My Whirlpool Cabrio washer is getting repaired due to a leak with a new: bearing/seal kit (W10435302), &motor/stator (W10419333), due to being cracked.
The old top bearing ring is stuck inside the plastic tub.
The local tech tried using the specific whirlpool tub press assembly kit (W10447783) to remove it... without success.
Upon the local tech calling the whirlpool service tech line, they just recommended using this specific tool.
Do you have any suggestions on how to remove the old top ring, which is really stuck tight, without damaging the plastic tub (as then the new part will not seat properly etc./ potentially fail/leak)?
Thanks.
