Thanks for an excellent video!! My washer is older and came with a house and thus I don't know the age. The bolts were corroded enough they didn't even pretend to budge and both snapped off. You can replace them with any 5/16 X 1-1/2 bolt. (I probably would use grade 5) I was able to get the broken stubs out of the block. My tub was then frozen fast to the transmission shaft. The comment was made in the video that you might have to take the plastic part of the tub off with those 5 bolts in the bottom. Before you try that, find a pipe that just fits over the transmission shaft and is longer. The best way to free up the tub is to hit straight down on the pipe. Don't go more than a quarter inch or so, but definitely tapping straight down is the best way to free it up. The seals underneath are designed such that they can compress. I wouldn't squash the new seal, but the old one is getting replaced anyway, and it doesn't hurt anything.
You're welcome! And thank you for that tip. We always appreciate hearing additional ways to do the repairs, in case someone is having difficulty with the method shown in the video.
@@mikefabrizio you have to use heat with precaution from damaging surrounding plastic parts or penetrating oil "not as effective". also you can cut slot in it and use flat end screw driver.
To everyone who owns the same washer or similar washers with numerous models/brands but similar design (they apply to stackable and single washers), please read this. If you experience the washer is still leaking after doing this procedure, please check that the seal snaps and clicks into place because I had done the same procedure and the seal fits loosely into the housing and not clicking into place but rather sitting loose, it may be that these machines built in previous years the housing is much more bigger in diameter and probably newer ones have a smaller diameter, maybe there was some error in manufacturing or some small defect but it took me weeks to notice before getting the tub seal that is seen in this video. This was done in my GE space maker (WSM2700HBWW) stackable washer and dryer. It is recommended to get a new outer tub along with a seal so that it will snap into place. Machines/brands do vary and years may also vary. I hope this helps everyone.
Excellent step by step video. One of the bolts snapped and I replaced with a stainless. I also had some surface rust and imperfections on the shaft that I smoothed down with a scotch guard pad.
Excellent instructions, worked very well for me. As mentioned by other users, I had to twist the bowl in order to get it out as there was some rust and gunk on the shaft. We also had a lot of gunk sitting on the bolts but the metal brush did the trick and after some gentle knocks with the hammer all around, both bolts came out without any problems. Instructions as to remove the seal and replace it were spot on as well and worked exactly as described. First wash is done and no leaking!!!
I just had to go through the pain of trying to separate the tub and i spent 3 days of trying literally everything. At a moment of desperation, i poured hot water on the trunnion and down the shaft and within minutes it loosened up and i was able to shake it loose. I’m guessing the hot water melted the stuck on fabric softener and detergent.
This was the advice I needed. The tub was still stuck after soaking in penetrating oil and cleaning as much gunk and rust off the shaft as possible. Hot water made all the difference.
One thing you have to do is a thorough inspection of the shaft and seal mating surface. If there's any rust or putting the seal will never make a good seal, and over time the imperfections will grind down on the seal causing a leak again. With that said, I couldn't get my seal to work with the instructions shown here. It kept leaking like there was a big hole in the rubber, even worse than old one. There would be a gallon of water on the floor by the time the tub finished filling. It was so bad. The leak on the new seal came mostly between the brass plate and spring loaded seal that goes into the tub. Since there is nothing connecting the two pieces that's where all the leaks came from. What I ended up doing is installing it with the rubber washer and brass piece upside down. I took the three pieces (brass ring, washer, and removable upper part of the tub seal) and assembled them outside. The upper tub seal has an indentation that is exactly the size of the washer, and the rubber washer fits perfectly sandwiched between the upper seal and brass ring. It's like it belonged there Then I applied lube and slid the 3 pieces together all the way down and compressed the spring slightly, mating all the pieces. Then I installed the hub and trunion plates only without the tub onto the shaft. This makes the trunion plate so much easier to install. The hub slightly compresses on the spring to make contact and the constant spring force keeps everything sealed up. Once I had the hub and trunion all locked down, then I replaced the tub and 5 bolts. Hope this helps someone. It took at least 5 tries doing it the way shown on this video before finding my solution. It's been at least 30 cycles through testing and no leaks so far.
I tried this and it worked very well. Thanks for giving me the confidence to try this myself. I was thrilled. $30 was way better than $130 to get someone to look. I am a TH-camr myself. Check it out.
I just did this on my washer about 10 plus years old. It took little over 2 hours due to how rusted the bolts have become. I had to spray pb blaster and let soak. then tap with hammer for while to lossen shaft moving the tub back and forth until it started to move. adding more bp and cleaning up lose rust. until It slowly came off shaft. I cleaned all bolts and lighty sanded shaft to remove some of the rust. I think letting soak and tapping around shaft and collar were the most helpful in breaking it loose. Hard job due to rust but ran it and no leaking. other part was cleaning tub was surprised how much dirt and debri was in bottom of tank.
Thank you very much for this video. It's really a great time and money saver, not to mention the pride and joy I got when I received a ton of praise from the family. Thanks again.

