Whirlpool Duet wfw9200sqa12 Bearing Kit – How To
I have seen where some wfw9200sqa12 washers have been having
the bearing failure. You can replace your wfw9200sqa12 tub bearings and seal.
See www.washerbearings.com
In general, you have to dis assemble your wfw9200sqa12 to
the point where you remove the large tub assembly and then you split it and
then you can remove the inner stainless steel basket/support bracket assembly.
Take some digital photos along the way to help the reassembly process.
Once you have the rear tub all to itself, you can pry the
worn seal out and that should expose the front ( or inner) bearing. I use a
socket and extension to tap out the smaller rear bearing first. Note: Check for
a retainer clip (snap ring) on the rear bearing before you start tapping it.
After rear bearing is out I then turn the tub over and start tapping the front
bearing.
When tapping in new bearings keep the impacts on the outer
race of bearing because you can damage new bearing if you tap on the inner race
when installing it in a bearing housing. Reverse the process and reassemble
machine, test run and look for any leaks and notice the quietness J
