General Electric Washing Machine Leaking Water - The Tub Seal

[@pltmann]

I followed this process for my GE washer . The biggest struggle was getting it apart . The wash machine is 15 years old . The tub seal wasn't leaking , but nut was mostly gone ( worn away ) and was really dirty . I knew it was a matter of time so I took it all apart and cleaned everything and installed new tub seal using shellac on the outside of the seal . Let it dry a few hours before using . Not leaking a drop . After all that work I know it will be a lot easier to take apart in the future if I ever need to replace the transmission . I especially like the tip of using a small piece of wood to set the seal insuring the seal is set square in tub base . Better plan on a new nut and split ring . Mine both broke taking it apart . Both very soft material.

I wish i watched this before putting my washer back together! I installed new tub bearing and tub seal, but my tub seal doesn't want to sit down all the way! Ikeeps popping back p a tiny bit. So i put a thin coat of RTV silicone around it. Hope this will do the trick 🙏

How long should the Shellac be allowed to dry before using the washer?

[@sterlynali6679]

Hi there, my glwn5050mows ge washer leaks on the bottom when filling. What part do I need to replace? Thanks.

[@theapplianceman]

You will need to remove the front panel and put the washer to fill to see where is the water leaking from

[@larrydodrill]

Between the tube seal and the square washer going on the shaft is it normal for a 1/4" or so gap?

[@theapplianceman]

I can't tell for sure I have not seen one of those in a long time. The purpose of the seal is to prevent water from leaking out of the tub
