Ok, I've finally decided I can't stand seeing my Unimatic sit there in the laundryroom and not see it run! I gotta replace the water bellows, I don't know how the oil bellows are doing, but I think they are fine, I still turn the machine on and let it pulsate for 5 or so minutes empty (and yes I'm makin sure there is still water in the pump first!) and the machine seems to run just as quietly as before! I already have the entire pulsator assembly off but don't know where to go from there!

Jamie, use a "C" Clamp to compress the snap-ring retainer at the base of the water bellows. Be careful with metal tools in the porcelain tub - and unplug the machine ;-) You'll see where the locking teeth are on the ring and once you have them compressed, use a small screw driver to un-snap the teeth from each other. Once you get the old one off, remove the metal plate from inside the top of the bellows and transfer it to the new bellows. The new bellows may be a bit of a pain to get on, you can heat them in the a bowl of hot water to make them easier to stretch. Once you get the bellows onto the flange of the tub, replace the ring by compressing it with your clamp again and hook the teeth together. | ||
