Remove A Pedestal - Maytag 30 Series Service Manual

n nOTe: When reinstalling the bellow it is
important to position the weep holes at the
bottom center of the cabinet opening.
n Removal of the front weights will make it
much easier to reinstall the bellow.
If there is a complaint that water rolls out the
n
door when the clothes are removed from the
washer, adjust the front leveling legs slightly
lower to raise the front of the washer up
slightly and allow pooled water to flow back
into the washer.
Weep Holes
n If reinstalling the tub into the washer,
reinstalling the bellow on the outer tub is
done before reinstalling the front weights.
When reinstalling the bellow clamps, make
n
sure the bellow is not twisted, causing it to
distort, which may cause vibrations in spin.
