Eric for Model Number WTW6200SW3 I've pressed the bearings in, all seemed to go smoothly. However, the shaft doesn't seem to go low enough. I've pressed the bearings several times and I still do not have enough threads on the bottom of the machine to put the shaft nut on properly with threads showing after it's tight. This is also witnessed by the drive hub/driven hub not sitting low enough to sit flush against the tub when re-assembled. I have confirmed that the collar on the shaft is sitting flush against the top bearing. Is my spacer potentially offset causing the top bearing to not seat fully? The bottom bearing seems to be seated appropriately.
Answer Eric, the top bearing should be recessed into the tub which would allow the driveshaft to seat down fully for the threads to be exposed. If the top bearing is not recessed down, it is possible that the bearing sat crooked into the tub and would need to be corrected. Read More...
