Special Instructions Water Leak Around Pulley On
Tub Bottom
Water leaking around the pulley on the bottom of the tub,
check the following:
1. Remove the Transmission. The Transmission should
be approx. 1/3 full of oil. The oil in the Transmission
should be thick, similar to a high viscosity motor oil.
Tip the Transmission slightly, the oil should move
slowly. If the Transmission is nearly full or if the fluid
is very thin and moves quickly, the Transmission has
water in it. Replace the Transmission, O-Ring,
Spinner Support, Tub Seal and Outer Tub.
2. If no water is inside the Transmission, check the
integrity of the O-Ring. Look for signs of water or rust
on and around the Input Shaft. If the O-Ring is bad
or there are signs of water or rust around the input
shaft, replace the spinner support, tub seal and the
outer tub.
3. If there was no water in the Transmission or around
the top of the Input Shaft, it is likely the water was
leaking through the Tub Seal. Replace the Outer Tub
and Tub Seal. Inspect the Spinner Support for
damage around the Tub Seal area. Replace the
Spinner Support if it is damaged.
4. The Clutch Assembly should be inspected for signs
of water or oil contamination. Clean Clutch Assembly
as needed. Replace Clutch Assembly when water or
oil contaminates the roller clutches.
Note: Oil in a new Transmission is clear. During
operation, the oil will turn a dark color caused by the
special compounds in some of the bushings.
