Washer Tub Bearing and Seal Kit with Nachi Bearings, Fits Kenmore and Electrolux Tub 134642100 (Includes a 5 Year Replacement Warranty and Link to Our How to Videos)

Our once quiet Electrolux washer was making what others have called a jet engine sound while spinning. Most articles said it is likely the bearings. My choices were: 1) pay for repair - $600-$1000; 2) buy a new washer - $1200; or 3) try to do the repair. After reading a lot online about this problem I decided to give it a try. I chose this bearing kit as it had many good review and would seem to be good quality. The bearings came quickly and came with the inner seal and a link to generic yet super helpful instructions. I also purchased a generic mid-tub outer seal for $10 as opposed to the $75 that the local parts store wanted for the OEM gasket. I recommend that you get a replacement gasket. Do not risk having to do this job twice. Great instructions exist online but note this was a bear of a job - but I felt it was worth a try for $79 +$10 verses a repairman or buying a new one. Once I got all the way in I saw that the 2 old bearings were 'shot' - so the diagnosis was correct. These new bearings and the included inner seal were a perfect fit. The washer is now quiet and does not leak.Difficulties/suggestions on this job: 1) When performing this job remove screws at each step and put in little sandwich bags with a note as to where they go -what step they were removed; 2) The tub is a little heavy and awkward to lift in and out. This is the only part of the job that I needed help from a second person; 3) The bolt that holds the pulley wheel to the tub was really hard to remove. I stripped the head and then had to use an extractor plus a cheap heat gun to loosen it. I bought a compatible bolt and washer from HD to replace it. I hope this is not a problem for others. ; 4) the removing and replacing the bearings was not easy but the video link provided was extremely helpful. FYI - this is probably the biggest job you can do on a washer. Once you have done this you realize that you can replace anything else on this washer easily. Note: I do not do this kind of job professionally but am good with tools. We love our current washer and felt like it was more than worth giving it a try to fix. Glad I did and I am very happy with the bearing set we bought. If you decide to do this job I can highly recommend this bearing kit.

The outer race was the wrong size (slightly smaller) for my Electrolux washing machine.

Good heavy duty set of bearings. Seemed better than the originals. Check back in 10 years.

Update 6/15/2021- Rating Reduce significantly. The bearings have failed after two years of service. Original review from 2019 follows. It has some important details so leaving as is. Too expensive a bearing to have to replace in only two years.Original 2019 Review:The bearings fit well and nicely replaced my bad original bearings. They run quiet and seemed of good quality. As an engineer that specifies bearings, it is obvious that there is quite a markup on these, but I chalk it up to paying for the effort the seller put in to make sure you get the right ones.If you are going to take this project on, here are some things to consider:1 This job requires above average mechanical abilities. You will need tools available like a sledgehammer , Phillips and Torx screwdrivers, channel locks, pliers, sockets and ratchets, and such2 Plan on a full day of work on this unless you are well practiced3 Be sure to have not only the bearings, but a new tub seal, and have new front and back shock absorber kits available, just in case. If you don't need them you can return them, but if you DO need them, you will be waiting for days with the machine torn apart waiting for them to arrive (like me, ugh)4 The bearing installation itself is very similar to replacing the bearing on a car brake drum or rotor. If you've done that before, you will feel right at home with that part of the project.5 The included video instructions are not model specific, just a generic overview. It does not include any details about how to actually get the tub assembly out of your particular machine. You will either need to search for online videos showing you the techniques of doing that, or figure it out on your own.Good luck!

Great Item to fix a Known problem with Front Load Washers! So much better than a $500 or $600 service call. This repair is not for the novice 'Wrencher'. The videos provided by the seller are very informative and a must watch before you get in to the washing machine. I would highly recommend this product from this seller. Thank you James!

Replacing the washer bearings is a job that takes a lot of time and requires adequate tools and at least 6 hours. A full drum removal requires dismantling a large part of the washer. In addition to some other reviews:• order a new drum seal, in my case GENUINE Electrolux 134361900 Gasket, Replacement. In videos on this repair I have seen the gasket is reused or installed with silicone adhesive/caulk. I am sure the silicone would work, but it always has the potential for mess and if you have to split the drum again it will be difficult.• if you remove the motor control board, take a picture or draw a diagram of the wire connections, there are more connections on the board than wires you connect.• the drum is heavy. plan for some help with reinstallation. I took it out alone, but asked a friend for help reinstalling.• the video offered by the seller is not machine specific and is located online. Watch videos by repair clinic and other appliance repair pros before you take on this task or begin it to learn if you have the aptitude for the project.• if you knew which parts to order and what size to order you might save a few dollars ~40%. The seller does that work and deserves some payment, so I am happy with my purchase.• review is 4/5 stars because it is implied that there are machine specific instructions and there are not

Fits Electrolux front washer. Worth every penny, as it helped give new life to washer with worn bearing.
