John February 27, 2014 for Model Number GHW9150PW0 My bearing went bad on the basket shaft. I cant find just the shaft, everything I find they want to sell me the whole basket with the shaft. Where can I buy just the shaft. It bolts to the basket with six screws.
1 Answer Hello John. I do apologize, but the manufacturer only offers the spider assembly with the basket WPW10250573 Read More...
Gary February 02, 2014 for Model Number GHW9150PW0 My old tub bearing outside the tub has a raised boss about 1/4" above the tub plastic. Inside the boss is a snap ring. The boss has a section cut out where there is a screw. The new tub does not have this boss and the bearing housing is flush with the tub. There is no snap ring holding the bearing. There is a hole for a screw same as the old. Is this difference a problem? Do I need a spacer behind the bearing between the hub and pulley? Also the is a metal wire clip inside the rear outer drum. It is shown on the right of the picture in the square shape part of the tub. What is this for? The old tub did not have it or it was knocked out by the failed basket.
1 Answer Hello Gary. W10772617 is the correct outer tub for the unit. You should not need a spacer if you install all of the parts properly. Read More...

Rich August 05, 2013 for Model Number 7MGHW9150PW1 We have a Kenmore Elite washer that has a bad "front outer tub". I believe this may have been caused by a bad bearing or rear tub assembly? Can we replace just the bearing in the plastic assembly or do we have to replace the complete assembly as it is pressed in? Thank you!
1 Answer Hello Rich. No, you must order the outer tub assembly W10772617 for the tub bearings. Read More...
Mike P July 16, 2013 for Model Number GHW9100LWZ Tub-Outer OEM, I have the washer apart and the tub separated, should the stainless Steel tub rotate easy, I have a feeling the bearing has gone bad. It takes some effort to rotate the stainless Steel tub. how do you separate the Stainless Steel tub from the OEM
1 Answer Hello Mike. The inner basket should lift out if the pulley is removed on the back of it. Sounds like the bearings are bad. Read More...
Manny P June 30, 2013 for Model Number GHW9100LW2 I opened up the back of my washer, there is brown stuff, maybe oil or grease, coming out of what I believe to be the tub, can you tell me if that could be true?
1 Answer Manny, The brown stuff would not be oil or grease but would be caused by the bearings of the unit. If the unit is making a grinding or roaring noise during the spin cycle then the bearings are bad and would need a new rear outer tub W10772617. Read More...
Tim M June 16, 2013 for Model Number GHW9100LW2 I just purchased the outer tub for my washing machine. I also purchased the grease... new part, there is a metal wire (looks like a big twisted up paper clip) on the inside of the outer drum that isn't on the old one. What is that wire for?
1 Answer Tim, The wire inside the new tub is the heater support. They started putting this in to keep the heater from touching the plastic. Read More...
