Outer Tub Assembly - Haier GE GFW510SCN0 Technical Service Manual

Outer Tub Assembly

The outer tub assembly is constructed in two
halves and contains the wash basket. The
bearing and seal assembly is part of the outer tub
rear half. The outer tub assembly is supported
by two suspension springs and four dampers.
Each spring is located between the top of the tub
assembly and a cabinet top brace, one on each
side. Washer stabilization is achieved by the use
of four dampers that are located between the
bottom of the tub assembly and chassis, two on
each side.
Outer Tub Assembly Removal
Removing the outer tub assembly requires it to be
taken apart while still in the cabinet. This can be
done by following the instructions below.
1. Ensure that the washer is empty using the
drain pump filter. Ensure to have a shallow
pan to catch the excess water.
2. Remove the top cover, control panel, front
panel and back cover (see Top Panel,
Control Panel, Front Panel, and Back
Cover in the Cabinet and Structure section
of this service guide).
3. Remove the drive belt from the motor and
pulley by walking it off of the pulley.
4. Using a 15-mm socket, remove the belt
pulley from the basket shaft on the rear of
the washer. This bolt is torqued to 450-inch
pounds so it will take a little extra force to
remove it.
5. Disconnect the green ground wire from the
tub bearing on the rear tub to the motor
shield, the red and white wires from the
heater, and the thermistor connector.
6. Remover the pressure chamber from the rear
of the tub. Disconnect the pressure hose and

pressure chamber to the tub.
