Reassembly
Step 1: When installing new bearings into a bearing housing, first press the
front (large) bearing into the housing until it bottoms. With the bearing
spacer in place, press the rear bearing in until the spacer is snug
between the two bearings. Be sure and reinstall the retaining ring in
front of the front bearing (see picture).
Step 2:
The tub back assembly should be reattached to the bearing housing
with the 6 mounting bolts and torqued according to the torque chart.
NOTE: The bead of silicone that seals each bolt to the tub
back. This must be cleaned and replaced upon reassembly
(see picture).
If the 6 support assemblies have been removed from the bearing
housing, the 6 rear bearing housing bolts should be torqued according
to the chart also.
Step 3: The primary and secondary seals that mount on the sealing ring may
be slid over the shaft and seated on the metal sealing ring. In the
unlikely event that the metal ring that mounts these sealing rings
were to be damaged or moved, a new one would need to be pressed
on the ring must be pushed against the stop on the shaft. Before
installing the new sealing ring, a bead of silicone should be put on
the basket shaft (see picture). After installing the seals, lubricate the
faces of the seals with silicone grease (see picture).
Removal
Step 1: Remove the drive belt as explained in previous instructions.
Step 2:
Remove the tension spring and bracket.
Step 3:
Disconnect the motor wires in the control area at the top of the machine. The motor wire retaining
clamp should be removed and reused. There is a diagram showing where each motor wire plugs
in so there is no need to mark them.
Step 4: Loosen the set screws on the motor support shaft.
Step 5: Remove the retaining bolt from the front of the support shaft.
Step 6: Remove the motor support shaft.
Step 7: Lift motor out of machine. NOTE: On larger washers it is advisable to put a board under the
motor and slide it out rather than lifting it.
