The Bearing Ring for Front Support is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. It provides support and stability to the dryer's front drum. The bearing ring helps to reduce friction and ensure smooth rotation of the drum during the drying cycle. It helps to maintain proper alignment and balance, preventing excessive noise and vibration during operation.

A bad bearing ring can occur due to wear and tear over time, high usage, or damage from foreign objects getting caught in the drum. If the bearing ring becomes worn, cracked, or damaged, it can lead to loud squeaking or grinding noises coming from the dryer.

Symptoms of a bad bearing ring for front support include:

• Loud squeaking or grinding noises during operation.
• Excessive vibration or shaking of the dryer.
• Difficulty in rotating the drum manually.
• Visible damage or wear on the bearing ring.

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

The Bearing and Seal Kit is an OEM component for Whirlpool and KitchenAid front-load washing machines. The kit includes 2 center post bearings, 3 agitator shaft seals, and 1 center post seal.

These internal seals help retain lubrication inside the motor shaft housing, while the bearings allow for smooth rotation of critical components like the drive pulley. Continuous belt rubbing and water exposure diminish their lifespan over time.

Symptoms of worn motor seals or bearings include:

• Abnormal vibrations during the wash or spin cycles
• Noisy operation and grinding sounds from the motor
• Difficulty starting or stopping the cycle

This OEM kit is also compatible with Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, and select Kenmore models.

This front bearing ring sits on the dryer's front bulkhead to provide a smooth, low-friction surface for the drum lip. Replacing a worn ring helps restore quiet, steady drum rotation and prevents scraping against the front panel. What it does:

• Supports the front of the drum and keeps it centered
• Provides a low-friction surface between the drum and front bulkhead
• Helps eliminate squealing, scraping, or grinding noises from the front
• Can address drum drag or rough, uneven rotation

• 1 bearing ring

• Disconnect power; shut off gas supply for gas models before servicing
• Remove the top and front panel to access the front bulkhead and drum
• Support the drum while replacing the ring; install in the same orientation as the original
• Spin the drum by hand to ensure smooth, quiet rotation before reassembly; inspect the belt, idler pulley, rollers, and felt seals while open

This centerpost bearing supports the washer's spin basket on the stationary center post, providing a low-friction surface for smooth, quiet rotation. Replacing a worn bearing helps restore proper spin performance and reduce noise and vibration.

• Supports and centers the spin basket on the tub centerpost/drive shaft
• Provides a low-friction bearing surface to reduce wear and noise
• Helps maintain basket alignment and stability during spin
• When worn, may cause grinding or squealing in spin, excessive vibration or wobble, and poor/slow spin

• Disconnect power and water supply before servicing; use proper PPE
• Access typically requires removing the agitator, inner basket, and related drive components
• Clean mating surfaces; inspect the centerpost/spin tube and tub seal and replace any worn seals per service guidance
• Seat the bearing fully and verify smooth basket rotation before reassembly

A ball bearing is a rolling element bearing that uses balls to maintain the separation between the bearing races. This part is designed for use with outdoor lawn and garden power equipment such as snowblowers, chippers, shredders, and tillers. It is compatible with products by brands such as Craftsman, Cub Cadet, Ryobi, Troy-Bilt, Yard Machines, MTD, Huskee, Montgomery Wards, Bolens, Yard-Man, and MasterCut.The ball bearing part is crucial because its purpose is to reduce rotational friction while supporting radial and axial loads. Without functioning ball bearings, valuable outdoor equipment would fall apart and quickly stop working. That is why it is important to get any ball bearings replaced if they are worn out or malfunctioning.This ball bearing is made out of metal. The ball bearing is an original OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer, MTD. It is sold individually.

This is a flange bearing for use with some models of lawn and garden equipment from popular manufacturers. The flange bearing is cylindrical and features a flange at one end. They are used because they can support radial loads, as well as light axial loads. This bearing is placed between the rim and the tire. It will secure parts to ensure that the directional movement is correct, while still allowing for rotation.The mower flange bearing receives a lot of wear and tear from constant use, so they may need to be replaced more often than other parts. If the part is damaged or worn down, owners will want to replace it right away to ensure the proper functionality of the machine.The mower flange bearing can work with many types of lawn and garden equipment including chippers and snow blowers. It is compatible with certain models from MTD, Yard-Man, Troy-Bilt, Cub Cadet, Husky, and Yard Machines. The piece is sold individually, so owners might want to buy more than one at a time. The piece is a genuine OEM replacement part.
