Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Water leaking from the washer during or after a cycle.
• Visible cracking or damage to the outer tub when inspected.
• Water tracks or moisture around the outer-tub area after a leak event.

Check Before Replacing

• Unplug the washer and shut off its water supply before inspecting the tub area.
• Inspect accessible outer-tub surfaces for cracks, damage, or water tracks; do not assume the tub is the leak source without confirming the leak location.
• Inspect the outer-tub drain-hole/port area and connected hoses for obvious leakage or damage, since connected components can also leak.
• If the tub is removed for inspection, check that the drive block is not damaged before reusing it.
