Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Water appearing under the washer, especially after the tub fills or during agitation/spin
• Water tracking from the underside of the outer tub near the centerpost area
• Moisture reaching nearby tub-support or bearing components

Check Before Replacing

• Unplug the washer and shut off its water supply before inspection.
• Inspect the floor and underside of the washer for water trails originating near the center of the outer tub rather than from the inlet hoses, drain hose, pump, or other connections.
• With the washer disconnected from power, inspect the visible underside area for signs of a worn, torn, displaced, or deteriorated centerpost seal.
• Confirm the leak occurs during or after filling, agitation, or spinning; this component is not the only possible cause of an under-washer leak.
• Use the appliance’s model-specific service documentation for any cabinet, tub, or basket disassembly; do not operate the washer with protective panels removed.