I tried this and it worked perfectly. Thanks for giving me the confidence to try this myself. I was thrilled. $26 was way better than $90 to get someone to look!
Does the smaller ruuber seal will go inside the brass seal? Or just on top. Cause our smaller seal its hard to fit in that brass seal completely. Hope your reply soon. Thank you.
So I’m still leaking after this so I’m wondering if I should have used grease instead of detergent for seal lubrication like the video indicates. Nightmare for sure.
Buen video, una consulta....dentro del agitador hay un anillo plastico agarrado con 4 dientes, al sacar el agitador se rompieron estos dientes....ese anillo es importante para que el agitador se mantenga en su posicion, o solo con el tornillo de arriba que sujeta el agitador puede funcionar?...gracias de antemano (la lavadora es igual a la del video)
Tried it but Trunnion part number 131545101 wont come out as easy as it look. had to cut it in pieces and hammer it out the wash basket it is much harder than it look on 15 year old washer with lot of junk stuck in it. also it would be good idea to replace the belt while you are at it because of the water damage it and you won't need to open it again.
I have a washer/dryer frigidair unit, my washer tub seal is leaking, I have a top load washer, is there anyway to replace this part without taking off the dryer? Taking off the dryer requires a lot of work ,
I have a Frigidaire model number MLTU12GGAWB but can't find the replacement tub seal. I would appreciate if you could tell me which tub seal would work for this model. Thanks
Very nice video thanks for taking time out to make this video, I have often came across some toughys, it nice to know it can be done once you know the trick!
Just replaced mine. Went Very slow spent time making sure I put tub seal back together without damaging and in correct orientation as shown in this video. Water is now pouring out even more than before. I see it sealing out from underneath where the transmission shaft enters the tub. Not sure what’s wrong. Tearing it back apart now :(
This is the best video I've found but I still need help. Matt says they had to remove the 5 bolts to remove the plastic part of the tub but they don't show it. I removed the 5 bolts but nothing is budging anywhere. Scott Stoller says in his reply to fit a pipe over the shaft but I am unclear as to what he means. I've been trying to fix my laundry center washer for a week now. Can anyone help me get this *%#@#$ tub out?

Great instruction on the mechanics aspect of this job however... it bothers me that you lacked in the cleaning process of the tub and basket and left a lot of debris in there. Also that attaching block that fits into the slot on the shaft looked very corroded. That should have been replaced and the two bolts should have been cleaned with a wire brush. I would never allow myself to be content with my workmanship without doing the (entire) job the best that I could.
hi i did it replace the thing everything went trough like in the video BUT I broke one of the screws so I end it up replacing the trunniun .. NOW .. I still have the noise went the washer machine spin from the bearings so should I put some grease ?? .. because I guess the water and overtime took all the oil out of there ..?? thanks

+Michael Ciha Sorry Micheal, your link had to be removed. They went to a whirlpool washer manual which would not be the correct one. A 417 model is made by Frigidaire, the same maker of the washer in this video. We are always making new videos and we may add a stack unit in the future. Hope the video helped you out!
+AppliancePartsPros I learned that the link was for a model that was not compatible instruction-wise when I went to take mine apart. Wish it was like the one that was in the link. I might actually have this done by now.
Its interesting how the lower tub seal and the upper bushing / seal are not connected in any way, yet prevents water from seeping between the two pieces. I was skeptical when I put the washer back together, but no leaks.
Sin saber lo que tiene, sugeriría publicar el problema junto con el número de modelo del dispositivo en nuestro foro de reparación y los técnicos pueden ayudarle a solucionar el problema. Http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/
I'm still trying to get the tub out of my washer. I have my car jack bolted to the center of the agitator post with metal clamped to it to lift the tub from the sides. It is stilll not budging! I took out the 5 bolts at the bottom of the tub. Has anyone else not been able to get it out?

