Description

This thrust spacer positions and supports the washer tub assembly, keeping rotating parts aligned to reduce wear and maintain smooth operation. It's a small but important part for proper drivetrain alignment in top-load washers. What it does:

• Centers and spaces the tub or agitator relative to the gearbox/shaft to prevent metal-on-metal contact
• Helps maintain correct clearance for smooth spin and agitation
• Can reduce noise and vibration caused by misalignment
• Commonly replaced when wear or damage causes rubbing, grinding, or poor spinning performance

What's included:

• One thrust spacer

Install notes:

• Designed for use with compatible washer assemblies; follow your model's service manual for fitment and orientation
• Disconnect power and water supply before servicing the washer
• Inspect adjacent seals, bearings, and shaft components while replacing the spacer; replace any worn parts
