Wvrog for Model Number WJRR4170E1WW Does the split ring support and rub against the inner tub and does it need lubricating like the tub bearing?
Answer WV, No, Do Not lubricate the split ring WH02X10265 but make sure the "hub washer" WH2X1199 is in place first(under the split ring) so it seals properly. You do have the right idea, the split ring does support the tub/hub assembly, and as you tighten the hub nut, all three components compress together in order to drive the tub. Thanks Read More...
