Doesn't include the gasket!!
March 06, 2022

Noticed too late that this doesnt come with the gasket and the website doesn't state nor show that it's not included with the tub assembly either. You'd think that the gasket is part of the tub so it would be included..... wrong!! Took the entire appliance apart, replaced the tub assembly and put it back together in about 6hrs. Tested it afterward and noticed that there was a substantial leak. I was forced to completely disassemble the appliance again and reuse the gasket off the old tub assembly. I resembled and luckily the old gasket sealed and stopped the leak. Depending on your skill this takes about 4-6 hours to complete. It took me 8 hours after having to dissemble it twice.

Relatively easy to install bit took some time.

All told, from start to wash was around 4.5 hours. Substantial disassembly was required and required some heavy lifting. Everything went per on line instructions. No surprises. Don't forget to purchase a new tub seal!

For appliance repairs, I always check Sears Parts Direct because of their wide variety of parts. They had the exact part that I needed. I used the online chat to confirm the part that I needed and got a discount to boot. It took me a good 10 hours to install the part but I was being very deliberate so I took my time. My washer is running like and new. Thanks again to Sears! I highly recommend Sears for your appliance parts.

Another view of the full tub assembly. The tub is white from detergent residue. I pressure washed it before re-installing.
A close look at the interior of the outer rear tub assembly that I replaced. The bearing was really noisy but the new tub did the trick. It sounds like a dream now.

Easy if you know what you're doing

Requires attention to details and removal of 90% components in order to replace the rear tub. Time required is about 4 hours for careful removal and assembly. Part come with attached hoses and bearings; however, no rubber gasket; has to be purchase separately. Overall very easy job.

This part is exactly as described and there is not need to purchase the hoses separately. I recommend you replace the gasket where the two tubs join. All said and done, the installation is moderately easy but time consuming if you have never done it before.
