Whirlpool WP8181673 Tub Gasket OEM Part

I removed the drum, split it in half and replaced the bearings, seal and tub o-ring. Whirlpool did not offer the bearings without purchasing the back half of the tub for $350.00. I purchased a kit with a new seal for $75.00 and replaced them myself.

Replace outer tub and door handle

I first watched the video showing me how to replace the tub seal. This probably covers everything you need to know about taking apart and putting together this unit. Completely disassembled the washer and power washed the back of the basket around the spider. There was light corrosion on the spider. Cleaned the tub and installed new gasket. Replaced tub to pump hose and discharge hose. Replaced the bellow tub seal and installed new spring. Replaced dispenser to tub hose. Cleaned ventilation pipe and exhaust hose. Cleaned drain hose connector.

Ordered parts from AppliancePartsPros.com then repaired washer by watching utube video.

Thanks to you guys and you tube I fixed it myself again. You guys are a god sent. I have been keeping my 18 year old washer and dryer running thanks to you.
