Front Load Bearings 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.

Very dissatisfied, it took a day of hard work to replace bearing . It only lasted 4 months . Now we have to replace it again.

Great bearings! They fit like a glove on the Electrolux washer spin basket for model EIFLW55HIW0. Washer is running like new again. Runs smooth and quiet. Very pleased!

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 such 2 Plan on a full day of work on this unless you are well practiced 3 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!

Bearings and seal for my EIFL555IIW0 washer fit perfect. Took almost 12 hours to change them out as I cleaned all the washer gunk out of the machine while it was apart. Glad to get rid of the $5 Chinese junk bearings Electrolux decided to put in their $1100 washer. If you have worked on a front wheel bearing on your car it's the same setup as what is in the washer. Knocked 1 star off the review as there was no video in the box as promised. YouTube had " Repair clinic" videos that I was able to piece together disassembly of the washer.

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

Quality product, perfect fit on my Electrolux EWFLW65HSS0. Requires a complete teardown of the washer. All day job, but better than $1300 for a new washer.

First set of bearings lasted 3 yrs and u can’t find my receipt. Hopefully theses will last longer .
