Kenmore / Sears Washer Tub Or Basket

Ordered the parts from AppliancePartsPros - super fast shipping, and even though I opted for regular shipping all of my parts arrived the very next day, including the big and bulky inner basket. Disassembly went smoothly, simply following the directions in the AppliancePartsPros video. The only problem I had was that the inner basket simply would NOT come of the drive block no matter what I did. Struggled for a few hours trying to take it off. Then, I called AppliancePartsPros and they said it... Read more

Replaced the Inner Tub Basket. We watched the video, ordered the parts, and swapped out the basket in a breeze. We were very surprised, and pleased, with how easy the repair was. This saved me labor costs not having to hire a repairman, and, worst case scenario, saved me from having to buy a new washing machine. Read more

Replaced outer tub assembly shell. AppliancePartsPros Video was outstanding and easy to follow. Removed outer shell prior to ordering replacement. Took about 2-3 hours off and on (ie. washer and dryer were stacked and I was working in a confined space). A lot of time was spent in cleaning up the washer, spyder etc. prior to installation. Washer originally purched December 1997 so it had accumulated lots of dust, dirt, lint. Ordered shell Jan 9th 5:27AM and received it Jan 10th 2:30PM. (For... Read more

The main problem was fixing the inner tub. The "Spider Assembly" is attached with six screws, but the manufacture does not supply this as an individual part. This is good since the manufacture has a lifetime warranty in the inner tub. The manufacture supplied the inner tub. I purchased the outer front tub from Appliance Parts Pro. A fair price and excellent delivery time provided me with a quick up and run time to complete this repair. Read more

This repair went exactly as the video described. The video made it unbelievably easy. Took about 2.5 hours only because I scrubbed and cleaned all hoses and pars in and out. Our washer is 12 years old and had some build up. Seriously don't shy away, this was $250 with a new belt. Compared to a new front loader $1200-$1500, repairs the way to go. My only scare or concern was that the inner basket spider was rotten (galvanic corrosion (dissimilar metals) however it was just dirty. Tips 1. The... Read more

Posted my problem on APP's Question and Answer Forum. Was concerned about liquid trapped in top and bottom plastic rings of SS laundry basket when I removed it. Was advised by APP's tech service this was normal and is added during manufacturing to add weight to improve efficiency of spin cycle. I purchased and replaced the outer tub with a new shaft, bearings and seal already assembled (about the same price as purchasing shaft/bearing/seal assembly and installation tool without the tub). Whole... Read more

This was the 2nd time my husband and I had to replace the bearings in just over a year. This time we decided to replace the spider because of the corrosion on the shaft which goes through the water seal. I believe we had the corrosion on the last repair but wasn't informed enough to realize to check for this. Again the job took us days, it's a straight forward job but there are times you have problems, such as pounding the shaft out of the bearings. We had to soak overnight and still had to... Read more

Order a new tub and replaced. The machine was in some kind of accident and brand new, so the repair was simple. Had to tear the machine completely apart and reassemble. Tested machine and worked perfectly. Thanks for your prompt service and quick delivery of the part. Read more
