T. S. for Model Number MAH5500BWW I have replaced both bearings and the lip seal (old style) in my 12 year old Neptune washer. Twice now I have have smoke coming from the inside of the drum after the final spin cycle. Otherwise it works perfectly. Used the old style plastic retaining clip. The drum spins smoothly although the motor is warm to the touch after several loads. The motor has a slight bearing noise. Replaced the drain tube as well. Belt and pulley are fine. Any ideas? Thanks.
