Frequently Asked Questions
•How do I remove the inner drum to inspect the spider?
First, you will need to disconnect the water supply and drain hoses. Then, remove the agitator or impeller (depending on your model). Next, use a spanner wrench to loosen the tub nut. Finally, carefully lift the inner drum out of the outer tub.
•What type of grease should I use for replacing the drum bearings?
Use a high-quality, waterproof bearing grease specifically designed for washing machine applications. Avoid using general-purpose grease, as it may not provide sufficient lubrication or protection against water damage.
•How do I know if the shock absorbers are bad?
Bad shock absorbers will often show signs of leakage, be physically damaged, or have excessive play. You can also test them by pushing down on the washer tub. If it bounces excessively or takes a long time to stabilize, the shock absorbers likely need replacement.
