Spanner Wrench for Kenmore/Whirlpool Washer HD Tub Nut - TB123A Compatible

Did the job. That simple. Some complaints in other reviews talked about the tool not staying in place. It requires one hand to hold it and the other to whack (or tap) away with a hammer. Nothing more, nothing less. Another specialty tool in the toolbox.

Well made spanner wrench for many model top-load washing machines. My washer in a Kenmore series 110. PROBLEM: A zipper-tab on a small net garment bag got stuck under the agitator, and the zipper-tab broke off when I tried to pull the garment bag out. The zipper tab dropped below the inner tub. So I had to remove that zipper-tab that was about 3/16” wide by 3/4” long so the water pump would not be damaged.I tried a variety of different tools without success to remove the spanner nut part number 21366 without success. Went on YT for suggestions, which included drilling out the spanner nut. Not needed!!!I saw a spanner wrench on a video and went on AMZN and found one of the lowest cost, but laser cut (sharp corner - great!), thick steel, and had 4 (not 2) keys. I took the well-packaged wrench out of the carton and plastic bag, walked over to the washer, and loosely placed the spanner wrench over the spanner nut. In less than a minute with two hits with a hammer on the wrench handle, no need to hold the tub, so EASY! Then my wife held the tub so I could spin the wrench with 2 hands, off with the nut. Then just jiggle the tub which at first thought would be a problem, but then also easy to lift out the inner tub and pick-up the zipper-tab. 😊👍 from the bottom of the outer-tub.I think with tax, $12 & change. SUPER!!!Oh, Amazon Prime with fast prime1-day delivery. Cardboard shipping box was in perfect condition (as usual).Performance of the tool exceeded my expectations!

The other reviews mentioning this wrench not staying in place are right. It fits onto the nut it's designed for, but doesn't have an sort of lip or taper stopping it from dropping all they way down the agitator shaft, past the nut. So you have to hold it in place, and if your washer is old/dirty like mine, hammer the snot out of it at the same time. Still way, way better than trying to use a hammer and a screwdriver.I had issues disconnecting the motor/shaft assembly from the basket after getting this nut off, and found a tip online to poor boiling water onto the assembly. This worked incredibly well, so if using this wrench and a big hammer isn't quite enough, you might try boiling water.

It worked great. It was what I needed to tighten up the hub on my washing machine. I watched a Youtube video that said to get it snug and go 1/2 to 3/4 more of a turn, than hand tight, and that would be difficult without that spanner.

fit

Perfect fit on the nut.I'm not sure how else to tighten the nut without the wrench.Saved me a repair bill.

The media could not be loaded. Was looking to deep clean the interior parts of our washing machine, sometimes after using it, clothes came out with black leaf-like particles, turns out it was the inside drum that was pretty dirty, after years of using cloth softeners. Tried once to take it a part and it turns out you need a special tool to take out the big nut holding the drum in place, so ordered this one. This thing gets the job done, however before using this tool, use a permanent marker to draw a line between the nut and the center hub, so you know where to tighten it when you secure it back in place. I had to spray UB-40 and used a hammer to hit this tool counterclockwise to loosen the nut, but it worked, and as you can see from the video and pictures, I was able to deep clean the drum, it was a fun cleaning project, so do yourself a favor, get this tool and never use cloth softeners again.

BUYER BEWARE - false listing!! I needed a spanner wrench TB123A but this one is much too small. I sits on the top of the nut instead of within the groves in the nut - wrong item description. A compatible item should have the same dimensions as the actual name brand one. I am trying to return it but received computer notification that cutoff is 10/11/22 - today is 10/26/22. This is a complete waste of my money as I have no use for it and still have to purchase a genuine TB123A spanner wrench that works and not a TB123A Compatible spanner wrench that does not work. The company can re-sell it but I cannot. I had to wait for ordered parts to complete other portions of the job before using the spanner wrench so I was not aware that the spanner wrench would not work. To the eye, it seems to be the same as the genuine one. Giving 30 days to return those types of items is unreasonable. I paid for an item to throw in the trash because the seller's advertisement is flawed - or deceptive!!!

La pieza era más grande que la llave , por ende no me sirvió, no esapta para lavadora kenmore

It was exactly what was needed.

this tool is lightweight and does the job with ease. other tools may fit better but this worked on a tub nut that had been on for 15yrs. the tub was fused to the shaft however and you may also need a jaw puller to help get the stuck tub out.

Did a deep clean of my washer and couldn’t for the life of me get the last nut to the agitator off!! Spanner wrench to the rescue! Minimal effort!

It did the job but the fact that there is no "stop" and it kept slipping/falling down as I used it is why only 4 stars.
