Worn or cracked tub seal allows water to escape past the drum spin shaft, causing puddles under the washer during wash or spin cycles.
A failed seal lets water reach the drum bearings, causing bearing wear and a violent banging or grinding noise as the drum spins up to high speed.
Degraded seal material or contaminated bearings generate friction heat and allow mildew to develop inside the rear tub cavity.
Once the seal fails and the bearings corrode, the drum shaft loses its tight fit, causing excessive vibration and the machine shaking during spin.
💡 Pro Tip: Is Your Center Tub Seal Failing?
Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:
⚠️ Water pooling under the washer during or after the spin cycle
⚠️ Loud banging or slapping noise when the drum ramps up to high spin speed
⚠️ Musty or burning smell coming from inside the drum or rear of the machine
⚠️ Visible rust, grease, or dark residue around the rear drum shaft area
🔍 Diagnosis tip: Pull the washer away from the wall and check the underside for oil or water stains. If you also see bearing play (grab the drum and rock it side-to-side — any wobble means the bearing and seal both need replacement). Always replace the oil seal and drum bearings together as a set for best results.
