This OEM upper transmission shaft seal, also known as the oil seal, is found in your washers and dryers. It acts as a barrier to prevent water from leaking into the transmission assembly. It measures 1/2 inch in height with a 1-inch diameter, and is located at the top of the transmission shaft where it enters the tub. Signs of a broken se...Read moreal include water stains, dampness, or pooling of water beneath the appliance. If left unreplaced, it can result in water damage to internal components, along with the potential for corrosion, mold growth, and unpleasant odors. To remove the shaft seal, consult your user guide for specific instructions. Start by shutting off the power and water supply. Remove the water hoses and drain hose, being cautious of any water that may leak out. You will need tools like a putty knife, screwdriver, nut driver, pliers, spanner, plastic mallet, and a socket set. Open the lid and proceed to remove the agitator assembly, detach the control panel, and disconnect any necessary wiring harnesses. Remove the cabinet and water break. Continue disassembling the inner tub until you can lift it out of the appliance and tilt it onto its back, propping it up with a block. This will allow access to the transmission assembly from beneath the appliance. Remove the mounting fasteners on the pump to reach the motor assembly. Once the motor assembly is out, further disassemble it to access the basket drive. The seal can be removed from the top of the shaft of the drive tube, below the thrust ring.

It is important to ensure that you purchase the correct part when making repairs.
