6-2040130 Whirlpool Tub Bearing Kit

The Tub Bearing Kit is a genuine OEM part designed for Whirlpool washing machines. It contains all the essential items needed to replace the tub bearing, which supports the inner tub and facilitates smooth spinning during the wash cycle. Over time, this bearing might wear out or sustain damage, potentially causing increased noise, vibrations, or leaks from the machine.

Factors leading to tub bearing failure often include normal wear and tear, handling heavy or unbalanced loads that impose extra stress on the bearing, or damage from water leaks.

Signs of a failing tub bearing are:

- Noticeable noise or grinding sounds during the wash cycle.
- Washer shaking or vibrating.
- Water leaking around the tub area.
- The inner tub failing to spin or getting jammed.

This specific Whirlpool part is also compatible with appliances from Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears.
