For those that are having trouble removing the old tub bushings. I was able to take the new bushing and find a socket slightly smaller and place a socket extension in the socket and use a hammer to tap on the extension and drive out the old bushing. I also recommend ordering the bushing, tub seal and split bushing. As I broke the split bushing and the seal had to be replaced along with the tub bushing. I also ordered the nut wrench as it was on $10.

Anybody who is attempting this repair on a washing machine that is years old should be aware that you're going to run into pieces that are rusted together and are not going to want to come apart as easily as shown on this video. I used to be a contractor and I'm pretty good at DIY projects. I did this repair on a 20 plus-year-old washer. I nearly gave up. One key is having the correct tool to get that reverse threaded nut off. Also, have plenty of WD-40 and 80 grit sandpaper around

Thank you for those tips!

Thanks for the video; forewarned is forearmed. The washer is a poor design by GE (my employer, by the way). In a good design, a part that commonly fails is inexpensive and easy to replace. Parts that are a pain to replace should be of high quality, making their failure rare.

I wish my coupler came off that easy. I ended up having to break it off with a screwdriver and buy a new one.

[@appliancepartspros]

+ssadiq1000 Yes sometimes they can be stuck pretty good. Glad you were able to get the coupler off!

[@ScantPear]

Cuz you didn’t unbolt it you idiot

[@jerryo21]

[@appliancepartspros]

They can be on there pretty good at times, hope you were able to get the washer fixed!

WCSE4230A0MM agitate ok but wont spin, motor check ok, turn transmition pulley by hand, turn ok in agitate direction, but only turn about 1/4 turn in spin direction then lockup wont turn any more, appreciate any help?

[@robertbznuni1263]

not used the Anti-seize compaund???? WHY?

[@appliancepartspros]

You should not need grease on this.

[@condor5635]

9:38 never understood the overflow tube. What good is it if it is not connected to anything? End of the day it overflows on the floor whether you have the tube or not.

[@thadthompson2264]

without the overflow tube, the water would just flow over the top of the tub, and onto the electrical connections and electric motor - the tube directs overflow to the back corner of the machine, preventing that electrical hazard.

[@condor5635]

@@thadthompson2264 very good points! Either way you are screwed! Did not think about it getting all over the motor

[@paypatay1]

Why replace the washer but not the bearing?

[@zacinnc78]

@5:58 on my hotpoint it is very oily there(getting into tub and into clothes) and i suspect its that top shaft seal,is there any way to replace that without having to pull and replace the whole transmission?

[@appliancepartspros]

What is the model number of your washer and we can look into this for you.

Is it part number AP5645738 that you are looking for? Below is the link to that part so you can look at it. www.appliancepartspros.com/ge-seal-tub-wh02x10383-ap5645738.html

[@zacinnc78]

i dont think its the tub seal(that would cause water to leak past the tub into the bottom right?)i think its the upper shaft seal (right under the splines for the agitator)
