🔧 Frigidaire 3204405 Outer Tub Bearing: Reliable and Long-lasting Performance Review

It took some greasing and disassembly to remove the inner and outer pans. I knocked the old bearing out of the outer pan with a nut and a rubber mallet. Pound the new rotary bearing with a rubber mallet. Place the outer pan back into the washer with the new bearing. The tank seal set is installed in the outer tank. The inner tank is mounted and screwed to the shaft block. Agitator replaced, this agitator has no agitating claws. Has a built in slot. The washing machine now runs quietly and has…

This bearing (slim sleeve) fits very well. I lubricated the gear shaft with some kind of multipurpose oil and everything went fine.

My only recommendation if you are considering installing this bearing is to spend the extra $12 to buy a tank gasket and replace it at the same time. I had no leaks, but after…

After removing the entire tank, the hardest part is getting the old bearing off the floor the tub. There are only 2 screws holding it in place but it will most likely get stuck from years of dirt and water build up. I had to take a very large (about 1 1/8") head and knock it out with a hammer. After cleaning the inside of the rail with steel wool and 180 grit sandpaper, apply a light coat of white grease or something similar and put a new one back on.If you need to smack it in, use a block of…
