Product Description
The SPEED QUEEN 646P3 is a hub and seal kit designed for use in Speed Queen laundry equipment. This kit addresses wear at the tub bearing hub and seal interface, which is a common service point in top-load and front-load washing machines. When the hub or seal degrades, water can migrate into the bearing assembly, causing noise, vibration, or bearing failure. Appliance technicians and laundry equipment service pros install this kit as part of a targeted repair rather than a full drum or bearing assembly replacement. The 646P3 includes the components necessary to restore a proper seal at the hub and prevent further moisture intrusion into the drive system.
This kit is suited for residential Speed Queen washing machine service calls where hub wear or seal failure has been identified. It is a direct service part sourced from Speed Queen, intended for technicians familiar with drum removal and bearing area disassembly. The repair is typically performed when symptoms such as grinding noise, visible water leaks near the tub bottom, or excessive spin vibration point to hub and seal degradation.
