John H Cicero , NY March 31, 2022 Appliance: Kenmore Washer 79641073310 Sounded like a freight train when on spin cycle. Replaced the bearings, seal, spider gear, and tub gasket. A little tough getting the spider gear shaft off bearings. Wish I bought the bolts to secure the spider to the tub, had to heat them to get them loose, but all in all, followed the video steps and it went smoothly.

Alejandro H San Antonio , TX January 30, 2022 Appliance: Model LG WM8000HVA Lg washer tub bearings Watched repair/replace videos several times from at least 2 different sources. Made a list of tools needed. Made sure I had enough space to work. Used power washer to thoroughly clean all parts ( this step was not in any videos). I'm older, so my son helped me remove tub and put it back in its place. Really important to make sure all hoses/electrical connections are reinstalled/connected. I also blew out/cleared all hoses, especially the drain hose from the pump since the tub was out and hoses are easily accessible. about 6 hours total. I took my time and did extra stuff. Pre-ordered every part. Will return Spider. OEM in good shape, no cracks. Yeah. I used a small cordless drill that uses hex size bits. Read More...
