This is an advanced repair — if you're not comfortable disassembling the entire tub assembly, consider hiring a professional. Before starting, watch a model-specific video tutorial to understand the full process. When removing bearings, use a proper bearing puller or press to avoid damaging the tub housing. Always replace BOTH bearings and the seal together — if one bearing is bad, the other is likely worn too, and a new seal prevents future water intrusion. Apply the included seal lubricant to ensure a watertight fit. After reassembly, check for leaks during the first wash cycle before pushing the washer back into position.
