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

Neptune Bearing Replacement - How To

Neptune Bearing Replacement - How To

 If you have a Maytag Neptune Front load washer there will come a time when it starts to morph into a jet plane or even a freight train..


Since you probably don't want a jet plane in your home you will want to replace your Neptune tub bearings and seal asap.



You can replace your washer bearings without the special Neptune bearing replacement tool or Tony Tool if you're handy with tools. The tool kit does save you time and effort when changing your bearings. The tool kit rental includes the tub bearings, 12002022 seal kit, bearing spacer, 2" wire wheel and step by step DVD. You can order the Maytag Neptune bearing and 12002022 Seal Kit HERE and it works on all solid door (no window) panel Neptune's. 

You can find other washer bearing and seal kits HERE.

I hope this post was helpful.

Thank you,

Jeff Hartman


P.S. For other appliance parts you can visit www.washerbearings.com/parts get new replacement parts for your appliances.



Otherwise you can always use the Neptune Washer Back up Plan which is shown below...

Maytag Neptune MAH9700 Bearing and Seal Kit



Maytag Neptune MAH9700 Bearing and Seal Kit:

We have just released the MAH9700 Bearing and Seal kit for those machines that sound like a jet plane taking off. See MAH9700 Bearing and Seal Kit for more information.

No special tools are required to replace your MAH9700 bearings and tub seal. I would expect a few hours to complete the task depending on how much cleaning you do while you have your washer apart.

When you purchase the MAH9700 tub bearings and seal you will receive an email with more information including a link where you can download the service manual.

Let me know if you need anything else by leaving a comment.

For other appliance parts ( other than washer tub bearing and seal kits) you can visit my www.washerbearings.com/parts and enter your model number.

Maytag Appliance Parts 22004473 Motor Control Board - LR error code

Maytag Appliance Parts 22004473 Motor Control Board

If you open up the top section you should discover a document in there that has the wiring diagram and diagnostic tests you can run on your Neptune.
The 'LR' error code means Locked Rotor and usually shows up if the motor drive system is not following what the machine control board (MCB) is instructing it to do. The MCB instructs the motor control board how fast and how which direction to rotate the inner basket. I would also check that the belt is still on the pulleys.
Sometimes the motor control board has simply failed and does not rotate the basket or it could be that the speed sensor on the motor has quit working or has a bad connection. I will check all of the connectors in the machine and clean them by removing the connectors and reinstalling them. The sliding action will clean the connector pins if there is oxidation built up on the pins. Just make sure you install the connectors in the exact same position they were originally. When working around the motor control board which is located near the floor I would take a look at the board and see if there are any physical burnt components, leaking or bulging capacitors, etc.
After inspecting all of the connectors in the machine that you can get to I would retest the motor drive. If it does not rotate the basket and you still get the LR error code it is time to replace the motor control board. In 99% of failures the motor control board fails, not the motor. You can visit www.22004473.com for more information on the replacement motor control boards. 

Please visit www.washerbearings.com/parts to order replacement parts other than tub bearings and seal. and enter your model number and they can look up the part you need.

Maytag Neptune Washer Seal Replacement - How to replace



Maytag Neptune washer seal replacement - If you notice your Maytag Neptune front load washer starting to sound like a freight train you should know that it is time... Time to replace your Maytag Neptune bearing and seal.

Although, you can rent the special Neptune bearing tool kit you can replace the bearings without it. The photo above shows the Neptune bearing and a revised lip seal, o ring and installation cup.

If you have the earlier lip seal you cannot install the revised lip seal because the spinner support shaft is machined different than the spinner support shaft that uses the revised lip seal. If you replace the Neptune spinner support it will come with the revised lip seal.

I would recommend having a large 8 pound hammer available just in case when replacing your Neptune tub bearings...

Let me know if you have any questions.
