⚙️ About these part numbers. These are the OEM part numbers for the Maytag MHW5630HW at the time of writing. Manufacturers supersede part numbers over time, and some parts split by serial-number range — the same model built two years apart can take a different pump. Always check the number against the full model and serial number on your machine’s tag before you order, and buy from a supplier who accepts returns on the wrong part. Not sure? A local appliance repair pro will confirm the right part in a two-minute phone call — and often has it on the van.

Tech notes

Parts cross with Whirlpool WFW models — the badge premium doesn’t follow it into the parts catalog. Note on bearings: Whirlpool does not sell a rear bearing and seal kit for this platform — the bearing is pressed into the outer tub and is serviced only as a complete outer tub assembly, which is why a bearing quote here is so much higher than on a machine with a serviceable kit. Legacy Duet bearing kits sold online fit older platforms and will not fit this one.
