Can someone identify this brass washer/bearing “doo-hickey”?

It’s from an eBay listing that’s $25, and I don’t feel like paying $25 for this little homemade kit that’s probably $2 to make. He mentions in the description that it’s a “micro high-speed bearing”, but that doesn’t come up in a Google search.

The nylon washers are obvious.

If you only need one just go ahead and pay it if it's going to remedy the issue.

You would have to know the ID, OD, thickness and style to match it up. You can spend hours chasing it down cheaper, it may be less stress to bite the bullet and order it.

It’s for a the suction motor in a Roomba. If it’s something I can find in Lowes, it would be a no-brainer. I can take the motor inside and fit it to the shaft while in the store.

Looks like a thrust ball bearing washer assembly common in some appliances

Youre not going to find that part at Lowe's or Home Depot. I worked there for 6.5 yrs. Either contact Roomba for a parts guide to find the replacement part or sack up and pay the man $25.

In that case try ralph's electronics. they're pretty good at finding obscure things - if they can be found

It’s a homemade “upgrade” kit to help combat the Error 26 (air flow issue). It helps reduce friction with the blower fan and the housing.

Google the parts manual for the washing machine. Eventually you will find a match and will be able to order what you need.
