Hermes October 06, 2021 for Model Number WBB2090F1WW Any help on how to remove the hub nut? I bought the wrench but it won't budge, any tips, ideas, advise would be appreciate it. thank you!
1 Answer Hermes, unfortunately, there is not an easier way of removing the tub nut from the standard method of using the tub nut wrench and hammer. It may take a longer amount of time to loosen it up if there is excessive residue seizing the nut in place. Read More...
John July 03, 2021 Do you have a wrench for the tub nut on an LG washer? It will not stay tight when tightened with an adjustable wrench.
1 Answer Hello John, What tool you use is not the factor to be considered. You need to use some blue threadlock like Locktite 242 to prevent it from backing off. Read More...
Monty February 16, 2021 for Model Number WASR3110W The agitator coupler is stuck inside the agitator and the teeth won't allow it to be pulled out. In the diagram there is a nut on top of the agitator coupler, is it possible that my model doesn't have it and I can pull it out straight. If I can't pull the coupler out how do I replace it. Do I have to get the entire assembly.
1 Answer Monty, there are tabs inside the agitator that you should be able to release to get the agitator coupler out. If you are unable to then you would need an agitator and coupler. Also, there should have been a bolt holding the agitator coupler in place and it sounds like it may have broken off. If this has happened then the transmission would need to be replaced. Read More...
Mike January 18, 2021 for Model Number GTWS8650D0WS I'm trying to remove the washer basket to clean the tub. I'm going to purchase a new nut along with tub seal and screw. I have successfully removed the nut with a 1-5/16" Deep socket and removed the angle washer the tub will not separate to pull it out. Do you know if this basket assembly is threaded? All pictures I have seen its not and it should slip off. I tried hammering down on the spindle while pulling with no movement. Any suggestions?
1 Answer Hello Mike, the inner tub is splined to accept the splines on the transmission shaft, the nut secures the inner tub. The inner tub should just pull straight up and off, if not the splines may have corrosion, try using a penetrating oil. Read More...
Darren December 31, 2020 for Model Number GCWN4950DOWS Do you happen to sell a tub nut wrench for a GE washer model GCWN4950DOWS? If not could you tell me what size I should be looking for?
Greg November 01, 2020 for Model Number GTWN4250D1WS Hi, I would like to send a short video, less than 2 minutes showing a new noise that the washer is making. It is no longer a quiet agitation. The best way to describe it would be through the video. But I will try and explain..... when the agitator changes direction, there is now a 1 1/4" slight dead space/ free play in between each direction. So as the agitator starts back in a different direction, you can see it stop moving for a 1/2 to 1 second and then start in the other direction. It also makes a metal to metal sound when it changes direction as if there is now a dead space before it catches and reverses. I removed the drive belt and moved the drive pulley by hand in both directions, THIS IS where the free play and noise are coming from the main shaft area. Bought new in 2013, and gets 2 to 3 loads per week. Probably 800/900 loads since installed. I just need a phone number and name, that would accept this short video unless you can tell me what the issue is in the main shaft components. Does the main bearing have this type of dead space when reversing direction? Thanks in advance.
1 Answer Greg, based on the information provided, the failure would likely be in the drive assembly WH38X10019 or in the pully WH07X10019. It would be recommended that the gear teeth are inspected for broken or excessively worn sections on each side of the shaft assembly as well as on the pulley. Read More...
Tim T April 28, 2020 for Model Number GTWS8350H1WS Sorry to post again, but I could use some help before I call in a repair man to clean up my mess! (I replied to a previous post, but its not visible on the site now). I've removed the hub nut and washer but the inner tub WILL NOT BUDGE. What do I need to do to get the tub out? In this case the Impeller screw broke inside the platform/bearing retainer assembly, so I need to replace that assembly. Thanks for any insight!
1 Answer Tim, It can be difficult to get the inner tub out once the hub nut has been removed. To get this loose try to spray with PB blaster to loosen it up and you will need to rock the tub back and forth to try to get it loose. Read More...
Timt April 24, 2020 for Model Number GTWS8350H1WS Impeller screw broke inside the platform/bearing retainer assembly. Unable to remove the remaining part of the screw, so trying to replace the assembly. Need to remove the hub nut, but it's recessed. Tried a 1-1/4" deep well socket but it was still too short to fit over shaft. Is the 1-5/16 WX05X10022 / WX05X10022 Impact Socket the correct tool for this? As others have indicated, because it's recessed, don't think the spanner will work. This is a 2014 model and have had a devil of a time trying to find anything online about it. Thank you.
1 Answer Tim, Yes, the 1 5/16" socket would be what is needed and it does have reverse threading on it to remove the hub nut. Read More...
Dave April 22, 2020 for Model Number Gtwn8250d0ws I see you keep saying to buy a spanner wrench but for this model the nut is down inside the inner tube so neither wrench can reach it. I will have to use an impact but what size? Wish I could add a picture on this
1 Answer Dave, There is no impact wrench needed for this issue. The spanner wrench WX5X1325 is what you would use and the wrench slides down over the nut and you use a hammer or a 2 to 4 lb sledgehammer to knock the nut loose. Read More...
Stan April 03, 2020 for Model Number GTWS8655D0MC What size socket or spanner wrench needed to remove the hub nut?
