Sealed Ball Bearing 35x80x21mm 6307-2RS Chrome Steel With Dual Rubber Seals Pre-Greased For Dust And Contamination Protection And Smooth Operation In Radial And Light Duty Applications

Using the specification from the old bearing I ordered this one from VXB and got exactly what I needed for our front load Kenmore washer. Great price prompt shipping and good quality.

Product is performing as expected. Fit was perfect. Fast shipping from company.

Product worked as it should have.

I had ordered these 6306-2RS Bearing (30x72x19 Sealed Ball Bearing) and 6307-2RS Bearing (35x80x21 Sealed Ball Bearing) from VXB.com through [@] for my Kenmore front loader washer model # 41744042400. I had to replace these bearings along with the inner basket ([@] part # 131618500) and Metric Oil Shaft Seal 40 x 80 x 10 40x80x10 Double Lip. Now since I was working on my washing machine by myself I had time and wanted to make sure that I should get years of trouble free service from my washing machine and that I don't have to do it all over again any time soon. Since bearings rotate at high speed so to reduce friction for their longer life a good greased lubrication is a must. I pry opened the Seals of these bearings from the inner circle with 2-3 mm flat screw driver. There were about 4-5 drops of grease on only one side inside each of these bearings which is expected to lubricate the bearing when it spins. I washed the bearings with hot running water wiped and dried them. Then I picked up "Super Tech Marine Grease" from [@]. As per the manufacturer of the Super Tech Marine Grease "Super Tech Marine Grease is a state-of-the-art lithium complex grease. This tacky grease resists water washout even under the most severe saltwater conditions. It offers superior protection against rust corrosion and oxidation."I filled up these bearings with Marine Grease and for those who are replacing bearings on their washing machine I would recommend them to fill same grease in the empty space in between the bearing and the outer lip seal as this way water or moisture can not make their way towards bearings.For those who are replacing the inner rotating drums of their front loader washer because of broken spider. I would recommend them to remove the spider from new drum wash it with soapy water remove any oils then spray paint it with Rust-Oleum primer and paint. The hole for screw that holds the spider the spider and the screw all are tapered so there are no chances of misalignment when putting these back together.I had installed these bearings in 11 2011 and do about 4-5 loads of laundry a week. I am going to update if as and when these bearings fail. But with this proper lubrication I expect them to last for kind of forever :-)

Great Replacement Bearing for GE Washing Machine. My washer was getting a little loud and then I found grease on a load of clothes so I knew a bearing was on its way out. Ordered parts and got them in three days later. A few hours work and I saved hundreds of Dollars over replacing washing machine drum or buying a new machine. Could likely do the job in under two hours now that I know what I'm doing. Highly recommended to the family handy man or a business wanting to stock up on quality bearings at a low price!