You can try a some heat just be careful you do not damage any of the plastic. If the hub is too badly damaged then you may have to cut it off and replace it.
Thanks, no replacement available, too late used jack broke upper plastic ring, no other option. What in hell kind of fluid was in it, oily crap all over.
My transmission shaft had some really nasty sections of rust. I don't think it's worth replacing it but I'd like to clean it up as much as possible. Do you have any suggestions about how to clean it up, and in which order? Steel wool, sandpaper, sprays?
You could start by soaking it with something like Rust Buster www.appliancepartspros.com/pro-rust-buster-tj93241-ap5638848.html Generously coat it, and then let the penetrating oil soak in.
I am currently at the 5:37 mark on the time. And man, that tub is on there! I'm letting the rust eater set awhile longer... it sounds like there is water in iit when I shake the tub to break it loose??
Okay... I got the new seal in and it still leaks, so either I didn't get it seated right or it's leaking from somewhere else. I'm going to sleep on it and hit again tomorrow. Thank you for the video, everything came out and went in just like you said, the problem was on my end. So... I may comment again tomorrow. Thank you for the info.
@@thshoop hey TH-cam stranger from 2 years ago. Did you ever get yours to stop leaking with the new seal? Just replaced mine and it's leaking worse. Assembled exactly as the video showed. Had a hell of a time with the rusted shaft, too. About ready to give up:/

This video series is much appreciated by those of us inclined to do our own repairs. Thank you for the series. What do you do if the agitator will not come off? After taking the bolt out, mine will only lift about 3 cm (about 1.125 inches), then it is solid and will not lift up any further. I have tried penetrating oil around the spline area, and in the bolt hole, but nothing seems to be loosening up. Any useful info would be greatly appreciated. One note to those using penetrating oil, be careful not to get it into the clutch rollers as it will make them slip. I packed the area with a rag to stop this from happening again after a drop got onto one of the rollers and caused clutch to start slipping. It worked it's way out thankfully. Thanks, - Tim -
After the bolts and the trunnion block are removed, the inner tub can be lifted out. It may be stuck to the shaft pretty tight due to the soap and corrosion over the years of use. You can try soaking it with penetrating oil and letting it sit for a while. Afterwards, you can use a small screw driver to try to chisel anything out and flex it loose. Grab the agitator shaft and rock it back and forth to try to loosen it.
So you were able to get the bolts and the trunnion block off, but now the hub is stuck to the shaft, correct? Those are notorious for getting stuck. Really clean that whole area, then thoroughly soak everything in rust buster and let it set for a while so it has time to penetrate: www.appliancepartspros.com/pro-rust-buster-tj93241-ap5638848.html Do that a couple of times to see if it will loosen it. Try to use a small screw driver to chisel out any build up. Flex it and rock it back and forth to try to break it free. If that doesn't work, you can remove the five bolts around the shaft that hold the tub to the trunnion/hub. Once you remove the inner tub, that may give you more room to work to be able to free the trunnion from the shaft. Worst case scenario is that it's stuck so badly, you have to chisel off the old trunnion to get it off and buy a replacement.
Thanks for an excellent video!! My washer is older and came with a house and thus I don't know the age. The bolts were corroded enough they didn't even pretend to budge and both snapped off.

Cómo cambio el sello superior tienes un video de eso? how to change the upper seal do you have a video of how to do it please
Excellent step by step video. One of the bolts snapped and I replaced with a stainless. I also had some surface rust and imperfections on the shaft that I smoothed down with a scotch guard pad.
I had a bolt snap too. 😧. Ended up just cutting the whole trunnion off and buying a new one. Still cheaper than a new washer though. 😉
Excellent instructions, worked very well for me. As mentioned by other users, I had to twist the bowl in order to get it out as there was some rust and gunk on the shaft.

The BEST video I’ve seen yet. Literally step by step he doesn’t fast fwd ANY steps. Awesome. Thanks.
I just had to go through the pain of trying to separate the tub and i spent 3 days of trying literally everything. At a moment of desperation, i poured hot water on the trunnion and down the shaft and within minutes it loosened up and i was able to shake it loose. I’m guessing the hot water melted the stuck on fabric softener and detergent.

