Frequently Asked Questions
•What type of grease is recommended for replacing the drum bearings?
A high-quality, waterproof, high-temperature bearing grease is recommended. Specifically, a lithium-based grease with a high dropping point is suitable. Check the parts diagram for OEM grease.
•What is the best way to remove the inner tub without damaging it?
Use a tub removal tool, if available. Otherwise, carefully use a rubber mallet to tap around the agitator or impeller shaft. Apply penetrating oil around the shaft to help loosen it. Be patient and avoid excessive force, as the tub can crack.
•How do I access the motor bearings to check and replace them?
Accessing the motor bearings typically involves removing the entire motor assembly from the washer. The motor may need to be disassembled to access the bearings. Use a bearing separator or press to remove the old bearings and install the new ones. Ensure the bearings are properly seated.
