Tub bearing kenmore front loader

Think you have bad Tub bearings I'm a one machine owner DIY'er for the FAV6800A/FAV9800A. Give this forum a try http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/washer-repair/

See this post Neptune Bearing Repair - Pic Tutorial for info on bearing replacement.........Rich

tub bearing more than likely.tub has a 10 yr warranty so call sears get the flat rate labor charge their offering then have them replace the tub

Overfilling loads can cause small objects like pins, coins, and small socks to get between the tub abd Basket of your washer.

The basket is held onto the rear half of the outer tub simply by the bolt to the main pulley.
Remove the bolt, remove the pulley, and the basket shaft should slip right out of the bearings of
the rear tub.

Simply shining a light around between the basket and outer tub should confirm that there is something in there, since you have access to do this with
the front tub removed. Go ahead, remove the pulley and bolt, and if
the basket comes out, then check everything out.

If it doesn't, don't try pounding it out; stop there and go to plan B, which is a new basket
and tub assembly.

Front - loader: Remove Bellow
