Parts That Fix Kenmore Washer 79641172211 Spinning Issues

This friction damper assembly in your washer stabilizes the tub or drum. It absorbs the movements and vibrations during the spin cycle to keep the machine steady and reduce noise. It connects the tub to the cabinet. If the assembly is broken, your washer may be excessively noisy or shaky. This genuine OEM replacement part is sold individually, and separately from the shock absorbers.

The tub bearing supports the spin basket shaft at the back of the washing tub. If your washing machine will not spin, is leaking water, or if there is a loud screeching noise during the wash cycle, there could be an issue with the tub bearing. This genuine OEM replacement bearing has a 3-inch outer diameter, and is used to help the tub spin smoothly and to stop the washing machine from shaking during the cycle. NOTE: This part is very difficult to install. The manufacturer recommends replacing the complete rear tub and bearing assembly at the same time.

If you notice your washing machine is leaking water from the top of the transmission, it might be due to the gasket being damaged or worn down. When replacing your gasket, consider replacing your tub bearings at the same time. The gasket (or seal) is located at the back of the outer tub of your washing machine. To access this part you will need to pull the top off of the appliance by releasing the screws holding it in place. This part is sold individually, is black in color, and measures 3 inches in diameter.
