Do-It-Yourself Story

I first ordered the balance ring and watched the video then disassembled the washer to replace the ring, in the process noting the inner tub wasn't centered, it could be lifted up and you could hear metal grating. When I took the outer shell apart and lifted the tub out I saw the spider as it's called had detierated to the point where it broke. the motor shaft wasn't connected to the tub. I ordered the drive assembly and a seal. Now it runs like it did when it was new. The video was very helpful. My machine was different than the one in the video but came apart the same way.
