Whirlpool Lip Seal Kit 12002022 OEM Part

Whirlpool encompasses a diverse portfolio of brands such as Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Moreover, Whirlpool produces components for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea appliances. The Lip Seal Kit, an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) component, is specifically crafted for Whirlpool washing machines. This kit includes new seals that effectively encircle the tub opening to prevent water leakage.

Common signs of worn lip seals include:

- Water seeping around the washer's opening or tub area
- Water accumulation beneath the unit after use
- Noticeable wear, such as cracks or splits, in the seals

Seal deterioration generally occurs due to routine operation and friction with the tub surface. Additionally, mineral deposits may shorten seal longevity if not cleaned regularly.

The lip seal kit offers a comprehensive package featuring an updated lip seal, grease, an O-ring, a tool for seal installation, a washer kit, and a detailed set of instructions. It is important to note that rear bearings are excluded from this kit; these are available separately, with part numbers WP22003441 and WP22002934.

This OEM part from Whirlpool fits washing machine models from brands including Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and certain Kenmore models.

Replacing this component generally alleviates problems related to excessive operational noise.
