This video helped me to accomplish replacing the bearing in the assembly so thanks for that! I didn't have a press, but managed to knock the old bearing out with a hammer, and tap the new one in place with a 2.5 lb hammer and punch, being careful to line the punch up with the center race and alternate sides. Took about 20 minutes or so but carefully seated it fully.

I replaced my GE washing machine transmission a few years ago. I used a new tub seal. My plastic water tub was not perfect and the seal did not seat properly, it leaked. there was no way for me to know this when i replaced it. the seal leaked and dumped a bunch of water onto my brand new transmission. the bearing is noisy now. the solution to prevent a water leak was to use permatex when installing the new bearing seal and let it cure before using the washer. i put permatex into the seal opening, some around the seal itself, then seated the seal. after i used permatex no more water leaking. if you want to be absolutely sure, do this. i tried caulking the first time and it just dissolved.

It's not a snap ring, it's actually a spiral ring, like what you use on your house keys, (except it's flat - not roundish like a key ring), and all you gotta do is find the opening and spiral it apart and out. You can easily remove it and reuse it, there's no reason to break it or destroy it.

Will this bearing work for MOD# WBSR3140D5WW

where did you get the snap ring and or part number

is there a way you can send the videos that you were trying to play but was jumpy
