Thanks for the video! After watching it, we took two of these transmissions apart, and replaced their bearings. Part number 6006-2RS 1(2 Rubber Seals) for our application. They are only press fitted. We do not believe they ever had any adhesive. They are certainly NOT "welded" except by rust You can DIY by first cleaning and sanding the shaft above the bearing. Once its CLEAN, use a light oil, like 3 in 1 (WD-40 is a rust inhibitor) Walking first the flange, followed by the bearing via small hammer blows with a small flat chisel or large screwdriver; keep rotating the shaft so as to drive the flange and or bearing as straight as possible to avoid binding. Don't be afraid to hit it, after all if you don't succeed it's going to the recycle center! Keep in mind, any dirt / rust will keep you from extracting the bearing and flange. You only need to save and reuse the flat metal flange. So, feel free to cut the old bearing off with a grinder, Dremel or even a hacksaw. As simple as the construction of this junk seems, make sure you photograph the position of the flange/bearing, so as to insert the new bearing down to the correct position. Also make sure to Mark how low on the shaft it seats. An easy way to drive the new bearing / flange straight, is to get a scrap piece of steel tubing only slightly larger than the shaft diameter, and use it, and your trusty hammer to drive the new bearing, and the flange into position. Easy! Even if you buy a piece of tubing at i.e. the Depot, it's still cheaper than a new transmission. Good Luck! The only parts not repairable are the plastic planetary gears in the plastic case, as I could not find replacements. If anyone can find these parts, please let us know. We did service them by replacing the oil in the cup, and resealing with silicone gasket maker.

Thank you. You saved me from thinking I could fix it. Had a customer bring in the identical machine. It was leaking water from the tub seal. Unfortunately she let it go for a long time. That was the original complaint. When I ran the machine prior to tear down, the transmission was making a racket. When I pulled the agitator off, I noticed side to side, up and down movement. When I flipped it over to remove the transmission I wanted to cry. The screws were frozen on the shifter, the connections were all full of green and brown corrosion. I finally got the trans out and turned the shaft. It was like it was jumping gears. Very sad how poorly this stuff is made. Needless to say, she gave me the machine for parts because the cost was prohibitive. Thanks again for a great presentation. Keep them coming.

So many people went to frontloaders. But, they get moldy, don't clean well and take over an hour to wash a load.

You have to sand the shaft and remove the race and the bearing together from the long side. Where the bearing sits is hatched and can't go futher down the shaft when replacing. Some machine shops have a tall bearing press that can take it out, I on the other hand put the shaft loosely in a vice and put a block of wood on the other side of the shaft and tap out the bearing and race. To replace, tap the bearing and then the race with a pipe slightly bigger than the shaft. Should be noted though that what can cause the bearing to go bad in the first place is a leaking tub seal, which should be replaced as well.
@alchemy12 жыл бұрын
Take a dremel with a metal cutting blade and go around the top edge of the race (as that is where it is pressed in) about 1/4 of an inch or less and cut it. Then make a verticle cut, grab a chisel and snap it out. Then you can place two angle irons parallel to each other and place the bearing on it. With the angle iron secured on a plateform so it won't move. Grab a 2x4 and place it on the tube/shaft and hit it with a hammer. The 2x4 protects that rubbe seal up there plus protects the shaft. Out will come the bearing and the race. However, at times the bearing gets rusted in their big time. In tha case you simply resort to the same technic as the scoring the race. You don't have to cut off the outer collar of the bearing but simply score it good with the dremel. Two of them, one half way opposite the other. Grab a hammer and hit it, being hardened metal, it will break and snap out. You can see the videos of people doing this on youtube when a bearing doesn't want to come out. Then you simply remove the ball bearings and do the same with the inside collar, it is where the rested frozen part is. With that part you simply use a chisel after you score it. Either it will break or it will turn and then you can walk it out with a channel lock. Tub seal part number ( w10324647 w10006371 Ap4567772) Size of bearing (30x55x13) Race replacement ( 1 1/4 chrome pipe extension at your plumbing store. Drain pipe for the sink). The shortest one will make 5 to 6 of them. They are rust free and exact size. Cut them about 1-1 1/8" inch long. File the cut edge if the seal goes over it although it won't matter. The edge should stick out off the seal and the seal goes over and on its smooth surface. The purpose of the race is not to keep the bearing in place but to accomodate the rubber seal. You can clean where it goes with rubbing alcohol and then put some crazy glue for extra goodness, although not needed before pushing the new homemade race in place. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eK99p5OIrNPbqIU.html

