Product review (5 stars): Whirlpool Front Load Washer--  Bearing Replacement:  If I Can Do It, You Can, Too.
I have a Whirlpool WFW9200SQ02 front load washer. It is a few years old, but like new, except for failure of the seal and bearings.  It would have been a real shame to scrap this great washer because repair by Whirlpool would have been too expensive .  Fortunately, exact-fit and high quality bearings are readily available from "Front Load Bearings".  High quality replacement parts, speedy delivery, excellent installation videos, and prompt customer service is available for any questions!  A small investment in quality replacement bearings and seal resulted in saving the washer.  The excellent, detailed videos by Front Load Bearings focus on getting the separating the basket from the drum and then installing the rear and front bearings and the seal.  Many other internet available videos are available for washer cabinet disassembly depending on model. but the sixteen short videos on each step of bearing replacement are essential.  I chose to do the extra steps to remove the front and rear panels, door, control panel, and counterweights for easy access.  This makes it a one-person job.  If I can do it--  most anyone can.  A project that really paid off.
