Kevin July 09, 2014 for Model Number ALW880QAW First of all the washer is leaking water onto the floor. Seems to happen mainly during the spin cycle. It appears water is dripping from the tub onto the transmission below. Do you think this the seal kit would work or do you think its a bearing problem? Also I can not remove the lock nut over the transmission shaft. There is a washer on top that spins around but it appears too small to go over the fins on the shaft. Also the spline insert seems to block the nut as well. I can not figure out how to remove it?
1 Answer Kevin, The hub and seal kit would need to be replaced to correct the issue and it is best to replace the bearing at the same time. The reason is the bearing will start making noise from the unit leaking. To remove the nut you would remove the spline insert and then after the nut is loose just pull straight up on it. Read More...
John May 25, 2014 for Model Number ALW880QAW Serial #S0011237867 There seems to be two different tub seals and 2 different bearings for this model. It has the plastic outer tub. Can you tell me which seal kit to buy and which transmission this unit has? Thank you.
Greg May 15, 2014 for Model Number Amana ALW880QAW My machine has been very loud on the spin cycle. It sounds like a helicopter is landing. Can you tell me which part I need to replace? Thank you.
1 Answer Hello Greg. If the noise is a bearing noise, you will need to order and replace the hub and seal kit R9900457 on the unit. Read More...
Henry January 23, 2014 for Model Number Amana LDW washer I broke the shoulder bolt on the transmission spindle while removing the hub. Am I "screwed"? If I can get an EZ-out bit on it to remove the remnant, is it RH or LH threaded?
1 Answer Henry, No, you shouldn't be "screwed" . If it's the shoulder bolt that holds the tub to the hub, you don't have to remove it, it will come out when you remove the hub assembly. Yes the bolts and screws on this product are all "standard" right hand threaded screws and bolts. Read More...
Modoc January 22, 2014 for Model Number ALW480DAW/PALW480DAW My Amana washer has decided to give me some problems at this time. The original belt broke the first week of December 2013. I ordered the belt and put it on and nearly four weeks later this belt broke, so I got another one. I put it on today and upon start-up there was a little bit of a squeak, so I took it apart again and removed the idler pulley and removed the axle shaft (?). Cleaned it and grease it with silicone and reassembled everything. The squeak noise was not heard upon start-up. NOW, what is happening is the machine sounds like a 747 taking off as it roars, rumbles, etc. I am assuming that the Assembly -- Main Bearing needs to be replaced? If I replace this main bearing what else should I think about replacing while I have this machine tore down or will just replacing the main bearing take care of things? Thank you for your assistance! MoDoc
1 Answer Modoc, With the bearing needing to be replaced you would want to replace the hub and seal kit R9900457 and the main bearing WP40004201P. Read More...

Rick February 14, 2013 for Model Number ALW880QAW Bearing is loud and tub is leaking at the bearing. I think I need part #'s PS2040726 bearing & PS2174555 Drive belt seal kit. I am confused by the serial # mine is 12491872AP is that the right seal kit?
Joe M December 17, 2012 for Model Number ALW480daw I need to change the bearing (40004201P. Would id be necessary to also change the rest of the components with R9900457? Is their a seal in the kit that is 40015401 or do I need to order that one also?
1 Answer Hello Joe, The R9900457 hub and seal kit will have all the necessary components to change out the tub seal. The bearing is a separate part from the kit but would be a good idea to install new hub and seal kit along with the bearing WP40004201P. Read More...
Darryl October 12, 2012 for Model Number Amana ALW430RAW How do I get the aluminum hub off the transmission shaft? Have removed the locking nut and spline insert but cannot get the hub off that the lint filter bolts too. It is frozen in place, tried vineger and heat but it will not budge. Prying does not help. appears to be a metal washer on top the aluminum mount plate.
1 Answer Hello Darryl. You may need to use a cold chisel and cut the hub R9900457 off the shaft if it is stuck on there. Be careful not to damage the transmission or damage the tub. Read More...
