It turns out that the seal is not presently available so I had a custom double lip seal made that replaces the original 8540091 seal. This way you can save lots of money by replacing your Duet Sport bearings and seal verses purchasing a new outer rear tub.
Models are:
CHW9900VQ0
MWFW8300SW01
MWFW8300SW02
WFW8200TW00
WFW8200TW01
WFW8300SW01
WFW8300SW02
WFW8300SW03
WFW8300SW04
I also have a new 8540347 seal in the works for the 8400 and 8500 Duet Sports as well and should have some in stock in 6 weeks.
See Duet Bearing to order these bearing and seal kits. I will also offer the seals separate in case you can source your own bearings and will provide bulk seal purchases for appliance repair centers, laundromats, etc. Send me an email if you would like bulk 8540091 seals (and 8540347 when they are available) in packs of (10) or more.
I've offered Maytag Neptune bearing and seal kits over three years now and have saved Neptune owners a bundle because that service is usually quoted at about $900! If you know someone who owns a Maytag Neptune front loader send them to Neptune Bearing for replacement bearings and seals.
Until next time…
