tub resins
tub resins
All washers starting with index __/04 have new resin tubs, front
and rear, with a translucent beige-tan color compared to older
blue-white tubs. To avoid leaking, tubs
must
have the same
resin front and rear, whether older blue-white tubs or new
beige-tan tubs – front/rear tub resin types cannot be mixed.
NOTE: You can see your fingers through new resin tubs
