Washer Bearing Parts

This replacement main bearing assembly supports the washer's drive/spin system. It keeps the inner basket and drive shaft rotating smoothly and quietly, helping maintain alignment and reducing vibration during wash and high-speed spin.

• Supports and centers the spin basket/drive shaft for low-friction rotation
• Helps reduce noise and vibration when spinning at high RPMs
• Restores smooth operation when the original bearing is worn or rough
• Common symptoms: roaring/grinding during spin, basket wobble/play, roughness turning by hand, possible leak at rear center if related seal wear is present

• Disconnect power and water before service; allow the appliance to cool
• Access and replacement procedures vary by model; significant disassembly is typical
• A bearing press/driver may be required; inspect shaft and related seals and replace if worn
• After reassembly, run a test spin to check for leaks

Note: DO NOT use any sealant other than 200996P Sealant.

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

Can be upper or lower bearing depending on application.

A replacement thrust bearing that supports the washer transmission shaft to reduce axial wear and help the gearbox rotate more smoothly. Use this bearing to address noisy transmission operation and reduce metal-on-metal wear when the original is worn. What it does:

• Supports axial load on the transmission/gearcase shaft to reduce friction and wear
• Helps prevent grinding, scraping, or other metal-on-metal noises from the gearbox
• Can reduce rough or noisy spin and improve agitation when a worn bearing is the cause
• Helps maintain proper alignment of transmission components for smoother operation

• Disconnect power and water supply and drain the washer before beginning any work.
• Replacement requires accessing the agitator/gearcase per the OEM service manual and may involve transmission/gearcase disassembly.
• Inspect nearby seals, fasteners and other bearings while servicing; replace damaged parts to avoid premature failure.

A replacement bearing that supports the washer drum and helps the tub spin smoothly with reduced friction and wear. Restores stable drum rotation to improve performance and reduce loud noises. What it does

• Supports the drum shaft so the tub spins evenly and stays aligned
• Reduces metal-on-metal contact that causes grinding or squealing noises
• Helps prevent excessive wobble or vibration during spin cycles
• Contributes to proper drum rotation that affects water extraction efficiency

• Disconnect power (and water for washers) before beginning any repair
• Access typically requires removing the cabinet or drum assembly; follow your model's service instructions
• Inspect surrounding seals and shafts for wear when replacing this bearing

This Support is a replacement mounting bracket that helps secure the appliance's internal assembly and restore proper alignment for smooth, quiet operation. Use it to replace worn or damaged supports that allow excessive movement. What it does

• Holds and stabilizes internal components to prevent wobbling or shifting during operation
• Helps reduce rattling, grinding, or knocking noises caused by loose supports
• Restores correct alignment to improve part engagement and function
• Prevents premature wear on adjacent parts caused by excess movement

• One Support mounting bracket

• Disconnect power (and gas if applicable) before beginning any repair
• Inspect surrounding fasteners and mounting surfaces; replace any damaged hardware
• Tighten to manufacturer torque specs where available; avoid over-tightening

This bearing supports the washer drum for smooth rotation and helps keep the tub aligned during spin cycles. Replacing a worn bearing restores quiet operation and reduces excessive drum movement. What it does:

• Provides a low-friction surface for the drum shaft to rotate on
• Keeps the inner and outer tubs properly aligned to prevent wobble
• Helps prevent metal-on-metal contact that causes grinding or rumbling sounds
• When paired with seals, helps limit water reaching the bearing area

• One bearing

• Disconnect power and water before starting any repair
• Expect partial disassembly of the washer cabinet and drum
• Specialized tools (bearing puller, press) may be required for removal/installation

This bearing housing assembly supports the washer tub and secures the inner bearing for smooth drum rotation. Replaces worn or damaged upper housing to reduce noise and restore stable tub alignment. What it does:

• Holds the upper bearing and anchors the inner tub to the transmission/drum shaft.
• Maintains correct tub alignment to prevent excessive wobble or vibration during spin.
• Keeps the bearing seated to reduce grinding, squealing, or rumbling noises.
• Helps prevent premature bearing wear that can lead to louder operation or tub movement.

• One upper bearing housing assembly.

• Disconnect power and water supply before beginning service; follow all safety precautions.
• Drain and support the tub before removing fasteners; this may require disassembling the cabinet and removing the agitator/tub per the service manual.
• Inspect bearings and seals when replacing the housing; replace any worn bearings or seals to ensure proper function.

The Tub Bearing is an OEM replacement part for LG washing machines. This component is essential for the smooth rotation of the washer drum, reducing friction and ensuring quiet, efficient operation during wash and spin cycles.

Causes of a bad tub bearing can include wear and tear from regular use, exposure to water and detergent, or overloading the washing machine. Over time, the bearing can degrade, leading to increased friction and noise.

Symptoms of a bad tub bearing include:

• Loud noises during the spin cycle, such as grinding or roaring
• The drum wobbling or moving excessively
• Water leaking from the bottom of the washer
• Poor washing performance or the drum not spinning properly

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore models.

This thrust washer cushions and spaces the washer transmission/tub interface to reduce wear and help maintain smooth spin and agitation. It's a small, replaceable wear part that restores proper alignment and reduces abnormal noise or vibration. What it does:

• Provides a wear surface between the transmission and inner tub to prevent metal-on-metal contact
• Helps maintain correct tub height and alignment for smooth spinning and reduced wobble
• Commonly replaced when worn, cracked, or missing parts cause knocking, grinding, or excessive vibration
• Supports consistent drive engagement and helps prevent premature transmission wear

• One thrust washer

• Disconnect power and water supply before servicing the washer
• Drain the tub and secure or support the inner tub/tub assembly per service instructions to avoid injury
• Removal typically requires disassembling the washer cabinet and detaching the transmission or tub components;
• Use only OEM-specified parts and follow torque/clearance specs from the manufacturer when reassembling

This ball bearing supports a rotating shaft in the drive system, reducing friction so the appliance runs smoother and quieter. Replacing a worn bearing can curb rumbling and help prevent damage to adjoining shafts, housings, or seals.

• Supports and centers a rotating shaft within the assembly
• Reduces friction and wear between moving parts for smooth operation
• Helps limit noise and vibration from the drive system
• Common symptoms of failure include grinding/roaring noises, excessive play or wobble, rough or stiff rotation by hand, or seized rotation

• Disconnect power and, if applicable, shut off water before servicing
• Access the bearing by disassembling the related housing; note orientation and order of components
• Press the bearing out/in with a driver or press; do not hammer on the inner or outer race
• Inspect the shaft and any companion seals or bearings; clean the bore and seat the new bearing fully
