Prevents leaks & major failures: A damaged tub shell often leads to water damage, bearing collapse or drum misalignment—replacing it addresses the root cause.

-
Cost-effective major repair: While this is a major component, replacing the tub shell often extends the life of the washer significantly versus replacing the entire machine.

Compatibility Notes

This assembly fits select front-load washers from Frigidaire/Electrolux brands where part 131525500 (or its equivalents) is specified. applianceparts365.com+1
-
Always verify the washer’s exact model number and serial number, and check the parts diagram for confirmation that 131525500 is the correct outer tub assembly.

If your machine also has damaged bearings, seals or inner drum issues, those should be addressed at the same time (replacing just the tub shell may not fully resolve performance issues).
