My Wash Machine Leaks From Under Tub At Center. I Am Told The Mounting Stem (kit) And Tub Bearing (kit) Both Need To Be Replaced. Is It Necessary To Replace Both When Replacing One? Or Is It Just Saving A Headache Down The Road To Replace Both At The Same Time? Is This Repair Complicated Enough To Pay Repairman $300.00 To Do, Or Can It Be Done By My Mechanically Inclined Husband?

According to the manufacturer instructions in case of water leak both of these parts have to be replaced. Also a spanner wrench is needed to complete repairs. The mounting stem kit comes with the installation instructions and the Service manual might help as well.

- The mounting stem kit Part number: AP4390013
Part number: AP4390013



- The tub bearing kit Part number: AP4372971
Part number: AP4372971



- The spanner wrench Part number: AP3538707

GENE, i ORDERED THE PARTS, THEY SHOULD BE DELIVERED TOMORROW. The cust. serv. person said the Maytag center seal grease was in stock, so I ordered it, but it was back ordered after all. The "OTHER" Center seal grease you recommended was actually silicon sealant in the picture. I s the Maytag center seal grease actually a grease ( AN ACTUAL GREASY SUBSTANCE THAT DOESN'T DRY) or is it silicon sealant ( which does dry to be a rubbery type sealant, the kind I probably already have)? Thank you again for your help, you are a lifesaver!
