DISASSEMBLY and REPAIR, continued
TUB and DRUM
Removing the tub/drum assembly is major
surgery. It is much lighter if you remove
the weights and the motor. Generally
speaking, you’ll have to remove all that
anyway.
Remove the motor. (See page 49.)
Drain the water from the sump.
Remove the control panel. (See page 40.)
Remove the front cabinet. (See page 43.)
Disconnect all hoses and electrical
connections.
Separate the three dampers. (See page
51.) You can remove just one end now
and the other end after the drum
is out of the machine.
Pry apart the spring retainer clip.
Carefully lift the tub up off the springs
and remove it from the machine.
Unbolt the bolts around the
circumference of the seam. (top photo)
Separate the halves. Be careful to avoid
damaging the gasket. Do not pry on the
surfaces between the halves.
Instead of replacing the bearings, we
recommend purchasing the back half of
the tub with the bearings and seal already
pressed in at the factory.
