outer tub.
16.Turn outer tub upright and remove pressure bulb and
grommet.
17.Reverse procedure to reassemble.
NOTE: When installing grommet into outer tub, thicker

Drive Pulley, Helix and Brake
1. Remove outer tub, see Outer Tub” procedure,
steps 1 through 11.
2. Remove screw, washer and helix securing drive
pulley to input shaft and transmission assembly.
NOTE: On tall tub models, the weldment assembly
must be removed or loosened and raised
enough to get pulley off and on the input shaft.
3. Lift drive pulley up and off input shaft of transmission
assembly.
NOTE: When reinstalling pulley, place a small amount
of No. 03200P Lubricant on top side of the drive
pulley that will be contacting large flat washers.
Lubricate helix ramps and bore with a small
amount of No. 03200P Lubricant.
DO NOT OVER LUBRICATE! Excess lubricant
can be thrown into pivot dome area during
normal washer operation. Any lubricant on pivot
dome, base or friction ring will affect washer
operation. This condition will persist until
lubricant is removed.
4. Remove bolts securing brake pads and brake
assembly to weldment assembly. Remove brake
assembly and pads off bottom of weldment
assembly.
NOTE: When reinstalling brake assembly, replace all
three brake pads. DO NOT replace worn pads
only. Apply a small amount of No. 26594P
Silicone Lubricant to both sides of each brake
pad where it will contact brake assembly.
DO NOT OVER LUBRICATE! Excess lubricant
can be thrown into pivot dome area during
normal washer operation. Any lubricant on pivot
dome, base or friction ring will affect washer
operation. This condition will persist until
lubricant is removed.
5. After brake is installed, put washer through the
following check to verify brake is operating properly.
a. Turn off electrical power to washer.
b. Turn drive pulley one complete revolution in
agitation directly, then push drive pulley up
against brake.
c. Check for a .030 (.76 mm) minimum gap between
drive pulley and helix ramp surfaces.
NOTE: If gap is less than .030 (.76 mm), brake may not
stop washtub from spinning in required seven
seconds because brake will not close properly.
d. Turn on electrical power to washer and start
washer in the final spin operation.
NOTE: After installing complete tub module in washer
and all hoses have been reconnected, add at
least one quart of water to washtub to lubricate
pump seals. Running a pump without water
will ruin the seals.
After washtub has been spinning for two
minutes, normal spin speed should be
427 ± 25 RPM SLOW speed and 640 ± 25 RPM
FAST speed on one and two speed models; or
473 ± 25 RPM on SLOW speed and
710 ± 25 RPM on FAST speed on some two
speed models and all three speed models.
Three speed models never spin on the lowest
speeds. If not, the cause could be dragging
brake pads. If problems occur with steps (c) or
(d), remove brake assembly and correct
problem.