Looks easy:) my hub is corroded and not sold separately any longer. Can heat be used? Mine is ge and all metal about 12" in diam.
You can try a some heat just be careful you do not damage any of the plastic. If the hub is too badly damaged then you may have to cut it off and replace it.
Thanks, no replacement available, too late used jack broke upper plastic ring, no other option. What in hell kind of fluid was in it, oily crap all over.
Probably the balance ring it is liquid filled to offset the tub. If it cracked you would have to replace it.
My transmission shaft had some really nasty sections of rust. I don't think it's worth replacing it but I'd like to clean it up as much as possible. Do you have any suggestions about how to clean it up, and in which order? Steel wool, sandpaper, sprays?
You could start by soaking it with something like Rust Buster www.appliancepartspros.com/pro-rust-buster-tj93241-ap5638848.html Generously coat it, and then let the penetrating oil soak in.
Thanks. I'll give it a try while I wait for the parts.
Mine still leaks just like before. Wonder what is the deal pitted shaft too suspect this doesn’t help matters. It’s only money and time.
I am currently at the 5:37 mark on the time. And man, that tub is on there! I'm letting the rust eater set awhile longer... it sounds like there is water in iit when I shake the tub to break it loose??
I know you don't set around and monitor the comments on your TH-cam channel, just had to comment. LOL
Okay... I got the new seal in and it still leaks, so either I didn't get it seated right or it's leaking from somewhere else. I'm going to sleep on it and hit again tomorrow. Thank you for the video, everything came out and went in just like you said, the problem was on my end. So... I may comment again tomorrow. Thank you for the info.
@@thshoop hey TH-cam stranger from 2 years ago. Did you ever get yours to stop leaking with the new seal? Just replaced mine and it's leaking worse. Assembled exactly as the video showed. Had a hell of a time with the rusted shaft, too. About ready to give up:/
Amazing dude. I bought an Electrolux Top 8 which was in fact a Frigidaire. LOL Tnx a lot.
You're welcome, glad the video helped you out. And yeah, a lot of brands are manufactured by parent brands.
I had a great opportunity to learn with this video. I was wondering if you have done anyone replacing the internal transmission bearings? Tnx again.
Excellent well done very professional...
These kits come with a felt washer that you soak with oil. Now where does that go in all of this?
This is a rubber seal, you do not have to soak it in oil.
sounds like you may have the wrong part. I know what you are talking about but this model does not use that
how do you replace dog agits on this model
We'd be happy to help you figure that out, but we'll need some additional information about the model and the problem. You can give us a call at 1-877-477-7278 or you can chat us at our website: www.appliancepartspros.com/. We will need the model number for the appliance, so that we can look up diagrams and information about your specific unit to give you accurate advice.

Thank you nice work and hair
You're welcome! And thanks :)
Before I remove everything I have an WeshingtonHouse would the seal be in the same place
Without a model number it would be hard to say. You can go to our website and enter your appliance model number to view the parts breakdowns to be sure you get the correct part for your model and see where they go. www.appliancepartspros.com/
The model number is wws833es1
Your model number is different than the one we used in the video but it uses the same tub seal so the video should help out a lot!
Thanks for the video. It helped me save hundreds of dollars.
+Carlos berrios Awesome glad you saved some money and got the washer fixed!
excelente vídeo muito bom
Obrigado! Estamos felizes por ter ajudado.
спасибо за помощь
thanks for the help
You're welcome.
Thanks.
You're welcome!
Thanks man this is awesome.
Glad the video helped you out!
Is this the same fix if oil is leaking into the drum while washing??? I have a Fridgidaire GLWS1649AS4
what happens if you get screw stuck while taken them off the block
the head just snapped off one screw
This video series is much appreciated by those of us inclined to do our own repairs. Thank you for the series.
What do you do if the agitator will not come off? After taking the bolt out, mine will only lift about 3 cm (about 1.125 inches), then it is solid and will not lift up any further. I have tried penetrating oil around the spline area, and in the bolt hole, but nothing seems to be loosening up.
Any useful info would be greatly appreciated.
One note to those using penetrating oil, be careful not to get it into the clutch rollers as it will make them slip. I packed the area with a rag to stop this from happening again after a drop got onto one of the rollers and caused clutch to start slipping. It worked it's way out thankfully.
Thanks,

just order that part thank you .. it was very helpful
Glad the video helped you out and thanks for the order!
When you said you lifted the hub off the shaft without the tub on , how did you do that?
theres alot missing on this video.
After the bolts and the trunnion block are removed, the inner tub can be lifted out. It may be stuck to the shaft pretty tight due to the soap and corrosion over the years of use. You can try soaking it with penetrating oil and letting it sit for a while. Afterwards, you can use a small screw driver to try to chisel anything out and flex it loose. Grab the agitator shaft and rock it back and forth to try to loosen it.
Which step is it where you're running into trouble?
So you were able to get the bolts and the trunnion block off, but now the hub is stuck to the shaft, correct? Those are notorious for getting stuck. Really clean that whole area, then thoroughly soak everything in rust buster and let it set for a while so it has time to penetrate: www.appliancepartspros.com/pro-rust-buster-tj93241-ap5638848.html Do that a couple of times to see if it will loosen it. Try to use a small screw driver to chisel out any build up. Flex it and rock it back and forth to try to break it free.
If that doesn't work, you can remove the five bolts around the shaft that hold the tub to the trunnion/hub. Once you remove the inner tub, that may give you more room to work to be able to free the trunnion from the shaft.
Worst case scenario is that it's stuck so badly, you have to chisel off the old trunnion to get it off and buy a replacement.
Have you thoroughly soaked everything in rust buster yet?