@@barrylink6378 Ideally you would want to cut the chrome pipe with a plumbing pipe cutter. Why?] Because a pipe cutter's blade going round and round the chrome pipe causes the that cutting lip sort cone shaped if you know what I mean. So, when you feed the chrome pipe, you feed the non-cut straight side first and the cut cone shapped facing up. The cone end as you can picture goes tightly over the shaft. Well, what you certainly can do now is to fill it with Loctite glue gel. If that is where it is leaking from. The gel is thick and not watery which is what is needed. That should fix the issue.

@TheNYgolfer Жыл бұрын
I replaced the upper bearing about 2 years ago. The tranny I did was from a model washer that had a wash plate instead of an agitator so the transmission output shaft was shorter than the one in this video, so I was able to pull the bearing using a long jaw puller I had. Here are some key points if you are looking to do this job. 1. You MUST disassemble the gear box and take out the solid agitator shaft. If you try to pull the upper bearing off with a puller, with the gear box fully assembled, the puller will drive the agitator shaft down an possibly right through the bottom of the plastic gear box housing. It will then be time to punch out and go home..lol 2. Once you have done step 1, you MUST put a mark on the outer, hollow shaft, to mark where the bottom of the bearing is located so that you can place the new bearing in the same spot on the shaft. There is no "stop" on the shaft so you won't know where to place the new bearing unless you mark the shaft. I used a hacksaw blade to score a light mark below the bearing. 3.You MUST remove all the rust and any other imperfections on the shaft, so that nothing will restrict the removal of the old bearing when you pull it off. 4. The sleeve he is pointing to here 6:12 , often has a groove worn into it by the tub seal. The seal then leaks water into the bearing. That is the reason you are here. If your sleeve has no groove, consider yourself lucky and clean the sleeve with some Scotch Brite. If your sleeve has a groove worn into it then don't even think about sanding the groove out. You will sand off so much of the sleeve metal that the new seal will not have a tight fit, not to mention that the sanding and polishing process would have to be done perfectly or you will have a leak again in no time. Just Clean the sleeve with Scotch Brite and count on having another leak again down the road 5. When you pull the old bearing off the shaft, the sleeve above it will come along also. That brings up the question of how did I reinstall the sleeve. 6. After I installed the new bearing, I heated the sleeve with a torch. That expanded the sleeve and it slid onto the shaft easily. Once it cooled, it shrunk to a very tight fit. 7. I used 1/4 inch aluminum blind rivets from harbor freight to put the 2 outer halves of the transmission housing back together. So when you drill out the original solid rivets use a 1/4 inch drill bit, or a bit size equal to whatever size screws you will be using, if you don't use rivets. It's critical that the 2 halves line up as they originally did so use common sense before you haphazardly start drilling out the original rivets. Finally, If you don't have a puller with jaws long enough to pull the old bearing off, you could use a Dremel tool with a cutting wheel to cut the old bearing off. The sleeve above the bearing will make that a little tricky. To prevent cutting into the sleeve I would try to heat the sleeve and remove it, before cutting the bearing. Again , make sure you remove any rust on the shaft that will prevent the sleeve from coming off. PS- After drilling out the rivets on the housing, you will find it very difficult, if not impossible , to separate the upper housing half from the bearing. I heated the lip on the housing then used 2 screw drivers, 180 degrees apart on the housing , to pry the two housing halves apart. The lower bearing replacement should be easily accomplished using the info I just provided for the upper bearing so I won't go into that. This post is long enough already. I've never seen the lower bearing go bad btw. GOOD LUCK!!

