One of the biggest questions Whirlpool Cabrio owners have is: if my bearings are bad do I have to replace the whole outer tub? The answer is no. There is a bearing kit that makes the bearing repair process a more affordable fix. This article also includes the Maytag Bravso and Kenmore Oasis both manufactured by Whirlpool.
First, lets establish if your bearings are bad. Here are is a simple checklist that will help you determine if your bearings are going out.
- Does your Whirlpool Cabrio sound like a jet plane is taking off when in spin cycle?
- Does your Whirlpool Cabrio have rust or grease splatters on the ground?
If you answered yes to any of the above, your bearings need to be replaced. But before you go off and buy your bearing replacement kit, lets establish that your Whirlpool Cabrio, Maytag Bravos, or Kenmore Oasis model can the bearing kit. Take a peek under your washer and if it has a rotor like the one in the picture below, the bearing kit should work with your washing machine. But to be sure, for your convenience there are model numbers listed at the bottom of this post.
These two videos will show you how to replace the bearing and seal:
The bearing kit is part number W10435302 to make the job easier and in order to not risk damaging the bearings, I would recommend using the bearing press tool. If you purchase the bearings from Repiair Clinic you can return the bearings with-in 365 days if they don’t work out for you.
