1

My washer is making a grinding noise when in spin cycle, it goes through the wash cycle correctly. it spins correctly but I dont know if the agitators should move together with the spinning drum, they stop for a millisecond and makes a big thumping noise then the grinding continues while the agitators move together with the drum then another stop of the agitators with a loud thump while the drum is still spinning. this happens only in the spin cycle.

Hi Zeek. Remove the agitator . Under the tub nut is a drive block that may have broken part # WP389140. If while inspection there you will need to replace these parts. You will need to check the top of the basket drive to see if the square ears that mate with the drive block has not rounded off on the square sides. If so you will need to replace the basket drive as well Part # W10820043. Then if these inspects well, you need to concern yourself with the brake assy. part # 285438. If they are not holding, you will have spin in agitation also. Thank You.
