207843 - Genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Lip Seal Kit
The 207843 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Lip Seal Kit is a critical internal sealing component designed for Whirlpool washing machines and compatible brands. As a genuine OEM part, it is manufactured to exact factory specifications, ensuring a precise fit and dependable performance. Available from Appliance Kingdom with fast, Canada-wide shipping, this lip seal kit is a trusted solution for resolving leaks and protecting your washer’s internal components.
This part is commonly used to fix water or oil leakage issues originating from the washer’s transmission or gearcase area—one of the most important sealing points in the machine.
Function & Importance of the Lip Seal Kit
The lip seal kit is installed on the lower shaft of the washer’s transmission (gearcase). Its primary function is to:
-
Create a watertight and oil-tight seal between the tub and transmission shaft
-
Prevent water from leaking out during wash and spin cycles
-
Stop gearcase oil from escaping, which could damage internal parts
A properly functioning seal is essential for maintaining washer efficiency and preventing costly internal damage. Over time, seals can degrade due to wear, detergent exposure, and constant movement, making OEM-quality replacement crucial.
Common Symptoms of a Faulty Lip Seal
If your washing machine shows any of the following issues, replacing the 207843 lip seal kit may resolve the problem:
-
Water leaking from the bottom of the washer
-
Visible oil residue or grease underneath the machine
-
Washer not washing properly due to internal contamination
-
Unusual noises or vibration caused by lubrication loss
-
Signs of moisture damage near the transmission area
Will replacing this part fix your issue?
If the leak is coming from the center bottom of the washer (near the transmission shaft), a worn lip seal is a common cause—and replacing it is often the correct fix.
