Description

This bearing supports the washer tub/drum so it spins smoothly and reduces wobble and noise during cycles. A worn bearing can cause loud rumbling, grinding, or excessive vibration. What it does:

• Provides a low-friction surface for the tub/drum shaft to rotate on
• Keeps the tub/drum aligned to prevent wobble and uneven spin
• Helps reduce noise and vibration caused by worn or damaged bearings
• Supports normal spin and drainage by maintaining proper tub rotation

What's included:

• One bearing as shown

Install notes:

• Designed for use in compatible front-load washers;
• Replace bearings only when explicitly required; bearing replacement may require disassembly of the tub and special tools
• Disconnect power and water supply before starting repairs; follow manufacturer safety instructions
