If you have noticed
leaking water under your washer or even foul odors in washed clothes, it
may be time to take a look at the tub. Years of use can build up
sediment around a tub. This will not only start to create foul odors but
can also lead to tub corrosion. The average person can remove the tub
in a Whirlpool washer. The tub can be thoroughly cleaned and inspected
for damage after removal from the washer.

Disconnect the two brass holding clips on the top corner of the washer by inserting a flathead screwdriver into the clip and prying the clip out.
