Received the seal that I needed. It fit the washing machine as advertised

I did want to mention that the spanner wrench that I bought for this job (Supco TB123A Spanner Wrench ) said it was a universal spanner wrench, but it did not fit the 1 and 11/16th nut that must be removed to replace the tub seal. If you need this wrench, it would be wise to read reviews on some of the other wrenches for sale to see if they fit this nut better.

I made this wrench work though but wrapping a couple of the sides several times in duct tape. This helped fill in the gaps between the wrench and the nut and also held the two part wrench together. Its also important to note that I had to hit the wrench relatively hard many times in order to get the nut to even budge. I just wanted to include in case someone else experiences the same as me.

I also wanted to note that I thought the tub seal was the issue to my leaking washing machine. The fact that I had the top load washer door closed, I didn't notice that the water was slightly overflowing the tub and causing water to come out of the bottom of the washer. It turned out to actually be a small amount of build up where the air tube connected to the tub. This kept the pressure switch from being activated. As a result, the tub continued to fill and would not agitate as usual. The simple and free fix was sucking up water into a straw and blowing out the debris clogging the small plastic piece connected to the outer tub (the location where the air tube attaches to the tub)

If the tub seal is needed, I would recommend buying a new split ring as the old ring broke (due to corrosion) as I removed it to replace the tub seal.
