Thanks, Bob. That makes sense :-) Mechanics was never my "thing". I hope someone can shed some light on the agitation and drum/basket removal problem. Rich |

First of all be sure to put hot water down the pump before you run the motor to prevent the seal from getting ruined from being dry all those years.
Does the motor sound like it is straining in spin? or does it just sound that in in Agitation?
If its ok in spin, you can fill the tub with very hot water, let it sit for 15 minutes, spin it out and let the machine drain, turn it off. Then work on rocking the tub (when its hot) out of the machine.
After that, let the transmission get warmed up by letting it spin for a half hour or so with a big load of wet towels.
The problem also could be the linkage assembly between the control lever and transmission not working properly. |
