Compatible Models
We do our best to list all compatible models. Although this may be the part you need, your exact model may not appear below.
Compatible equipment / model
- Compatible Whirlpool Duet front-load washers using bearing/seal reference 8181666
- Verify the complete washer model number from the door-jamb or cabinet label
Product Overview
A washer that roars during spin, develops drum play, leaks from the rear tub area, or leaves rust marks may have failed tub bearings and a damaged shaft seal after the basket and spider are inspected.
This is a bearing-and-seal repair kit, not a complete outer tub. Appliance model numbers and tub construction vary, and the repair requires complete disassembly plus proper bearing removal and installation tools.

Q: Is this supplied by Whirlpool? A: No. This is a new aftermarket product. Brand and model names identify compatible applications only.
