I would not otherwise have known how to remove the spanner nut and inner basket. I took my 26+ year-old machine apart to scrub out all the soap scum and mildew that was getting pretty smelly. So far everything is working well after the reassembly! Thanks APP!

Just took mine apart and was amazed at how much debris was on the bottom of the plastic tub and lining the outside of the stainless steel tub. My washer was intermittenlty over filling and finding nothing wrong with the hose or the pressure switch, I decided to take the tubs out and clean them. Back together now and no sign of fill problem (yet). Do be careful with the plastic tub. I managed to put a 3 inch hole in the side with a the edge of a wooden scrub brush. Granted I was outside in 32 degree weather, but it seems as though the plastic had become brittle over time. Fixed hole this way. Rough sand, acetone clean, 4 layers of fiberglass soaked in epoxy resin. Two inside and two outside. Did it in two batches one after the other. Cured it overnight and fix is solid.

Good video now we have a clean, stink free washer in our rental unit. I did not have and could not readily find a spanner so in the end I bought a cheap 14" pipe wrench ($12.00) and cut the handle to 8 1/2 " so it would fit in the tub then it worked well for removing the nut. Anything less than 14" would not open wide enough to span the nut. Thanks

This is a great video, clear an concise. I have a question, I cleaned the entire machine because of smell when emptying. I unclipped and removed the tub cover, and the tub has a hollow ring mounted on top of it. When I removed this ring to clean it I noticed it had a liquid in it, possibly water, but could not find any holes for the water to enter or escape. My question is; is this ring supposed to have water in it? And, If not, can I drill a hole to let water out, then reseal the hole? The machine now vibrates in the spin cycle. Thanking you in advance for your reply.

You may find you can fix the crack I would try, first cleaning the area thoroughly and lastly with rubbing alcohol. Then using super glue in and around the crack and then sprinkling with bakng soda on both sides around the wetted crack area Repeat wetting the crack area outline with super glue and then sprinkle with baking soda till you build up some on both sides. This super glue reacts to the baking soda making a very hard plastic repair. I don't know why it was so unbalanced Check the top ring is suppose to have a liquid in it to help reduce unbalancing issues. Take care

what direction are the threads right or left hand
@appliancepartspros7 жыл бұрын
If you are referring to the spanner nut, it is standard threads counter clockwise to remove!
@r1robeson7 жыл бұрын
Um, beg to differ, standard threads are counter-clockwise to remove and yes they are standard threads.

Can you advise how to get the inner tub off of a corroded shaft without breaking something?
@appliancepartspros7 жыл бұрын
Tap the center shaft of the inner tub with a rubber mallet to help break it free, rock the inner tub back and forth then tun the tub and rock it back and forth again. It may take a while but the inner tub should come free so you can lift it out.

Is that a TB123A spanner wrench?

I got the spanner nut off, and the tub cover off but the inner tub would not lift out. Then i read on the top of the inner tub it says non-removable ???. (what ever that means), but again the inner tub won't lift out. What now ?. Is mine some different model ?. (everything else was the same). The clutch is spinning but the shaft is not. the drive block looks ok from the top. Would that indicate a different problem ?, (such as the clutch or a broken shaft, ???).

shirleymae30 Not sure what model you have but I suggest that you post the problem along with the appliance model number on our repair forum and the techs can help you troubleshoot the problem.

The message on the top of the tub actually says, "Plug not removable". This is referring to a nearby plastic Philips screw-in plug that appears to be the fill-hole for the balance ring. We were told a few comments above not to try and remove that fluid. It's needed for balancing the tub. My inner tub was stuck, too. I got it free by giving the top of the grey metal part that the spanner nut screws onto (the drive block, not the shaft) a shot with a hammer while pulling up on the outer drum. (Best done with an assistant!) One or two knocks should do it. Don't damage the threads on the block's outer surface.

My Estate inner tub just won't lift straight up off the drive block. Feels like it's stuck, rusted or something else is holding it down. I've sprayed WD-40 around the edges of the drive block and inner tub hoping to free it loose but nothing still. Any tips? I need to get this off so I can order the outer tub from you ASAP.
@appliancepartspros7 жыл бұрын
Usually when things are stuck like that, the first thing we recommend is a thorough soaking with Rust Buster to dissolve some of the gunk that has it stuck. Then you may need to take something like a rubber mallet to tap it free. .

Spanner nut on my 6 year old machine is really stuck on there. Sprayed it with PB Blaster twice and it hasn't budged. Going to go at it again tomorrow, it's LOUD smacking that with a hammer - like a gong. Don't want to wake the neighbors!
@appliancepartspros9 жыл бұрын
Jennykay85 Yes they do make a lot of noise, hope you are able to get it off! If it is so corroded that you can not get it off you may have to cut it off and replace it and the drive block.

I tried PB Blaster also, let it sit for a few hours ans still no go. Got tired of waiting, so I had to use a propane torch on the outer edges all around the spanner nut to get it to release. I replaced my tub seal a couple years ago and is started leaking again. This time I cleaned the shaft where the inside of the tub seal rests and will be applying silicone rubber sealant in this area also. The rust broke the seal & let the water out between the shaft & inner seal surface. I also used never sieze on the spanner threads when I reassembled to aid in future removal if required.

It appears my drive block is attached to the tub. I also have the lint filter plate uderneath the tub. Do I have to release this to get the tub out?
@appliancepartspros8 жыл бұрын
+Renée Bullen The block is separate from the tub, it could be stuck to the tub from all the build up over the years. Your washer should come apart just like the one in the video. If the filter prevents the block from dropping out you may have to remove it.
