See my thread here: http://www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?70756_8 I replaced the upper seal but did NOT replace the lower tub bearing as it was not noisey and tranny spun great. The leak was caught right away. I replaced the seal in late may and it started leaking on...

UPDATE: The WP inlet valve Pt# 285805 came in the mail yesterday, and I installed it. I noticed the WARM setting fills quite a bit faster now, in addition to it being nice and warm like the maytags. On the flipside, the COLD seems to fill much slower now. Overall a worthy upgrade as 95% of...

Ok, I ordered the w/o 285805 let's keep fingers crossed it does the trick......not only do I hope for warmer warm, but also to allow a faster fill than standard one.

And the WP part# will fit directly with no modification?

I seem to recall someone just purchasing another type of valve. What did you drill out exactly.

I have an AWN412xxxxx speed queen from 2013 with electro mechanical controls. When selecting warm water, it is not that warm. I heard for a different part# mixing valve that will provide a better ratio of hot water to make the warm - warmer. Please elaborate on this...... What prompted this...

Chetlaham, Rotted, as in the metal rotted out around the tub bearing thus causing massive leak and also the seam rotted out and began to drip. I got it under warranty though had to pay shipping. Warranty doesn't matter, a manufacture can obsolete it anytime! Seals, and mechanical parts will...

After 7 yrs on nasty well water the outer tub rotted out. I have the same model That is from 2015, sms it is not rotted at all yet. Due to the new 2018 regs, shall I store one away for the "what if" happens. A good example of this, is the short stroke and long stroke maytags, you can find...

Too late... I did not order it in time based on the above info. will keep an eye on it. As far as the mineral buildup on the outer tub, is it better to leave it alone or use lime away and clean it like new. P.S. I know already the area near the seal needs cleaned I'm talking about the whole...

Anyone

Do I only need The upper stem seal kit, or shall I also order the bottom bearing kit and take the tub off. It is not noisy at all, it just drips.

1. Aquired as a spare, tub seal leaks, if I replace now and then not use it, will new seal dry out and fail. 2. Is there any sources to get a new outer porcelin tub, this one has some rust starting. Cannot find any online. 3. How hard is this job, I do not have the spanner wrench, and 34...

My parents have that washer and the dryer is "kinda" a match. The control panel will have fonts like the washer if it was an exact match. The washer is highly sought after as back in 2007 they were discontinued. The design is very ancient and proven. If used on municiple water it will...

A little caution I thought would be worth mentioning. I like my hot water as hot as the tank will go. When you have a baby, this has to end, if you like hot water as I do, you will want to install anti scald valves in the bathroom fixtures. Accidents happen and too hot of water can kill! On...

UPDATE: Looks like the new thermostat worked. It is a heater and thermostat all in one. The wierd part is the stat was cycling the gas valve OFF and ON properly, maybe at a slightly lower temp than normal, however, the timer was not advancing when the gas valve was off. That is the part that...
