Amana Washer AA3111 Noisy

This replacement main bearing assembly supports the washer's drive/spin system. It keeps the inner basket and drive shaft rotating smoothly and quietly, helping maintain alignment and reducing vibration during wash and high-speed spin.

• Supports and centers the spin basket/drive shaft for low-friction rotation
• Helps reduce noise and vibration when spinning at high RPMs
• Restores smooth operation when the original bearing is worn or rough
• Common symptoms: roaring/grinding during spin, basket wobble/play, roughness turning by hand, possible leak at rear center if related seal wear is present

• Disconnect power and water before service; allow the appliance to cool
• Access and replacement procedures vary by model; significant disassembly is typical
• A bearing press/driver may be required; inspect shaft and related seals and replace if worn
• After reassembly, run a test spin to check for leaks

Can be upper or lower bearing depending on application.

This agitate & spin drive belt transfers motor power to the washer's transmission and spin mechanism. Replacing a worn belt restores proper agitation and spin performance and helps prevent slipping noise or burning-rubber smells.

• Links the drive motor to the main pulleys to power both agitation and spin
• Replaces a broken, stretched, or glazed belt that slips under load
• Common symptoms: no spin or no agitation, weak/slow spin, squealing, burning-rubber odor, visible cracks or fraying
• Helps ensure smooth, consistent tub movement and complete cycles

• Disconnect power and water; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Access the belt from the bottom or rear, per your model's service procedure
• Release belt tension (motor carriage/idler), remove the old belt, and route the new belt around the motor and drive pulleys as shown on the unit
• Rotate by hand before restoring power and running a test cycle

This spring fastener applies constant tension to hold a component securely in place inside your appliance, helping prevent looseness, vibration, or gaps. Replacing a fatigued or missing clip restores a tight, reliable fit.

• Provides spring tension to clamp and retain a part, seal, or panel
• Helps maintain alignment and reduce vibration or rattling
• Restores secure attachment when the original clip is bent, stretched, or missing
• Symptoms can include a part not staying put, visible looseness, or a clip that's damaged or gone

• Disconnect power; turn off water supply if applicable
• Use needle-nose pliers or a suitable spring tool; wear gloves and eye protection
• Note the original orientation before removal to ensure proper reinstallation
• Make sure the mating part or seal is fully seated and the fastener is fully engaged before reassembly
