If you cant find a new shaft and can afford to do it you can possibly have it polished up and chrome plated or metal sprayed to bring it back to correct dimensions but only in the pitted area. Be sure to measure the diameter in an unworn section before you do any rework,etc. Machined shafts such as this one are usually pretty expensive as a new part.

OK, here is the seal removed. the number on the seal is SOG 100736. I have found the seal to be 3/4" x 1/38". It's listed as discontinued with a part # AP4375416. I couldn't find it on this site, but i was able to find it online for about $15.00 shipped. That's a little pricey, but I don't have a choice. If any one has a suggestion, I am all ears. Thanks.

So, how did you remove the small bearing 6002DU or the one from the spinner shaft.

Hey Doug,



I don't know if I have seen a user with the FAV6800 or FAV9800 machines that has those notches in the outer tub to support the Upper Bearing ring and not use the Upper Bearing ring.

Pic below shows the Clutch Pulley the one on the left is from a series outer tub design that uses the Upper Bearing ring

If your machine series has no Upper Bearing ring then it will use the second generation Outer Tub design. What type of Lower Outer Tub bearing was installed from the factory with your series 13 machine?

With no Upper bearing ring installed it it had to be the combined Lower Outer Tub bearing that takes the place of the Upper Bearing ring. The function of the Upper Bearing ring is to prevent CW rotation of the wash basket in the wash cycle which is CW rotation of the Clutch Pulley. If your machine does not use the Upper Bearing ring then you would have to use a CSK207 type bearing to accomplish the function of the Upper Bearing ring.




Not sure how to help with this issue. your at Page 40 of the SM for tranny removal. Just watch the stainless steel straps around the tranny very sharp I slow to respond and sometimes miss post all together. If I can't help maybe other owners will jump in with their thoughts............Dick

Good deal, with the four tranny bolts removed there is probably a lot of crud around the post casting/rubber bushings on those post of the the spinner support.



I would re-lube the One Way bearing in your new Upper One Way bearing ring as well as the One Way bearing in the Clutch Pulley bearing plate. Those One Way Bearings need to lock up Rock Solid. For the Upper One Way Bearing it needs to lock up Rock Solid in the CW direction to prevent Wash Basket rotation in the wash agitate cycle and allow free rotation of the Spinner Support in the Spin Cycle (Clutch Pulley CCW rotation).

The Clutch Pulley One Way bearing is the opposite lock up condition. With CW clutch pulley rotation wash/agitate direction it should rotate around what I call the Spinner Shaft coupler freely and lock up solid in the Spin Cycle CCW clutch pulley rotation.

I think I got the lock up conditions correct if not others please jump in.

If the Clutch Pulley One Way bearing plate does not lock up solid in spin cycle the the tumblers will begin to rotate causing the wash load to be tossed off balance.......DC/UC unbalance errors. Bottom line re-lube/at least a good WD-40 rinse and wipe dry with lint free cloth..................Dick
