Whirlpool 285203 Washer Bearing And Seal Kit OEM Part

In reality, this turned into a full-on rebuild project - with several parts orders, not just a simple repair. But I have to give credit: The parts listings with pictures on the AppliancePartsPros web site were really useful in figuring out what was going on inside the machine, and what parts I would need. Also: The repair videos were critical for me to be able to ensure I was reassembling everything correctly. Shout out to Simon, who was featured in several of the repair videos. His "gorgeous wooden box" and his habit of setting a part aside "where the kids won't play with it" are really humorous late at night, when I'm trying to get things back together! This was a challenging repair - largely because my washer is 25 years old. But the reputation of the Whirlpool direct drive design convinced me it was worth the effort to bring it back to life. Getting the tub nut and block apart without damage is difficult on old machines.

After 25 years the old girl needed some attention. The banging sound during spin was getting louder and the basket wasn't draining. From what I read, I needed to install new bearings and seals. I ordered them from eBay because I was trying to save money, but eBay screwed up. It took a long time for the parts to arrive, and they sent the wrong parts. Dirty laundry was piling up. I had been watching how to replace the bearing and seals on Apliancepartspros.com's website (which was very well done), and I thought I will give them a try. Appliancepartspros, got me the correct (thank you) parts to me very fast (thank you again). I was afraid that replacing the seals and bearing was more then I could handle, but I kept watching the tech on Appliancepartspros and he took it, step by step and was really great. The job is now done, the machine is like new and I am very happy. Everything went great.

Yes, the parts arrived at a timely manner and is now fixed. I like how the parts were packaged. I was blessed to have a neighbor fix it for me. We will be ordering more parts from this company in the future. Sincerely, Nicole D

There diagnosis tips helped me figure out what parts I should purchase and replace. The video attached to the parts page really helped me get it done. Turned out to be pretty easy. It's now quiet and is operating like new again.

It was fairly difficult, but I watched and followed the Appliance PartsPros video and was able to get it done using the parts I purchased from APP. The leak has stopped (but I'm still watching after 5 loads).
