Function & Importance of the Outer Tub Assembly
The outer tub assembly is the primary housing that surrounds and supports the inner spin basket. It plays a vital role in:
-
Containing water during wash and rinse cycles
-
Supporting drum alignment and rotation
-
Housing key components such as bearings and seals
-
Connecting the front and rear tub sections securely
This assembly typically includes the rear tub, bearing, and centre gasket, ensuring proper sealing and smooth drum operation.
Using a genuine OEM tub assembly is essential because:
-
It ensures proper alignment of internal components

Maintains balance during high-speed spin cycles
A compromised tub can lead to serious performance issues and potential damage to surrounding components.
