Inner Tub Removal; Seal Leaks - Maytag LAT2300 Service Manual

Seal Leaks
Water leaks from the center shaft seal
or boot seal can be detected by looking
under the outer tub with a flashlight.
When looking under the outer tub you
will be able to see the bottom of the tub
bearing and the bottom of the tub
bearing sleeve where it sits on top of
the transmission.
If the water is coming from the slots in
the tub bearing, suspect a boot seal
leak.
If the water is comi ng out underneath
the bearing sleeve and down onto the
transmission, suspect a center shaft
seal leak or mounting stem screw leak.
