Whirlpool Duet Bearing – How To Replace

Whirlpool Duet Bearing – How To Replace

If your Whirlpool Duet front load washer sounds like a freight train then it is time to derail your Duet and replace the tub seal and bearings. The duet bearing replacement process is pretty straight forward and no special tools are required. See Whirlpool Duet Bearing for the replacement tub bearing and seal kits. Most appliance repair centers will tell you that you have the replace the rear tub but that is just not the case…

The bearing Kits include an eBook that will give you tips on bearing replacements as well as a link to a service manual you can download to help as well. Tell all of your family and friends that you can replace the Whirlpool Duet at www.duetbearing.com.

Kenmore Elite HE3 Bearing and Seal Kit – How To

Kenmore Elite HE3 Bearing and Seal Kit – How To

If you own a Kenmore Elite HE3 front load washer and it has morphed into a jet plane… I have great news!  You can replace your bearings and seal and save! I would expect 3 hours for the repair depending on how much cleaning you do while you have the Elite disassembled. You won’t need any special tools to replace the tub seal and bearings. See Elite Bearing for the tub bearing and seal kits. The Elite kit works on the HE3, HE3T, HE4, HE4T, HE5 and HE5T models. If you have the HE2 model you will need this 8540347 bearing and Seal kit.

When you notice the washer getting louder usually in high speed spin mode you will want to take action asap before the rust sets in the bearings. Otherwise, you may have a bearing that hangs up and scores the support bracket shaft. Whirlpool only offers the support brackets along with a new stainless steel basket as an assembly which drives up the cost considerably. If your support bracket shaft is damaged you can repair it by taking it to a machine shop where they can install a sleeve or weld up the area and machine it back down again for the new bearing.

I hope this was helpful.

Whirlpool Duet wfw9200sqa12 Bearing Kit – How To Replace

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
