Do-It-Yourself Story

I changed basket seals and bearing and belts. I had to use penetrating oil and a heat gun to get the sleave off the transmission shaft. Make sure you wear mechanics gloves when removing panels and tub and basket. I used a little gasket cement to hold the blue fiber washers onto the tub supports. When I ran in the seals there was a little noise and hot rubber smell but I did two loads of laundry and all went well. The agitator seemed to move better and the spin cycle remove much more water than in the recent past. My clothes dried in about half the time.
