Whirlpool Exact Replacement W10435302 W10193886 PS3503261 Bearing Kit by PRIMECO - WARRANTY

Parts fit and work perfectly in my clients 5 year old Whirlpool Cabrio washer.In this case I had to replace the shaft as splines connecting to hub have been completely corroded away.And while you are at it replacing bearings and seal is a smart thing to do.If you don't use the tool to install the bearings make sure you use big enough socket to drive outer ring of bearnigs and not the inner one or plastic dust seal.I could take away 1/10 of a star for no markings on the tubes but you can tell which one is adhisive and which one is silicone grease.... on that note silicone grease i received was very runny (consistence of melted butter).But overall kit fit and worked perfectly.

The product works, but the repair is just not easy. It requires attention to detail and some experience to be done right.In my case, the bearings were tight. I had to home them tapping on them. On one I think I broke the seal. This wouldn't happen if I had the right tools.Something very cheese and even unsafe is that the grease and the glue are not labeled. Something so simple and it is missed. Shameful.

The parts kit was reasonably priced and shipped within a day or two. It fit the machine as advertised and i made the repair with only basic hand tools. The directions could be more detailed with more pictures to aid installation. I made a trial fit up of the bearings and bolt with the install tool, which turned out to be a good idea as the instruction is not clear on the press face to attain proper depth of press on the bearing, particularly if this is your first attempt. I'm pretty handy with tools, auto, construction etc so I'm confident of my assessment.

Ordered kit to replace the bearings and shaft for Maytag Bravo MVWB300WQ1 top load washer. The only issue that I found was that the glue and grease supplied with this kit did not have labels or printing on them for me to determine which was which. Outside of that, there are several videos online detailing the installation of this type of kit which things easier and saving me a few hundred dollars. It’s a straight forward repair for any diy person.

Good value, quick delivery. However:1) Absolutely no instructions included. Fortunately good videos on you tube (AppliancePartsPros.com is excellent video). Instructions would have been nice as there are some variations on Youtube video for grease and sealant placement.2) Sealant and Grease tubes not labeled as shown on description. Both clear until mixed grease tube by squeezing while closed and then mixed to thicker opaque gel but still not very viscous so hope it holds up in seal.3) Replacement shaft fit in bearings and length okay but tapped threads on bottom for Rotor was not deep enough. Had to cut about 3/16" off threads so it would seat correctly on rotor and hold securely in place. When putting rotor back on new shaft the bolt would bottom out in threads before shoulder bolt seated on rotor (~3/16 shy). Confirmed original shaft had deeper threads but at this point only solution was to cut a few threads off bolt to allow it to secure rotor in place properly.

Original shaft lasted 9 years. I replaced the bearing and shaft as this kit, and also the basket hub, then two months later had to change the hub kit again, then another month and another hub kit, then this last time the hub only lasted two weeks. It's not the hub that's the problem, it's the poor quality of the shaft. The splines on the upper end of the shaft have worn down in a matter of months, causing the hub to fail prematurely. This shaft lasted me 8 months and I'll be replacing with an actual Whirlpool brand replacement part.

I would give this zero stars if I could. Bearings are junk, they squeak while the washer is running. I now have to decide if I want to replace them before they fail.Avoid this brand.

All correct parts were included. Suggest you also get the Hub Kit as they deteriorate with time an will likely not last two shaft replacement cycles..This was the cheapest replacement set so I took a chance. The bearings were a little tight on the shaft, especially the top one. Needed a small belt sander to remove a little material at the bearing fit point as it would not go. A 10" flat file would also do the trick.Washer worked perfect afterward. Be prepared to have a small jack and a 2x4 to pop the tub off the old shaft.
