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.

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

MWFW8500SR02

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…

 Hi Neptuner,

Whirlpool Duet Sport seals are in… I have a batch of Whirlpool Duet Sport seals in and they can be purchased at http://www.duetbearing.com/ along with the bearings, too. The Original Duet Sport seals have FSP, ATP-1-17 and 8540091 on them. The Duet Sport bearing and seal kits are closer to the bottom of the order form.
