Product review (5 stars): Worked fine - genuine Whirlpool FSP, not a knock-off
I rubbed some auto brakes hi-temp silicone lube (1/2 of the small packet from the auto parts counter) into the shoes and onto the brake drum to keep the braking from being too aggressive (this is hard on the tub suspension and drive train). About 1.5-2 sec to spin down is good w/full load. You can also add a dab with the washer fully assembled and cabinet off- just reach underneath the tub & you can see/feel where the brake shoes sit - just dab between them. Because of doing this my basket drive lasted 25 years at 6 loads/week until the center bearing finally wore down- the brakes were still like new. The bearing wear symptom was a clanking/clacking sound when spin was starting. The sound went away once spin was up to speed.
