Disconnect the dampers from the tub and the base. Be sure to press in the safety tab before pushing the pin out of the damper. You can use a socket to hold the tab in while you squeeze the pin with the special tool 383EER4003A. (Click SPECIAL TOOLS.) |

The flat end of the tool goes on the small end and the split end allows the head end to pass through while the pin is pushed out. Use a socket to hold the pin down while you press the pin out. The color and/or appearance of the damper may vary by model but the operation is the same. |

Use special tool 383EER4003A to remove the damper pins. (Click SPECIAL TOOLS on the main WASHER menu.)If you are replacing the dampers, you’ll have to remove both ends. If you are removing the tub for major repair work, disconnect the damper ends at the base and leave the other ends connected until you remove the tub. When putting the tub back into the machine, connect the dampers to the tub first. It is much easier that way. Be careful not to pull the dampers apart while they are disconnected. If you break them, they must be replaced, and they should be replaced as a set. Notice that ALL previous versions of the dampers have been replaced by the newer, double-acting dampers. |
