NOTE: When reinstalling filler hose, the white line
on hose must be aligned with the arrow on the
backflow preventer; and white line on hose that
connects to tub cover must be aligned with line
located on top side of outer tub cover. Refer to
Figure 31. Make sure the hose is in its natural
position (not kinked or twisted) and is parallel to the
rear edge of the washer cabinet. If it is not, loosen
hose clamp and straighten the hose.
e. Locate the eight clip areas on the outer tub
cover. Using the 273P4 Tub Cover Tool, insert
the two prongs of the tool underneath each side
of the tandem clips. Refer to Figure 38. Tilt the
tool toward the center of the tub cover and at the
same time lift up on cover to unsnap hold-down
tabs from outer tub flange.
NOTE: We recommend using a new cover gasket
when installing the outer tub cover. Before
installing the new gasket, clean and remove any
foreign material that is in the gasket groove of the
cover. The outer tub flange must also be cleaned.
Starting at the positioning pin that is between the
two bleach drain tabs, lay gasket into the gasket
groove of the tub cover. Refer to Figure 39. Use the
semi-curled end of the tub cover tool, Part No.
273P4 press against both tabs when installing gasket
past the ends of hold-down tabs and to bottom of
groove. Refer to Figure 40. One by one, insert gasket
past tips of all eight hold-down tabs. Care must be
taken not to twist or bunch the gasket in any one
area as this will cause a leak after assembly.
