Changing a Drain Pump Tube on a Speed Queen , IPSO Washer
There was a small leak under one of the small IPSO washers. After some looking around I found the drain tube from the washer to the pump had a small hole worn in it.
The change is not too technical but it is a little hard to access.
There is some scraping of the old sealant involved and you should use some rubber gloves when putting the new sealant around the drain tube at the base of the drum. Before you install the sealant test fir the new tube so that it will have clearance from the pump to reduce the chance of it rubbing a new hole in the future.
The video below shows the location of the drain tube, where the hole was found and the steps to replace it.
The sealant does need time to dry so plan on leaving it overnight and finishing the connection to the pump the next day.
