8540347 Seal For Whirlpool Duet Sport Front Load Washer

8540347 Seal For Whirlpool Duet Sport Front Load Washer (8400 & 8500 models)




















8540347 – approx. 3 5/8” o.d. X 1 13/16” i.d. X .5” thick

It turns out that the seal is not available so I created a custom double lip seal made that replaces the original 8540347 seal. This way you can save lots of money by replacing your Duet Sport bearings and seal verses purchasing a new rear tub. This 8540347 seal should also fit the Kenmore Elite HE2 front load washers…


Models are:
MHWZ600TB00
MHWZ600TK00
MHWZ600TW00
MWFW8500SR01
MWFW8500SR02
WFW8400TB00
WFW8400TB01
WFW8400TE00
WFW8400TW00
WFW8400TW01
WFW8400TW02
WFW8500SR01
WFW8500SR02
WFW8500SR0


See Duet Bearing to order these bearing and seal kits. I will also offer the seals separate in case you prefer to source your own bearings locally and will provide bulk seal purchases for appliance repair centers, laundromats, etc. Send me an email if you would like bulk 8540091 or 8540347 seals in packs of (10) or more.


In addition, 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…
