I took apart the assembly at the bottom to discover some broken parts. I bought the spare parts, then realized my marriage was not worth fixing this machine. Recipient has to provide transportation and a hand truck to lift it out of my house. I will help with disassembly. History of my repair...

OK How do I put this back together Ok I'm a little confused about the bottom. Do I have the right seal part? Which way does it go? Do I used those flat metal washers or other washers for the shims? I realize the conical washers go between the wash impeler and pump cover. So close and yet so far
