The Tumbler Bearing Kit is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool washing machines. It includes multiple replacement glides that support the movement of the wash basket or tub. As it rotates during the wash cycle, the tub experiences friction that the bearings help manage. For rear drum support rollers, order 12001541. Please note that repair requires two kits.
Symptoms of bad bearings include:
- Excessive noise or vibrations emanating from the tub area
- Difficulty rotating or spinning the tub by hand
- Visible wear on the bearings
- Premature breakdown of other components due to increased stress
Causes of bearing failure can be normal wear over time from the consistent rotational motion. Using the washer with an unbalanced load can accelerate bearing deterioration.
This OEM Whirlpool kit is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

Blower wheel center hub was stripped making lots of noise when the dryer was running as it rattled on the motor shaft, drum belt was worn Michael W. • Vacaville , CA • August 30, 2021
The blower wheel had been previously “repaired,” but the repairman did not install a retaining clip or clamp, so the new part was destroyed in about a year and a half, as the motor shaft rounded all the square edges in the plastic hub. The old blower wheel came off easily and the new part was a perfect fit. The center clamp that comes with the blower wheel kit would probably hold it in place by itself, but I also purchased and installed the retaining clip (#35) as well, because the end of the...

Squeaky noise and not fully drying David H. • Santa Clarita , CA • September 20, 2019
Originally the dryer was squeaking a lot, so I purchased a new belt tensioner, but the original tensioner was an old-style no wheel tensioner, so that wasn't the source of the squeaking.
I saw a lot of lint had built up inside the unit where there shouldn't have been that much. So I viewed a few videos on the Appliance Pros site and saw that the rear wheel guides were the cause of the squeaking and the rear felt drum and blower housing seal needed to be replaced. The rear blower housing was...
