Maytag 16010061 service manual Spinner TUB Support

SPINNER TUB SUPPORT

The spinner tub support attaches to the spin basket and the shaft of the spider extends through a seal system to the exterior of the outer tub with a pulley attached to the end of the shaft (Figure 7-7). This assembly supports the spin basket and transfers the rotation of the drive pulley directly to the rotation of the spin basket.

NOTE: When the spinner tub support is removed, the shaft seal system should be replaced.
