This seal sits between the outer tub and the bearing housing, preventing water from reaching the rear bearing assembly during wash and spin cycles. A failed tub seal typically presents as water leaking from beneath the machine or abnormal noise caused by water-damaged bearings. Appliance repair technicians and experienced DIYers install this part as part of a tub bearing and seal service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tub seal is used in residential top-load and front-load washing machines where the original tub seal has worn, cracked, or allowed moisture intrusion into the bearing area. Replacing the tub seal at the first sign of leakage helps prevent secondary bearing failure, which can significantly extend machine service life. This is a genuine OEM replacement part manufactured by Whirlpool to original equipment specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine OEM part manufactured by Whirlpool to original specifications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned to seat between the outer tub and rear bearing housing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrevents water intrusion into the bearing assembly during operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect replacement for the original tub seal in compatible Whirlpool-built washers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement tub seal for compatible Whirlpool-built residential washing machines.
