I need to replace the bearing in my Amana model # ALW880QAW1, top loader commercial capacity. Could someone please let me know what is the tool I need to remove the bearing as well as the seal and then if I need a tool to place it back on.
There is a sad history of bearing failures with these Amana plastic tub washers.
Once the seal and bearing fails, new bearing and seal replacement does not last that long!
At $125 for a bearing/seal kit, use of a rented bearing puller, and a lot of labor, it makes sense to put the money toward a new washer.
You have a plastic outer tub AP4048569 A few people that used this site did this job and regret it and probably want to forget it@#*.
Have looked at pictures showing a badly rusted hub that looked like it was impossible to pull it off with a gear puller.
Maybe they will respond with better info.
You can go to web site %url% for specific info.
Thank you for the help. Don’t know what picture you were looking at. I never posted a pic.
The picture I was referring to was from a past response.I am hoping someone will respond that has done this before.
