Step 1: Unplug the washer’s power cord from the power outlet. Take off the back panel of the washer by loosening the screws located at the bottom with the Phillips head screwdriver.

Step 2: Loosen the four Torx screws on top of the transmission cover with a Torx screwdriver and carefully remove the cover.

Step 6: Secure the new gasket to the transmission using the slip-joint pliers.

Step 7: Reconnect the wiring harness and carefully place the transmission into the housing, making sure that the gasket lines up properly.

Step 8: Reinstall the four Torx screws and tighten them securely to hold the transmission in place.
