The Nylon Radial Ring Bearing is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It supports the spray arm, allowing it to rotate smoothly and evenly distribute water throughout the dishwasher for effective cleaning. This bearing reduces friction and wear, contributing to the longevity and efficiency of the spray arm mechanism.
You should replace this radial ring bearing if it shows signs of wear, damage, or if the spray arm is not rotating properly. Common causes of a bad bearing include wear and tear from regular use, accumulation of debris, or damage from improper installation or handling.
Symptoms of a bad nylon radial ring bearing include:
- Spray arm not spinning or rotating unevenly
- Noisy operation during the wash cycle
- Reduced cleaning performance
- Visible damage or wear to the bearing
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
