How to remove and replace the drum gasket on theFrigidaire/Kenmore Front Load Washer with notes on tub bearingreplacement and inner tub replacement.Here is what I did (I am printing a copy of this and placing in the bag where the electrical diagram goes, for mefor future use.0. UNPLUG WASHER!!!1. Pull top off. I have front controls, so the screws on the back allow the whole top to come off easily. Pull kickpanel. Remove back panel.2. Loosen two screws that hold weight on back half and slide out wieght. Leave screw on drum3. Remove drive belt. Cut zip tie, unplug motor and leave wiring in the bottom of the washer. Remove 4 screwsthat hold on motor and remove motor.4. On front right, loosen screw and remove rubber drain from tub. Squeeze large snap ring and remove waterlevel sensor (Thing that looks like an old fuel filter) from rubber drain also. Remove little hose from top of water

level sensor also. (NOTE: You can also disconnect the level sensor hose at the top of the washer. This will make iteasier to re-connect, however you'll need to be careful that you do not damage the hose when you remove thetub assembly). Sensor will be removed WITH the drum.I pushed the level sensor out from the back where it clips into the drum, this way I did not have to disconnect thesmall hose4a. At this point, you might want to remove the control board and pump motor. Each is secured by 2 screws andare easily removed. This will prevent accidental damage and give you more room inside the washer to work with.There are 2 connectors on the control board and 1 on the pump motor – be sure to remove those first.5. On shocks, push one lock area to allow the pint to be slid out of the tub and the shock will be free from thedrum. Push pins through to the rear and remove. Will now be hanging from the springs.These shock pins were stubborn, I squeezed the lock pin down and pushed with pliers in from the front, thenpulled from the back the rest of the way out.

6. From top, slide out what looks like overflow tube from holder. Leave tube attached to the drum. Place supportunder drum. I used 2 5 qt. Ice cream pails, but they may be a bit light for the job.7. From front, go though glass opening. Drum will be hanging a bit funny, with the bottom swinging away fromthe front. From opening, start at bottom and pull rubber boot off of drum. Work around to the top. boot springcame off during this process. Best to do this, even though boot will be removed from washer later, because thespring clip on the water fill area needs to be removed from the boot and that is easier to do after the drum isremoved.8. Drum should just be hanging from 2 large springs. Loosen and turn clip that goes over the top of the springs sothey can be lifted and removed from the washer. Start on either side, lift spring, move toward center and lower todisconnect drum from the frame. Completely remove spring. Repeat on the other side. Drum should now be sittingon ice cream pails (supports).9. From above, lift drum and slide out the rear.10. Lay drum on front face and start to remove screws that hold halves together. Once all screws are out, theback half with pulley (top half if sitting on face) easily lifts up from the other half.

11. Remove and replace tub seal. New seal is thicker than old one.My drum had some excess plastic flashing on the bottom compared to the top, I am not sure if this caused the 2halves not to seat well together. I removed the flashing with an exacto knife. My washer was leak free for the first1 ½ years so I do not think the flashing was the root cause of the leak.Tough for me to measure a big difference in seal thicknessconsidering old seal has been compressed for 1 ½ years.

12. Carefully remove rubber boot from front. From above, remove spring clip that holds boot to water filler tube.Clean --Assembly.13. I had to remove the front weights also to get a clear shot at the lip to get the from boot back on. Removescrews and round metal clip/guide.14. Without spring in boot, line up UP pointer and re-install boot to drum. Then pull spring back into groove onboot.15. Re-install front weights and metal thing.16. Place supports in bottom of washer(ice cream pails). Lift and slide drum back into place on top of supports(icecream pails).17. Had a % #%& of a time getting water fill tube spring clip back on. Helped to install drum support springs (bigones on top) and temporarily hang drum one hole to the rear to allow a little clearance in the front. Then use 2vice-grips, replace spring clip by going through the front glass opening. Worst part of re-assembly.18. Move springs to correct holes on top. Install safety clips back over springs.19. Front assembly reverse of disassembly.20. Back and Motor assemble reverse of disassembly.

21. Finally, pull boot over the front of washer. Don't do this until drum is in fully, or the boot might not end up onstraight and might pucker a bit.22. Put on back and top.23. Run load, check for leaks. Note: back is structural and must be on for a load to be run.24. Should be done.Total time 3 hours .I hope this helps anyone who has to get into the Frigidaire front loader and replace the seal. The rear bearingshould be serviceable from that point also?Bearing and Seal notes: This is from a bearing specialist that replaced just the bearings on his washer, savingover 150 versus buying the entire back half of the tub that is sold by the manufacturer with the bearings intact.The inboard bearing is a 6307-2RS. The outboard was a 6306-2RS. I haven't taken acaliper to the seal but I don't think it's anything special, just make sure it's a good qualitydouble lip seal. I'm going to try to get a rubber coated one too for addition waterresistance.If you live in the Seattle area, go to US Bearings and Drives for some SKF bearings (a6306-2RSC3 and 6307-2RSC3)40x80x10DL metric seal6307-2RS bearing (inboard)6306-2RS bearing (outboard)

Tips for removal / replacement of inner tub1. After removing the back panel and drive belt, remove the pulley from the shaft. The bolt is removed easily, butI had to gently pry around the base of the pulley to remove it (unless you have a puller). The pulley is verylight and the metal is soft, so be very careful that you do not damage or bend it while prying.2. The inner tub will lift out easily ounce you have split the outer drum halves.3. Remove the 3 tumbling vanes from the old inner tub. The new tub will not include these, so you'll need toreinstall the old ones. They are held on by one or to screws each.4. The inner tub has a 25 year warrenty on it, but Electrolux will not honor this if the work is not being done by anauthorized service dealer. I found a dealer that would order one for me however, and all they charged me wasshipping ( 18).Inner tub removed
