Description

This bearing supports a rotating component inside the appliance so it turns smoothly with minimal friction. Replacing a worn bearing helps quiet operation, improves alignment, and prevents premature wear of related parts. What it does:

• Provides a low-friction surface for a shaft or hub to rotate smoothly
• Helps maintain alignment to reduce wobble and uneven wear
• Contributes to quieter, more reliable operation
• Common signs of failure: grinding or squealing noises, rough/stiff rotation, noticeable play/wobble, or visible wear/damage on the old bearing

What's included:

• 1 bearing

Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Access the bearing location and remove any retaining screws, clips, or fasteners; note the original orientation
• Clean mating surfaces; transfer any spacers/washers from the old part if present, and seat the new bearing fully
• Spin-test the component by hand to ensure smooth, wobble-free movement before reassembly and test
