Washer tub bearing replacement in Ottawa

Bearings support the drum shaft at the back of the tub; a seal keeps water out of them.

Signs it has failed

  • Roaring at spin

  • Rusty streaks from the back of the tub

How we confirm it first

The technician checks drum play and noise and looks for signs of a failed seal.

What the repair involves

A major repair: the tub is disassembled to replace bearings and seal.

Why it fails

The rear seal wears and lets water reach the bearings, which then rust and roar. Overloading and constant high-speed spins add wear.

How to make it last

Don't overload the drum and use the right amount of HE detergent; excess suds can work past seals.

Repair or replace?

Often not worth it on older or budget washers; the finding prices it against replacement.
