The Thrust Bearing Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This kit is essential for the proper operation of the washer's transmission system, allowing the drive system to engage smoothly and efficiently. 

Over time, components within the thrust bearing kit can wear down or become damaged due to the constant stress and movement they endure during the wash cycle. This wear can lead to issues with the washing machine's ability to agitate or spin correctly.

Symptoms of a bad Thrust Bearing Kit include:

• The washing machine is noisy during operation
• The washer struggles to agitate or spin
• The washing machine may fail to spin at all, leaving clothes wet at the end of the cycle
• Excessive vibration during use

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

Symptoms of a bad motor spring include:

• Inadequate cleaning as clothes don't tumble vigorously  
• Excessive noise or vibration from the off-balance agitator 
• Stalling or failure of the agitator to rotate fully

This OEM Whirlpool replacement is also compatible with some Kenmore, Admiral, Estate, and Roper top-load washer models as well.
