Tub Bearing 4280FR4048N

This genuine washing machine tub bearing helps support the inner drum and allows it to rotate smoothly during wash and spin cycles. Designed to reduce friction and maintain proper drum alignment, it can help restore quiet, efficient operation when the original bearing becomes worn. Replacing a failing bearing may help resolve issues such as excessive noise, vibration, drum wobble, or rough spinning performance. The bearing measures approximately 30 mm inner diameter, 72 mm outer diameter, and 19 mm wide. Installation Instructions: Disconnect power and water supplies to the washer. Remove the top, rear, and front panels as required to access the outer tub assembly. Remove the drive belt, pulley, and inner wash basket. Separate the outer tub halves to expose the bearing location. Carefully remove the worn bearing using the appropriate bearing removal tools. Clean the bearing housing and press the new bearing into place, ensuring it is fully seated. Reassemble the tub, reinstall the basket, pulley, and drive belt, and reconnect all components. Restore power and water, then run a test cycle to verify smooth and quiet operation. Note: Because tub bearing replacement requires significant disassembly of the washer, it is often recommended to inspect and replace related components such as the tub seal if wear is present. In addition, there are multiple bearings in these units. Please be sure to locate the appropriate part needed per the schematics of your specific model.
