Remove Drum, Matag Top Loader
I have a Matag washer (Model LAT8506AAE) - two belts on the bottom.
The washer won't spin out. It turns, but somewhat hard, even when in the spin cycle (brake off? ). It turns (by hand) when I take the belt off and start the spin cycle. There is no obvious grinding that might signal bad bearings.
I changed the belts, but still won't turn.
I have the agitator off, and there's a large "nut"? That is like an upside down coffee cup with 8 notches and a rubber center around the agitator shaft. I'm assuming that the notches are for some specialized tool. I can get a pipe wrench on it, but can't budge it.
Does this turn clockwise or counter clockwise. Any other help on getting the drum out?