But that is not big deal, you drill a couple of hole with a drill bit. That solves that. Just need 2 hole or even one hole is good enough. Okay I will start from where you lift off. Clean off the rust with a sand paper, clean it good, on that metal tube that the bearing and the bearing sleeve is on it. Then just spray some lubricant on the tube. Place the bearing above the jaw of a vise or whatever and hit the top of the metal tube with a hammer by placing a 2x4 in between. The race/sleave and the bearing will come out, no problem. The sleeve is not welded or glues or anything. It is pressed in at its top edge. If you look close you can see it. I have repaired at least dozen of these. Clean the housing and install the new bearing ( 30x55x13mm, you can get them anywhere). Pounce the bearing until it seats. It will seat half way up, It won't go all the way to the top, so don't dry it. Here is the seal: (Washing machine tub seal w10324647 w10006371 Ap4567772) Now comes the creative part. How are you going to install the sleeve and where would you get them? Aha. Ready? They are 1 1/4" diameter, brass or some sort of rust resistent metal. So this is what you do. You go the plumbing joint and buy a chrom pipe extension. They are located at the sink drain section. They are exact same size and the exact right wall thickness and no rest. One extension is enough pipe to repair 5-10 usage. You cut it to size, about 1 1/4 long. Before you feed it in place, clean where it goes with rubber alcohol or so and put crazy super glue there. feed the new cut pip in place there and leave it for about an hour. It won't go no where.Make sure the pip is long enough but not too long (otherwise it will interfere with the basket) because the rubber seal goes around that sleeve. Your transmission will purr like a kittten. Cheers.

@@brucestevenson6085 It is difficult to video tape it while actually working at it, being one person. I don't know why I left this crucial detail out. There are times that the bearing is rusted good and it is pretty difficult to take it out using the method I have described. Since nobody cares about the sleave or the bearing, use a dremel with cut off wheel and simply score the sleave vertically. Score it enough so you can use a chisel and a hammer and hit it and it will open up and give. You can then just slide up and remove it, using a channel lock or whatever. Comes the bearing that is stuck on stupid and rusted good. No problem. Take the dremel with the metal cut off blade and score the outer part of the bearing. Score it at two parts, 180 degrees, one opposite the other. Bearings are hardened metal. So once scored good, take a hammer and smack on it good and the bearing outer collar just snaps and falls out. You can see videos of these on KZfaq how stubborn bearings are removed. The littler ball bearings justt comes off of course. Now the inner part is what is stuck on the transmission tube. Same deal with that, score it like you did with outter collar. Except you can't hit it with a hammer. Use a chisel and a hammer. Just place the chisel on the score line and hit it. If it doesen't just break and snap out, it will loosen very good. In that case you just take a channel lock or whatever and just walk it up and out. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eK99p5OIrNPbqIU.html

@@brucestevenson6085 You can see this guys work better with a closer view. He just cuts it through. I am a little impatient. Nonetheless the idea is clear. Also the bearing he is cutting seem to be more giving in my perspective. He also didn't cut the inner race at two places for some reason or it would have just snapped out as the outer part. Although I haven't tried it but I can bet that if you heat that outer brass sleave with propane or acytelene torch, it will expand enough where you can just take it out and then reuse it. I am gonna have to try that. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sKt7lZmSxLnYdps.html

@rickeykeeton47702 жыл бұрын
At 6:11 showing the bottom of the bearing and what looks like the top of the piece it looks like it is pressed down to, is a thumbnail like groove. I wonder if you could clean the rust off the shaft then use a straight edge tool to separate the bearing from that piece then work it off. I have a few that need bearings. Don’t think I am going to go through that.

Yeah that was my main take away. It’s just too much trouble even if the top bearing came off easily. If you spend the drum and it makes any type of grinding noise it’s not worth fixing in my opinion.

Do you have any part number(s) for those transmissions? From there we could arrive at a cost. From there, might it be cost effective to repair with upgraded bearings and replace oil with grease. When I need a transmission, I may be willing to pay more for an upgraded rebuilt one.
@WasherDryerMoney3 жыл бұрын
There’s only a few types of those transmissions. The big difference is the shaft in the middle is small for the low profile agitator version. I’m not sure there’s anyone making heavy duty versions of these transmissions. The video I did on removing the bearings from this transmission concluded with me thinking it was way too much trouble to get the top bearing off. Hi have heard there are a few guys that have gotten days off but their opinion was pretty similar to mine it’s a lot of time. You can look up a lot of prices for these transmissions on eBay to give you an idea anywhere from $100-$200.

I believe it’s gear oil, but I’m not 100% sure on that. They’re not really made to be serviceable as I mentioned in the video. GE use grease and I think that’s a better idea because it’s less likely to start leaking and fail compared to any oil.
