My washer has a leak at the lip seal and is very loud during spin cycle. Do I need a new outer tub assy kit to fix the problem? I believe the bearings are either bad or gone.
Thanks ,
Tina
Tina,
Just replace your bearings with the bearing and seal kit from [MAYTAG NEPTUNE WASHER R11 Q6 REPAIR KIT + 12002535 WAX MOTOR](http://www.neptunebearing.com/"]NEPTUNE BEARING[/URL]. You also get an ebook that has tips for removing the failed bearings and inserting the new ones. You can expect this job to take 2 - 6 hours depending on your tools and machanical ability. There is an easier way… the site mentioned above offers a special tool kit rental that includes the bearings and 12002022 seal kit and it also includes a 14 minutes DVD that shows you how to disassemble the stand alone front loader, replace bearings and install the seal kit. Some folks have stated the DVD is the best tool in the box…
Also, don’t forget to replace your door latch wax motor… See [URL="http://www.neptunehelpsong.com/) for a funny song that explains the faulty door latch wax motor issue. Keep in mind that if you have an earlier MAH3000, you have (3) of those darlings you should proactively replace.
