Component Teardown
Reinstalling or Replacing the Bellows:
Using liquid dishwasher soap to lubricate the groove on
the bellows will make it easier to the slip the groove on
the bellows onto the lip of the tub.
1. There is a tab and an arrow on the top of the tub lip,
a slot in the groove and an arrow at the top of the
bellows. (See Figure 4-17)
2. Place the slot over the tab and while holding the
bellows in place with one hand, place the other
hand inside the bellows and force the groove of the
bellows over the lip of the tub with your thumb.
3. Work your way about one third way around the tub,
then pull in on the inside flap of the bellows to seat
the bellows into the lip of the tub.
4. Using your thumb, start on the other side of the top
tab and force the bellows on in the other direction.
Again about one third of the way around stop and
seat the bellows onto the tub lip. Force the remaining
bellows on with your thumb and seat it.
(See Figure 4-18)
5. To install the spring, fold the front of the bellows
back into the tub.
6. Place the spring in the groove at the top of the
bellows and wedge a round object, about 3/4“ in
diameter between the weight ring and the bellows to
hold the spring in the groove. (See Figure 4-19)
7. Pull the spring with one hand while working it into
the grove with the other.
8. Remove the wedge, unfold the bellows, and insert
the advance rinsing technology hose and light
socket.
