Pam for Model Number A382 When I disassembled my 33 yr old Maytag A382 to change the Lip seal my seal is not plastic it looks like brass. How am I supposed to get this out there is no lip to grab or get under it looks recessed. I search online and the tool is discontinued. I can send a picture.
Answer Pam, If you have the "orbital" type transmission 6-2097750 then your machine has a lower lip seal, Look up part # 207843 on the website and click on the videos.There are options for removal there. You can also get a 1/2 " in galvanised or "black pipe" 3 inch nipple from the local hardware store, and place it over the helical shaft and push it up and screw it into the seal, then use a pair of pliers to pull the seal and nipple out of the transmission housing. If you have the original "flat" type transmission, then there is no lip seal and the transmission will need to be replaced. Thanks, Read More...
