You can do it too!
March 16, 2026|Not at all handy, Seattle WA

Confirming the AI diagnosis of my washer's issue I unscrewed the back panel and found the belt had shredded and fallen off. This part was an exact duplicate and arrived quickly. It took all my strength (and my husbands) but we persevered until the belt fit, extremely tightly, on the wheels. Now our 18 yr old machine works great!

Pretty simple to install, works like a champ
April 22, 2021|Dave, Phoenix

This was a direct replacement (the part number was still on the old belt). It took maybe 20 minutes to replace. The most time consuming part was removing/replacing the myriad of screws holding the back panel. The hardest part was removing the strips of the old belt that had wound around the motor shaft (make sure the shaft is clear of these). Be prepared to find that the new belt is REALLY tight. Side-by-side, my old belt reached over an inch further. I mounted the belt by putting it on the motor pulley and then winding it around the larger drum pulley, holding it tightly so it didn't slip off as I spun the drum. It must be putting a lot of tension on the bearings, but I guess they're designed for it. My washer works just fine now, saving me the cost of a new one.
