Section 5 Service Procedures
To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, explosion, serious injury or death:
• Disconnect electric power to the washer before servicing.
• Never start the washer with any guards/panels removed.
• Whenever ground wires are removed during servicing, these ground wires must be
reconnected to ensure that the washer is properly grounded.

k. Remove large hex nut using No. 306P4 Hex
Wrench. Then remove spline insert from
transmission tube.
IMPORTANT: Use a new spline insert each time the
hex nut is removed. DO NOT reuse the old insert as
hex nut may loosen during the washer operation.
l. Remove hub from splines on transmission tube.
NOTE: It may be necessary to use a gear puller to
remove hub.
m. Remove old water seal from outer tub.
IMPORTANT: Use care when removing old seal so
as not to damage tub flange or porcelain.
NOTE: When reinstalling or replacing outer tub,
always install a new No. 495P3A Hub and Seal Kit.
Refer to Paragraph 38.
n. Reach in through front of motor mounting
bracket and move idler lever to left to release
tension on belt.
IMPORTANT: Use care when releasing idler lever
tension. If idler lever spring is overstretched,
washer operation will be affected.
o. While holding idler lever, reach in and around
right side of motor and run belt off right side of
pulley.
IMPORTANT: When removing or reinstalling
complete outer tub into washer (with transmission,
balance ring and pivot dome attached), damage
could occur to idler lever if idler spring is left
hooked to motor mounting bracket.
With idler spring hooked to motor mounting
bracket, idler lever extends out through rear of
bracket. When removing or reinstalling complete
tub assembly, idler lever is in the way and can be
damaged (bent), or idler pulley could be chipped. A
bent idler lever will cause misalignment of idler
pulley with drive belt, and a chipped idler pulley
will damage belt.
We recommend that before removing or reinstalling
the complete tub assembly, you unhook idler spring
and move idler lever out of the way. This will
prevent the possibility of idler lever or pulley
damage.
p. Using No. 321P4 Spring Hook Tool, unhook
seven centering springs from lower edge of
outer tub. Refer to Figure 39.
IMPORTANT: When installing centering springs,
make sure spring hook is fully seated in hole in tub
skirt. Mark the word “FRONT” on front side of
outer tub so complete tub module can be reinstalled
in same position.
