SPINNER TUB SUPPORT
The spinner tub support attaches to the spin basket and the shaft of the spider extends through
a seal system to the exterior of the outer tub with a pulley attached to the end of the shaft
(Figure 7-7)
. This assembly supports the spin basket and transfers the rotation of the drive
pulley directly to the rotation of the spin basket.
NOTE:
When the spinner tub support is removed, the shaft seal system should be replaced.
