I have a Frigidaire washer that I believe is made by Electrolux. It is leaking water above the transmission from where the shaft enters the tub. I am assuming the seal is bad.

Is there more than one shaft seal and how do you replace it/them?

Thanks.

Hi Chris,

As you can see on the break down diagram there is one tub seal (#26) which consists of two parts.

You can find the complete instructions in the service manual.

- The part number for the tub seal is AP2142342

Here are the break down diagrams for the Frigidaire washer Model FWSB34RGS0

Thank you very much Gene. That information seems straightforward.

I have almost no experience working on washers. Would you recommend a beginner try this repair?

Thanks again.

If you know how to handle a simple tools, this is not going to be a big problem.

Gene,

I hope you are still around as I wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation for your assistance on this thread as it resolved my problem. I was able to diagnose my problem as a faulty tub seal and was able to pick on up at a local appliance parts store, but wasn't sure how to proceed from there. Following your advice and d/l'ing the service manual made it very easy.
The only problem that slowed me down was the 12 years worth of caked-on fabric softener on the drive hub and trunnion. ;)

Thanks again,

btw, my washer is a FWS845GCS3
