Description
This tub seal keeps the washer tub sealed at the transmission, preventing water from leaking into the cabinet and onto the floor. Replacing a worn seal restores proper sealing at the tub/transmission junction. What it does:
- Seals the gap between the washer tub and transmission to stop water leaks beneath the washer.
- Helps prevent transmission contamination from water and debris that can cause premature wear.
- Common symptom: water pooling under the machine or on the floor during or after a wash cycle.
- Common symptom: visible oil or wetness under the cabinet near the transmission area.
What's included: One tub seal. Install notes:
- Disconnect power and turn off water supply before starting any repair.
- Drain the washer and remove necessary components (basket, agitator, or access panels) to reach the tub/transmission junction.
- Inspect surrounding components (gaskets, bearings, hub) for damage and replace as needed to ensure a lasting repair.
