As an alternative to the previous steps, the
belt, motor, splutch, shifter and
capacitor may also be removed along with
the gearcase as outlined below:
1. Unplug washer or disconnect power.
2. Turn off the water supply to the washer.
3. Remove the basket. See the section
removing the impeller and basket.
4. Use cardboard or padding to lay washer
on the front cabinet.
5. Unplug the harness from the motor,
shifter and capacitor.
6. Remove the four mounting bolts and pull
the gearcase out of the tub.
NOTE: The tub and gearcase has 8
mounting holes. Only 4 are used.
If they strip out during reassembly,
the other holes can be used to
re-mount the gearcase.
