Additional Information

This bearing and seal kit (part number 285203) includes the parts needed to support the spin basket shaft and seal the tub to prevent leaks during washing and spinning. It helps maintain smooth basket rotation and prevents water from damaging the motor or transmission.

If your washer makes grinding or rumbling noises during spin, leaks from beneath the tub, or the basket wobbles excessively, the bearing and seal may be worn or damaged. Replacing the kit restores quiet, leak-free operation and protects internal components.

Unplug the washer and shut off the water supply before installing this part. Wear work gloves to protect your hands.
