Washer leaks, NOT tub seal
My dad has figued out that my Whirlpool washer is leaking further down than we thought. It is not from the tub seal as the area on top of the metal is dry. (If it was the tub seal the area I'm referring to should be wet)
Thi area is directly above the transmission and is a round metal piece, it looks like it has bearings in it. Can someone tell us if that is the source or is it coming fom higher up?
Someone said something about "spin tube bearings". If so, why woud the water drip below like that, and is it a hard job? My dad just got through replacing the tub seal. It was really torn up so we thought that would fix the leak. He doesn't have a problem doing the work. We have not read anything about doing bearings while replacing the tub seal.
