Component Teardown
Drive Belt Removal
The drive belt (6 rib flat Poly-V) is used to transmit
power from the motor pulley to the tub. The belt is
constructed of a material that stretches, which
makes belt tension adjustments unnecessary.
To remove the drive belt:
1. Remove rear access panel.
2. Remove the belt by turning tub drive pulley
and rolling belt off pulley. The belt is elastic
and is designed to "give" enough to remove
and install in this manner. (See Figure 4-48)
Large Pulley Removal
To remove the large pulley:
1. Remove the rear access panel and drive belt.
2. Using a #6 mm allen wrench remove the bolt in
the center of the pulley by holding the pulley
and turning the bolt counter clockwise.
(See Figure 4-49)
Drive Motor Removal
The drive motor is secured with four bolts to the
bottom of the wash tub assembly. The ground wire
connects to a terminal to the front of the drive
motor that can be accessed from the rear access
panel.
To remove the drive motor:
1. Remove rear access panel.
2. Remove the drive belt.
3. Disconnect the electrical plug and the ground
wire from the drive motor. (See Figure 4-51)
4. Using a 5/16” socket remove the four bolts,
two in the front and two in the rear, that secure
the motor to the outer tub. (See Figure 4-50)
5. Support the drive motor while pulling forward
and remove from unit.
6. Reverse procedure to reinstall, making sure the
belt tracks in the center of the large pulley.
Adjust by moving belt on motor pulley if
required.
