g WARNING
To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, explosion, serious injury or death:
• Disconnect electric power to the washer before servicing.
• Never start the washer with any guards/panels removed.
• Whenever ground wires are removed during servicing, these ground wires must be
reconnected to ensure that the washer is properly grounded.
IMPORTANT: Before setting washtub into place,
make sure holes in hub assembly are aligned with
holes in gasket.
n. Secure washtub to hub assembly using four
cap screws and four gaskets from 27202P
Screw and Gasket Kit, (supplied in kit).
o. Install supplied outer tub cover gasket and
outer tub cover, paragraph 21.
IMPORTANT: When installing outer tub cover
always use a new outer tub cover gasket.
p. Install drive bell and seal, paragraph 18.
q. Reinstall agitator.
r. Reinstall cabinet top and front panel.
s. Close loading door, set washer timer to final
spin, start washer and allow empty washtub to
spin for 30 to 60 seconds.
IMPORTANT: Setting washer to spin allows
petroleum jelly (applied to bronze portion of water
seal) a chance to cover seal surface before water
is added to washer.
23. OUTER TUB ASSEMBLY
a. Remove hub and seal kit, paragraph 22.
NOTE: When reinstalling or replacing outer tub,
always install a new No. 495P3A Hub and Seal Kit,
paragraph 22.
b. Reach in through front of motor mounting
bracket and move idler lever to left to
release tension on belt.
IMPORTANT: Use care when releasing idler lever
tension. If idler lever spring is overstretched,
washer operation will be affected.
c. While holding idler lever, reach in and around
right side of motor and run belt off right side of
pulley.
IMPORTANT: When removing or reinstalling
complete outer tub into washer (with
transmission, balance ring and pivot dome
attached), damage could occur to idler lever if
idler spring is left hooked to motor mounting
bracket.

CENTERING
SPRING
With idler spring hooked to motor mounting
bracket, idler lever extends out through rear of
bracket. When removing or reinstalling complete
tub assembly, idler lever is in the way and can be
damaged (bent), or idler pulley could be chipped.
A bent idler lever will cause misalignment of idler
pulley with drive belt, and a chipped idler pulley
will damage belt.
We recommend that before removing or
reinstalling the complete tub assembly, you
unhook the idler spring and move the idler lever
out of the way. This will prevent the possibility of
idler lever or pulley damage.
d. Using No. 289P4 Spring Hook Tool, unhook
seven centering springs from lower edge of
outer tub skirt, Figure 40.
IMPORTANT: When installing centering springs,
make sure spring hook is fully seated in hole in
tub skirt. Mark the word "FRONT" on front side of
outer tub so complete tub module can be
reinstalled in same position.
