Whirlpool Washer Dryer Combo Bearing Parts

The Bearing and Seal Kit is an OEM component for Whirlpool and KitchenAid front-load washing machines. The kit includes 2 center post bearings, 3 agitator shaft seals, and 1 center post seal.

These internal seals help retain lubrication inside the motor shaft housing, while the bearings allow for smooth rotation of critical components like the drive pulley. Continuous belt rubbing and water exposure diminish their lifespan over time.

Symptoms of worn motor seals or bearings include:

• Abnormal vibrations during the wash or spin cycles
• Noisy operation and grinding sounds from the motor
• Difficulty starting or stopping the cycle

This OEM kit is also compatible with Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, and select Kenmore models.

The Front Bearing and Seal Kit is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dryers. This kit includes the front bearing and seal for the dryer drum, which work together to provide smooth operation and prevent premature wear.

Causes of a bad front bearing and seal can include regular wear and tear from normal use, heavy loads that place extra strain on the bearings, or debris accumulation causing increased friction.

Symptoms of issues include:

• Noisy or grinding sounds coming from the drum area
• Vibration noticed during the operation
• Difficulty turning or rotating the dryer drum by hand
• Reduced efficiency and longer drying times

This OEM replacement kit is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

This small hardware washer sits under a fastener in the specified assembly to distribute load and maintain proper spacing. Replacing a worn or missing washer helps keep components tight, aligned, and operating smoothly.

• Distributes clamping force to prevent fastener pull-through and damage
• Maintains correct spacing/stack-up in the original assembly
• Helps reduce loosening, vibration, and premature wear at the joint
• Typical signs of trouble include rattling, looseness, or misalignment at the connection point

• Disconnect power (and turn off water supply if accessing a wet area)
• Use your model's parts diagram to locate and install the washer
• Replace one-for-one; reinstall any spacers or clips in the same stack sequence
• Tighten fasteners to manufacturer guidance—do not overtighten

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.

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
