Description

The Tub Wheel supports and guides the washer's tub assembly on its base during wash and spin cycles. Replacing a worn wheel restores smoother, quieter operation and helps reduce vibration and rubbing as the machine operates.

• Provides rolling support so the tub can move and self-balance during cycles
• Reduces friction between the tub and the base/frame
• Helps keep the tub centered to minimize noise and vibration
• Failure symptoms include squeaking or grinding, scraping noises, dragging movement, or visible flat spots/cracks on the wheel

What's included: 1 tub wheel Install notes:

• Disconnect power and water supply before servicing; wear appropriate gloves and eye protection
• Access the base/suspension per the service information and support the tub to remove load from the wheel
• Remove the retainer/axle, install the new wheel, and free rotation and correct orientation
• Reassemble, level the appliance, and run a spin test to check for noise and balance
