Available from Appliance Kingdom with fast, Canada-wide shipping, this part is a trusted solution for resolving water leaks and tub-related performance issues.

If your washer is leaking from underneath or around the tub shaft, replacing this component is one of the most common and effective repairs.

Function & Importance of the Washer Tub Seal

The tub seal is a critical internal component located around the drive shaft at the bottom of the washer tub. Its primary function is to:

• Prevent water from leaking out of the tub during wash and spin cycles

• Protect internal components such as bearings and the drive system

• Maintain proper pressure and water containment within the washer

When this seal is intact, your washer operates efficiently and safely. However, once it begins to wear or degrade, water can escape into the lower cabinet—potentially causing damage to bearings, motor components, and surrounding flooring.

Using a Genuine OEM seal like WG04F06281 is essential because precise fit and material quality are critical for maintaining a watertight seal under constant motion and pressure.

Common Symptoms of a Faulty Tub Seal

A worn or damaged tub seal often leads to noticeable performance issues. You may need this replacement part if your washer shows:

• Water leaking from the bottom of the machine

• Puddles forming underneath after cycles

• Unusual noises during spin cycles (due to water-damaged bearings)

• Washer shaking or vibrating excessively

• Reduced washing performance due to internal water loss

Will replacing this part fix your issue?
If the leak originates from the tub shaft area or beneath the washer, replacing the tub seal is often the correct and necessary fix.
