Transmission Assembly - ALLIANCE AA9231 Service

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.

44. TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY

a. Remove two screws from bottom edge of front
panel. Refer to Figure 16.
b. Pull bottom of panel away from washer until
hold-down clips (located on top flange of

Refer to Figure 16.

hinge cabinet top or remove. Refer to
Paragraph 35.
d. Loosen hose clamp and disconnect filler hose
from backflow preventer. Refer to Figure 26.
Then remove eight clips holding cover to outer
tub. Refer to Figure 27.
NOTE: When reinstalling filler hose, white line on
hose must be aligned with center line of backflow
preventer. Refer to Figure 26. A 1/8 inch clearance
is necessary to prevent the hose from rubbing on the
flange of the tub cover. Refer to Figure 27. Loosen
hose clamp and move hose to obtain the proper
clearance.
e. Remove cover from outer tub and set off to the
side to avoid damage, then remove old gasket.
NOTE: When installing outer tub cover, always use
a new cover gasket. Lubricate the gasket with liquid
soap to aid in assembly. Cover must be placed on
outer tub so notch on top edge of outer tub cover is
directly over left front clip hole in tub. Refer to
Figure 27. Starting with this hole, place each spring
clip in its respective hole and snap in place. Refer to
Figure 27 for proper clip installation.
f. Remove four screws and washers holding
washtub to hub. Refer to Figure 28.
IMPORTANT: Porcelain Washtub Models — Use
care when tightening screws to avoid chipping
porcelain on washtub.

WARNING
h. Remove drive bell. Refer to Paragraph 26,
steps "a" through "k".
i. Remove hex nut using No. 306P4 Hex Wrench.
j. Remove hub from splines on transmission tube.
NOTE: It may be necessary to use a gear puller to
remove hub.
k. Remove the old water seal from the outer tub.
IMPORTANT: Use care when removing old seal so
as not to damage tub flange or porcelain.
NOTE: When reinstalling or replacing outer tub,
we recommend installing a new No. 495P3 Hub and
Seal Kit. Refer to Paragraph 39.
l. Reach in through front of motor mounting
bracket and move idler lever to the left to
release tension on belt.
IMPORTANT: Use care when releasing the idler
lever tension. If the idler spring or helper spring is
overstretched, washer operation will be affected.
m. While holding idler lever, reach in and around
right side of motor and run belt off right side of
large drive 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 and helper
spring are left hooked to motor mounting bracket.
With idler spring and helper 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 could be damaged (bent), or idler
pulley could be chipped. A bent idler lever will
cause misalignment of idler pulley with the drive
belt, and a chipped idler pulley will damage belt.
We recommend that before removing or reinstalling
the complete assembly, you unhook idler spring and
helper spring and move idler lever out of the way.
This will prevent the possibility of idler lever or
pulley damage.
