Amana ALW780QAW Top load Washer is leaking around bearing area. Typically, is the bearing the only part to be replaced? and how is the actuator attached? it is plastic, is it held by a screw or does it just lift off?

Hi

Thanks for using FixYa. From what you have described it seems that replacing the bearing should solve the issue however, you can also check the pulley and the brake pads. I dont think they should be bad as if they are bad washer should be making some noise but still would recommend you to check them. Also check this diagram for more information:



Please do accept the solution if the issue is resolved or else revert for further assistance.


Thanks
