Installing the Spin Basket

If the spin basket c-ring and hub nut were messed up in disassembly, you need to pick up some new ones. The c-ring (split ring) part number is WH02X10265 and the hub nut part number is WH2X1193.

  1. (Figure 1) This is a picture of the transmission shaft extending into the bottom of the tub without the seal in place.
  2. (Figure 2) Remove any grease on the outer ring of the tub seal and slide it down over the basket spin shaft. Press the new seal into the plastic bore around the shaft until the top of the seal is flush with the top of the seal bore. Make sure that it is level all the way around and fully seated.
  3. (Figure 3) The shoulder ring, the split ring or c-ring and the hub nut will be replaced in this sequence from left to right.
  4. (Figure 4) First the shoulder ring.
  5. (Figure 5) Then the split ring.
  6. (Figure 6) Position the spin basket down over the shaft and hand tighten the nut by turning it counter clockwise.
  7. (Figure 7) Tighten the nut with a large pliers.
  8. (Figure 8) Position the agitator base over the agitator shaft and tighten the bolt.
  9. Position the agitator over the base and push down until the agitator snaps onto the base. Replace the agitator cap.
  10. Now you are ready to put the tub assembly back into the washer cabinet.
