Upon close inspection, the rubber bellows had a rip large enough for a football to fit through. Model number easily identified the replacement part needed and I ordered it for next day receipt. It was a little tricky getting the bellow installed on the tub, but I finally got it and moved on to attaching the bellow to the front opening. That part was easy but getting the spring stretched to hold the bellow was a challenge. Got it all done and back together. Total project took a "rookie" about 3 hours.
