Perfect Appliance Repair Tampa replaces washing machine bearings for quoted after the $69 diagnostic, parts and labor. The drum bearing supports the inner tub on front-load washers and allows it to spin smoothly. When it fails, the noise is unmistakable and it gets louder with every load. Bearing replacement always includes the tub seal. These two parts must be replaced together because the seal keeps water from reaching and rusting the bearing, and a worn seal is almost always what caused the bearing to fail in the first place. This is a 2-3 hour job on front-load washers because the machine must be partially disassembled to reach the bearing behind the drum. Tampa washing machine bearing repair is worth the cost on Samsung, LG, and Whirlpool front-loaders that are 3-8 years old with 5-10 more years of useful life. We Stand Behind Our Work.

Perfect Appliance Repair Tampa handles washer bearing replacement on the brands most commonly found in Tampa homes. Samsung front-load washers are the most frequent bearing call, particularly the 4.5 and 5.0 cubic foot models. LG front-load washers use a similar rear-bearing design and are a close second. Whirlpool Duet and Cabrio front-load models also see bearing wear. Maytag Maxima washers share bearing components with Whirlpool. GE front-load washers, Bosch 500 and 800 series, and Electrolux/Frigidaire front-loaders are also on our service list. Top-load washers rarely need drum bearing replacement due to a simpler vertical tub design, but Perfect Appliance Repair Tampa services bearing and tub support issues on top-loaders as well. Call (813) 522-0014 with your model number and we'll confirm part availability.
Tampa washer bearing replacement costs quoted after the $69 diagnostic, parts and labor included. The bearing and tub seal kit runs quoted after the $69 diagnostic depending on the brand. The rest is labor: this is a 2-3 hour repair on most front-load washers because the drum must be removed to reach the rear bearing housing. $69 diagnostic, 100% applied to your repair if you approve the work. The decision to repair versus replace depends on the washer's age and remaining value. For a Samsung or LG front-loader that's 5-7 years old, a quoted after the $69 diagnostic bearing repair is almost always the better choice compared to buying a new machine at quoted after the $69 diagnostic. For a washer over 10 years old or with other pending issues, we'll give you an honest assessment of whether the repair makes financial sense.
