Product review (5 stars): Genuine Whirlpool Replacement
Part is a genuine replacement part and fits exactly like the original. The only difference is the original was painted gray. The original support lasted for about 19 years and had to be replaced because it was too severely pitted and rusted to continue in service. There is a kit with the seals and bushings for this support available if your original support is still usable (I installed that kit in my original support years ago to extend its life). If the seals in this support start leaking, water from the tub leaks down into the clutch, which causes it to slip and spin slowly or not at all.
