Washing Machine Outer Tub - AJQ73413811

Restore the structural integrity and water-containment system of your appliance with the AJQ73413811 Washing Machine Outer Tub. This critical component acts as the stationary housing for the inner wash basket and holds the water throughout the wash, rinse, and spin cycles. If your washing machine is leaking from the bottom, showing visible cracks in the plastic housing, or making extreme thumping noises due to failed internal supports, replacing the outer tub is essential to prevent water damage to your home and further mechanical failure of the machine.

The AJQ73413811 is manufactured from high-impact, reinforced polypropylene designed to withstand the heavy weight of water-soaked laundry and the centrifugal forces of high-speed spinning. Its precision-molded design includes integrated mounting points for the suspension springs, dampers, and the drive motor, ensuring all components remain perfectly aligned for quiet operation.

1. Safety First: Unplug the washing machine and disconnect the water supply hoses. This is a major repair; ensure you have ample floor space.
2. Disassemble the Cabinet: Remove the top panel, control console, and front panel of the washer to access the internal drum assembly.
3. Disconnect Components: Carefully remove the wire harnesses from the motor and sensors. Detach the drain hose, pressure switch tube, and the bellows (door boot seal).
4. Remove the Suspension: Use a helper or a lifting strap to support the weight of the tub while you disconnect the suspension springs and lower shock absorbers.
5. Extract the Tub Assembly: Lift the entire drum assembly (inner and outer tub) out of the cabinet.
6. Separate the Tubs: Remove the bolts around the perimeter of the tub to separate the front and rear halves of the outer tub. Slide out the inner stainless steel basket.
7. Install the New Tub: Clean the bearing area and seals, then place the inner basket into the new AJQ73413811 outer tub.
8. Reassemble: Ensure the tub seal is perfectly seated before bolting the halves back together. Reinstall the assembly into the cabinet by reversing the disassembly steps.
9. Test for Leaks: Run a short cycle without clothes to verify that the machine is watertight and balanced.
