Gearcase

well i replaced a lot of parts..but i think it was the the lid switch. but now its brand new..Thanks

Suspected the clutch, but turned out to be worn out nylon gear in the gear case. After compairing the cost of replacing the gear and related pieces a new assembly was more cost effctive.Disconnected the power. Removed the agitator from the main drum. Tilted the washer at a 45 degree angle against the wall to gain access to the pump/motor/gear case Assy. below the drum. Unclipped the pump and pushed to the side. Disconnected the motors electrical connections and removed the three mounting bolts that attach the gear case to the washer and removed the assembly from the washer. Replaced the gear case and reassembled. Unit works perfect.

Slow gear case leak was at the input shaft seal. I followed the gear case video instructions which are quite good. However the video says you can buy the needed spanner for the tub nut here on this site. I sure couldn't find it and had to order from elsewhere. In this case a TB123A fit well. Upon testing I had a noise when the pump was running. I discovered that I missed aligning one pump leg to the recess. After I released the pump clamps, and slightly repositioned and re-clamped it was fine. The upper agitator was replaced due to slight wear on the internal teeth. The original agitator bolt's intrinsic rubber seal (bolt, washer/seal all one piece) was worn so I replaced that too.
