Norman for Model Number ALW880QAW

Answer Hello Norman. To replace the belt 27001006 on the unit, you will need to remove the two springs in the front and remove the motor and pump assembly from the washer. Now you need to remove the pump from the motor and install the belt onto the motor pulley. Once the belt is installed, you will install the motor and pump back into the washer and then roll the belt onto the large pulley. Make sure the idler arm is applying tension to the belt when you roll it onto the large pulley. 

Craig for Model Number SAV515DAWW

Answer Hello Craig. The motor pulley goes where number 15 is pointing at in the diagram, and the pulley for the tension is in the correct location in the diagram. The large pulley goes into the large loop at the other end of the belt 27001006 in the diagram. Hope this helps. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/partsearch/model.aspx?model_id=5177668&diagram_id=28532901
