As I've been finding out, the bearings on my model washer ( Kenmore Elite HE3 110.45972401) don't last long and the replacement option is expensive; ie replacing the rear drum half and the basket, so I bought a new GE washer for about the same as the parts for the Kenmore. Now that I've made the wife happy I finally got to working on the broken one; I hate to see all those other good parts go to waste. I got the smaller of the two bearings out but had to cut the outer race of the larger (broken) one and break it into several pieces. Does anyone have any idea what the exact bearing size for this larger bearing is? OD, ID, thickness? I hoped to just replace the bearings and the steel basket (shaft is grooved up from bearing exploding) and resell or give it to my thrifty parents. I can get pretty close measurements with some caliper work but want to be as exact as possible. Sears has not been of any use to me; (bought the new washer from a local outfit). Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,

You can Just take the bearings and go a local bearing supply company in your area and see if they can match those up.
