2. Remove rear service panel.

3. Remove 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.

4. Remove one screw to take off the motor connector

shield.

5. Disconnect the wiring harness connector block and

ground wire.

6. Remove motor mounting bolts (4).

7. Slide motor to front while supporting to remove.

8. Reverse procedure to reinstall, making sure that

belt tracks in the center of the tub pulley. Adjust by

moving belt on motor pulley if required.

DRIVE BELT

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 or Replace the Drive Belt

1. Disconnect washer from electrical supply.

2. Remove rear service panel.

3. Remove 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.

4. Reverse procedure to reinstall, making sure that belt

tween terminals 5 and 6. Resistance value should

be less than 5 ohms (the wide range of resistance

is due to measuring through the brushes of the

motor.)

3. Check resistance of tachogenerator between termi-

nals 1 and 2. Resistance value should be 135

ohms.

4. Check the continuity of the motor protector be-

tween terminals 7 and 8. Resistance should be less

than 1 ohm.

To Remove or Replace the Drive Motor

1. Disconnect washer from electrical supply.

terminals 3 and 4. Resistance should be 0.37

ohms. See motor diagram below.

2. Check resistance of armature (rotor) windings be-
