The Spin Bearing Washer is an OEM part for Frigidaire washing machines. Situated inside the transmission housing, this thin metal washer acts as a subsurface support for the belt pulley bearing. The spin-bearing washer facilitates smooth, balanced rotation essential for agitated and spun wash cycles.
Causes of a bad spin-bearing washer include wear and fatigue from years of successive rotations, potentially allowing excessive movement between housing components.
Symptoms of a bad spin-bearing washer involve:
- Vibration or shaking noises coming from inside the washer cabinet
- Belt slippage wasting energy by inefficiently spinning loads
- Increased friction resulting in longer cycle times for spins
- Failure of belts or other components from unsupported bearing
This OEM Frigidaire part can also be used on Electrolux, Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Sears/Kenmore.
