The Shaft Seal is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool washing machines. It is designed to create a watertight seal around the tub shaft, preventing water from leaking out during the wash cycle. This seal ensures the proper functioning of the washer by maintaining the integrity of the water containment within the machine.

Over time, the shaft seal can degrade due to continuous exposure to water, detergent, and the mechanical stresses of the wash cycles. This wear and tear can lead to the seal becoming brittle or cracked, compromising its ability to prevent leaks. Additionally, improper installation or misalignment can also cause the seal to fail prematurely.

Symptoms of a bad shaft seal include:

• Water leaking from the bottom of the washing machine
• Excessive moisture or pooling water around the washer
• Unusual noises during the spin cycle
• Visible cracks or damage to the seal itself

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
