What causes tub bearings to fail?

Tub bearings typically fail due to wear and tear over time, often accelerated by water exposure from a worn tub seal. Overloading the washer or frequent use with unbalanced loads can also contribute to premature failure, leading to noise and vibration.

Can I replace just one bearing?

It is generally recommended to replace all bearings and the tub seal as a complete kit. If one bearing has failed, the others are likely nearing the end of their lifespan, and the seal is critical for preventing water damage to the new bearings, ensuring a lasting repair.

Is this a difficult repair for a DIYer?

Replacing tub bearings is considered an advanced repair. It requires significant disassembly of the washing machine, often specialized tools like a bearing puller, and careful attention to detail for proper reassembly. It can be time consuming and challenging for beginners.
