WP91938 Whirlpool Shaft Seal

The Shaft Seal is a genuine OEM part designed for Whirlpool washing machines. It is engineered to encircle the shaft that links the tub to the transmission or motor, effectively preventing water from seeping out of the tub and damaging the machine's internal parts.

Whirlpool's range of brands includes Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures components for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea appliances. This specific Shaft Seal is compatible not only with Whirlpool washers but also with appliances from Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and certain Kenmore models.

Typically, the Shaft Seal may deteriorate due to regular usage, as the ongoing movement of the shaft can wear down the seal over time.

Indications of a failing Shaft Seal include water leaks from the bottom of the washing machine during or following a wash cycle, unusual noises during the spin cycle possibly due to water infiltrating the bearings, and visible signs of rust or corrosion near where the shaft enters the tub.
