Removing the Tub Ring
NOTE: Due to the increase in size and depth of the tub ring, the working
space between the tub ring and side panel is very limited.
1. Locate the eight (8) tub ring clips as shown in below figure. Unclip each
clip with a "stubby" flat blade screwdriver.
2. Lift the left-rear suspension rod and disconnect it from the rear brace.
This will allow more room to access the two (2) clips as shown in
figure 3 that located on both sides of the bleach well. Remove tub ring
from washer.
