Answer

Jim, You will need to check and make sure you have the belt installed properly on the idler pulley, and make sure the belt has not "slipped" into the support channel of the tumbler. You will also need to check the wires and the belt switch 35001082 for damage and make sure the switch lever is being activated by the idler arm bracket. Thanks and Good Luck
