Step 1: Unplug the Washer
Before beginning any repairs, it is important to turn off and unplug the washer from the wall outlet. Also, shut off the water supply valves to the washer.
Step 2: Remove the Top Panel and Agitator
To gain access to the agitate and spin belt, the top panel of the washer must be removed. Begin by removing the screws located on the sides of the panel, then gently lift the panel off. The agitator can then be removed by removing the bolt located at the center of the agitator and lifting the unit up.
Step 3: Loosen the Motor Mounting Bolts
Located on the sides of the motor are two mounting bolts. Use a wrench to loosen and remove these bolts. The motor can then be pulled away from the base of the washer.
Step 4: Disconnect Belt from Motor
Locate the belt that is connected between the motor and the agitate and spin pulley. Loosen the belt and remove it from both the motor and the pulley.
Step 5: Install New Belt
Once the old belt has been removed, install the new belt onto the motor and the pulley. Make sure the belt is routed correctly and is properly tightened.
Step 6: Reinstall Motor
Reinstall the motor into the washer with the two mounting bolts. Be sure the bolts are tightened securely.
Step 7: Reinstall Agitator
Replace the agitator back into the washer, making sure that the bolt at the center is tightened properly.
Step 8: Reinstall Top Panel
Once the agitator is in place, the top panel of the washer can be replaced. Secure the top panel with screws and ensure the door latches are lined up correctly.
Step 9: Plug in Washer and Re-attach Water Supply Lines
Now that all repairs have been completed, the washer can be re-plugged in and the water supply lines can be re-attached.
Step 10: Test Washer
Finally, test the washer to make sure the agitate and spin belt replacement was successful. Fill the washer with a small load of laundry and run the cycle to check for proper operation.
