Removing The Left Hand Air Shock Absorber; Removing The Air Bell - GE WSSH300G Technical Service Manual

Removing the left-hand air shock
absorber:
1. Disconnect the washer from electrical supply.
2. Remove the front and rear access panels.
3. Remove the speed control board assembly.
4. Remove air shock securement pins by depressing
locking tab while pulling pin to remove.
This procedure is much easier if a deep 1/2", 6
point socket (or 13 millimeter, 6 point) is used to
compress the locking tab of the plastic pin. Push
the socket onto the tapered end of the pin as far as
it will go to compress the locking tab.
5. Use pliers to grasp head of pin and pull to
remove. As the pin is removed the socket will
drop free.
6. When replacing the air shock make sure to
position it with the bell end facing downward.

Removing the air bell:

1. Disconnect the washer from the electrical supply
and remove the front access panel.
2. Remove the (2) hoses, one from each end.
3. Release the rivet holding the air bell to the outer
tub.
NOTE: Seal air connecting tube to air bell and air
bell to sump hose using waterproof glue.
