Simon, you're my hero buddy! I spent 2 months finding a video for complete breakdown and rebuild. Excellent video! Even used my exact washer. Made it it very easy. Just a great and thorough video and explanation. I am confident I can keep this washer going for many, many years! Thanks Simon.

Excellent video, that goes into details on disassembly and assembly. In many cases its not possible to unscrew spider nuts, and as per this video its recommended to replace tub assembly. However, if you have opened washer, and were unable to unscrew spider bolt, this is what I did: 1. Use rotating blade to cut bolt head. 2. Remove the three baffles inside tub. 3. Unscrew 2 screws from bolt side and one screw from side. 4. Use a screw driver to pryout plastic, remove the rusty bolt and nut. Screw could not be opened because nut was rotating inside. Take a screw to hardware store, and buy 6 Stainless steel screws, six nuts, six locking washer, 6 washers and six star washer (I paid total of about $15 at Home Depot) 5. Clean plastic parts, and insert nut in the housing. Since nut will be loose, use adhesive to fill around nut (liquid nail) and let it dry for about 2 hours. 6. Place star washer on nut, and metal plate and plastic hub. 7. install screws and complete waffle assembly. 8. Install waffles in drum. 9. Install spider, use a locking washer and washer and tighten all six screws. Congratulations, you have saved over $250 by repairing waffles. Hope this will help others. Suresh Roy
Simón, i have a cracked FRONT outer tub. Do I still have to pull the whole tub out or can I replace the front outer tub without pulling the entire tub out?
Thanks a lot for video. Sir.. When inserting the spider shaft after replacement, is it okay if i do not apply grease between the bearings and the shaft?
@appliancepartspros I followed these instructions and double checked abetting inside the back panel but I'm getting a loud grinding noise. Help? Could it be I was shipped the wrong part? Also I didn't grease the shaft of the inner stainless steel basket, which one video I saw says to do.

Excellent step by step. Kept computer in my shop and paused it after each stem. Worked great. Saved me $700 labor. Thanks.

Did you replace the rear tub or basket ? Both should have been replaced
Thank you.
You're welcome!
Nice and thanks
Glad the video helped you get the washer fixed!
.
if use machine in the room or some dry place, that kind of rust not happen ??
These are inside the washer, I do not think a dry room will stop the corrosion.
Lol a short tome complete this repair if 2 hours is a short tomelol
