CENTER POST ASSEMBLY

REMOVAL:

The center post assembly consists of a plastic center post. A nylon agitator bearing slips over the lower portion on the center post body.

The center post assembly is secured to the basket hub assembly by the spin basket, and to the agitator shaft. A small rubber gasket is installed in a groove on the bottom flange of the center post, and a foam gasket is placed between the bottom of the spin basket and the basket hub assembly.

The center post can be removed after removing the spin basket, and the agita- tor shaft "O" ring.

BEARING AND SEAL HOUSING

The bottom of the tub sits on, and is attached to, the tub support.
