DAMPERS
WM2801H*A
Disconnect the dampers from the tub and
the base.
Be sure to press in the safety tab before
pushing the pin out of the damper. You can
use a socket to hold the tab in while you
squeeze the pin with the special tool
383EER4003A.
(See SPECIAL TOOLS, page 104.)
The flat end of the tool goes on the small
end and the split end allows the head end
to pass through while the pin is pushed
out. Sometimes you can use a socket to
hold the pin down while you press the pin
out.
The color and/or appearance of the
damper may vary by model but the
operation is the same.
Use special tool 383EER4003A to remove
the damper pins. If you are replacing the
dampers, you'll have to remove both ends.
If you are removing the tub for major repair
work, disconnect the damper ends at the
base and leave the other ends connected
until you remove the tub. When putting
the tub back into the machine, connect the
dampers to the tub first. It is much easier
that way.
Be careful not to pull the dampers apart
while they are disconnected. If you break
them, they must be replaced, and they
should be replaced as a set. Notice that all
previous versions of the dampers have
been replaced by the newer, double-acting
dampers.
