Base hub repair straight forward - lock nut a bit trickier
The part came much sooner than expected. The install was fairly straight forward - the online video was very helpful. The tricky part was removing the lock nut - after following other people's online comments I had to break apart the old luck nut using a chisel! When chiselling, watch out for potentially damaging the threads on the shaft to which the nut is mounted! Great service and the washing machine is back up and running.

the hardest part was getting the hub nut off. You have no room for a big wrench, I ended up chiseling it off.once I got it a part I saw the transmission was leaking oil, I checked every thing else, every thing seemed fine. I read on this web site that a common failure was the hub, mine was not in the best of shape so I replaced it while I

I used the other 4 posting as a guideline but found that what wasn't mentioned here was that the disassembly/re-assembly instructions are actually located inside the washing machine behind the control panel (wish I knew that before I started doing it on my own).
After removing the control knobs (temperature, cycle, etc.), unscr

Like others here, everything went smooth until I tried to get the Hub Nut (PS271505) off. No matter how hard I tried turning or hitting it (or the wrenches), it wouldn't move at all. I followed the other people's advise here and ended up taking a hammer and small chisel to the side of the nut. It's an aluminum nut so it cracked pretty easily and was easy to remove after that. Take my advise and just break the nut off if you are having any sort of difficulties getting it to turn. It's worth the extra $11 to just buy a new one!

I had to take the washer outside since there was no room to work on it in the laundry room. The extra space allowed me to spread out the parts, use the garden hose to clean and have light enough to take digital pics of the wiring before I disconnected them to remove the upper panel.

The tough part was the inner tub base hub nut that I could not get off. Another user had commented on how they had to chisel the nut off and that was the best advice. I used my air chisel on either side of the nut and it was pretty quick to get off - within 3 min. If I hadn't read that I wouldn't have ordered another nut to replace the one I chiseled off.
The diagrams and repair stories really made the difference. Cleaning and reassembling was done within about an hour - cleaning the 11 years of soap scum at least an hour total before and after replacing the parts.

After reading all the repair info and reviewing the diagram for my wash machine on this website I was ready to tear into my washer. I removed the front panel and lid to access the tub, pulled out the plastic agitator and revealed the broken inner base hub. The base hub was cracked half way around causing the inner tub to drop down and d
... Read morerag on the outer tub, making the washer sound like it was coming through the wall on a spin cycle. I then unbolted the plastic cap and removed it revealing the hub nut. The most valuable piece of advice in the repair info was abouthe hub nut being a laft hand thread (clockwise to loosen)and that it was on really tight and hard to remove. I put a short 8" pipe wrench on it, because of the lack of clearance in the tub, and hit it with the handle of a all steel hammer to break it loose. Unbolted the balancing straps (4) on the plastic top rim cap that holds the tub in place, unsnapped and removed it, then carefully pulled out the tub. I also had to unscrew the the control panel to reveal and remove the 4 screws holding the fill tube brace so I could push it back to remove the tub. I then took the inner tub outside and took it apart, 3 parts. The top plastic rim, the tub, and the broken base hub that are held together with torx screws. Then it was cleanup time, very dirty on the inside, used a garden hose, scrub brush, sponge, and soap. Cleaned up the hub nut threads with a wire brush and then the outer tub withe a sponge and shop vac. When the base hub broke it caused the inner tub and outer tub to rub together making a groove and plastic shards on the bottom of the outer tub that I had to scrape and sand smooth. A shop vac an absolute necessity in getting all the grime and plastic crumbs out of the outer tub so they don't get in and clog the pump. I received the replacement parts in 2 days! Reassembled in reverse order and everything worked great! Not a bad project at all when you know what to expect, thanks to Part Select.com.
I pulled agitator off revealing rotted hub. Had to remove inner basin from machine. This required pulling off top and tying up to be out off way . I had to get the control panel out of way. Removed back screws and moved it up as though hinged. I had to remove the water fill piece, as this was impeding removal of basin. I had to remove top
... Read more ring off of inner drum. Needed a second person to hold control panel away as I removed drum. Once drum was out, it was an easy task to replace the rotted hub. I then needed to get the portion that was rotted and still on drive out. Could not wrench the hub nut out due to lack of leverage. Split nut with a chisel. Once old nut out, I cleaned up threads, put inner basin back in, again utilizing assistance in holding control panel out of way. Reinstalled in order. Before I had gone too far, I found that a six pronged jumper had fallen off of the controls. Found where it had been and re-installed. Put remainder back in reverse order. Machine back on line, and working properly.

Does not agitate (although it will start once in awhile for a short time) and now no longer spins either. Does drain and refills during rinse cycle. No noise. No shaking. No smell thank you.
Hi Jeanine,
Thank you for your question. If your washer is not agitating, there are some parts that you will need to check to see which one is causing the issue. You will need to check the agitator coupling kit, the agitator, the belt, the inner tub base hub, the tub dampening strap, the transmission and brake assembly, and the lid switch assembly. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

When your inner hub broken into pieces when you replace you would just have to replace inner hub and nut are there any other items that should be replaced when doing that. I bought a belt cause i smelled burning,before installing belt i noticed metal chunks in washer removed agitator and found broken hub. Just want to order all parts needed to fix but have to order tool cause i cant remove nut but want one stop shopping instead of bits at a time
Hello Grisel, Thank you for your inquiry. I would check the hub washer part# PS271511 and split ring part# PS1766022 as well. You may also need the screw part# PS268949. In case you need it, the hub nut wrench is part# PS311934. Hope this helps!

I am watching the inner tub base hub replacement video and am wondering the size and type of wrench used to remove hub nut. I cannot get mine off.
Hello James, thank you for your question. The tool is called a TB123B Spanner Wrench. However, it is usually only found in specialty stores. An alternative is may be a as 9 '' Monkey Wrench Tool ( adjustable wrench). We hope this helps.
