Not sure how to reattach or if it is broken. The back of the washer does not seem to be nearly as accessible as the front. Any advice as to what to do next would be greatly appreciated! tsquilanti attached the following image(s):

Maybe it has detached from the nipple on the outer tub and dropped down. It is usually secured with a tie-wrap to the nipple. You can try to reach up to the top of the tube and push it back onto the nipple but if the tie-wrap broke or is really loose, it will just come off again. You will need to remove the top panel to get to it. Eric

After i fished the flange out i reconnected it as shown in the picture. However, i am not sure where that other end of the flange is supposed to be. Do i just push it into the hole of the tub before putting the flange in place? Please let me know if i am not describing the problem clearly. much appreciated to any one who can help! tsquilanti attached the following image(s):

The tub hole is D shaped as is the flange on the gasket. You put the gasket in from inside the tub and twist it to lock in place. You will need to remove the tub cover for access. Eric
