REPLACEMENTKITS.COM Replacement Kits Brand fits LG & Kenmore Front Load Washing Machine Bearing & Seal Kit

Hey. My washing machine doesn't sound like a locomotive anymore. There are some good YouTube videos that show you how to do the repair. It sucks a bit quite frankly but it is doable. Be prepared for the shaft yo be stuck on the old bearing but it's a fairly easy fix. Tge whole thing will take about 4 hours and borrow a friend to help. It is easier.

good

The "inner" bearing on my washer was bad, and taking both bearings out was a BEAR. I happen to have a bearing drive tool kit, however without that, I fear I would have damaged the new bearings putting them in (very tight fit). Getting the old one's out was no picnic, however big hammer+who cares if I damage the old bearing.... Washer is back together (new inner tub gasket and spider support for insurance) and working great (and quiet again!).

When I started looking for replacement bearings I was tempted to look at the more "cost effective" kits but that can sometimes come back to bite you. I eventually settled on this kit and don't regret my decision at all. All of the pieces fit very precisely and had no issues with the installation. All of the materials used appear to be quality materials which is something to consider because with a repair such as this one you don't want to end up having to go back into it again for any reason.

Reviewing YouTube videos are the key to getting this job done. After 4-5 hours of hard labor, I was able to say that the bearing fit. Taking the drum out of the unit takes a lot of work, but I spent the bulk of my time trying to get the old bearings out of the drum after taking several breaks in between. The old bearings were just stuck in there and did not want to move.
