Bill R Wister , OK November 23, 2014 Appliance: Maytag Washer- Horizontal Axis MAH4000AWW Maytag Washer Mah4000aww: Sounded like a 747 taking off in my laundry roon. How to replace Washer Lip Seal Kit. Replaced the front and rear bearing and the seal. It took me five hours to do this, now if you take out the smoke and coffee breaks could have done it in a lot less time, overall it was not to difficult but I am also a diesel mechanic so I am used to beating out and replacing bearings plus I worked at Whirlpool for 30 years. The problem I had at first was finding the parts, our local parts house could only get the complete drum assembly.... But then I found your website, Called, ordered parts and got them in two days.... Thank you very much... 93 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 2+ hours
