Washer leaks water from the outer tub or from above the transmission area during wash or spin cycle — a classic sign of a failed tub seal.
A worn or cracked tub seal allows water to reach the bearings, causing loud grinding, roaring, or rumbling sounds during the spin cycle.
A deteriorating seal can allow bearing grease or dirty water to contaminate laundry, leaving dark stains or marks on clothes after washing.
Washer leaks water from above the transmission area during wash or spin cycle — a classic sign of a failed tub seal.
A worn or cracked tub seal allows water to reach the bearings, causing loud grinding, roaring, or rumbling sounds during the spin cycle.
A deteriorating seal can allow bearing grease or dirty water to contaminate laundry, leaving dark stains or marks on clothes after washing.
When the tub seal and bearings fail, the drum loses smooth rotational support, leading to severe shaking and vibration during high-speed spin.
💡 Pro Tip: How to Know Your Tub Seal Has Failed
Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:
⚠️ Water leaking from the outer tub or from above the transmission area during operation
⚠️ Loud rumbling, grinding, or roaring noise while the drum is spinning
⚠️ Excessive moisture or puddles found under or around the washer after a cycle
⚠️ Dark grease marks or stains left on clothes after washing
Pro Tip: When replacing the tub seal, always inspect and replace the tub bearings (4280FR4048L and 4280FR4048E) at the same time. A failed seal is almost always accompanied by bearing damage — replacing just the seal without the bearings often results in repeat failures within months.
