Each spoke of the spider was broken, which made the drum rub up against the tub causing it to get “sliced” open. I replaced the tub as well as the spider and seal. One thing I was not ready for was both the tub and seal had hose fittings at the bottom. I did not buy a hose, but instead “plugged” them both up getting a little creative. If I went towards using the hose, I would’ve had to make an additional purchase of the hose (with clamps) plus I would’ve had to purchase a new tub weight (bottom) because it needed to be slotted to accommodate the hose. Otherwise, everything worked out well. If it weren’t for the video tutorials, I wouldn’t of attempted to do my own repair, so being able to watch the video not only assisted me in doing the repair, it made sense for me to purchase the parts from you guys!
