This part helps transfer power from the motor to the drum and keeps the rotational force to tumble and clean your laundry.\r\n\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\nIf a failing belt seems like a daunting problem, don\u2019t worry. By replacing it yourself, you can save a significant amount of money and hassle.\r\n\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\nIf you need a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/maytag-washer-belt.html\"><strong>replacement belt for your Maytag washer<\/strong><\/a>, you can use your model number to find what you need at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/\"><strong>AppliancePartsPros.com<\/strong><\/a><strong>.<\/strong> We also have thousands of free DIY troubleshooting and repair guides to help you fix your washer yourself.\r\n\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/2tkGkJDuN30\"><strong>Watch: How to replace a washer drive belt<\/strong><\/a>\r\n\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading -->\r\n\r\n[lwptoc numeration=\"none\"]\r\n<p style=\"font-size:14.5px;margin:14px 0;font-family:system-ui,-apple-system,sans-serif\"><a href=\"#app-safety-notes\">Full safety notes below<\/a><\/p>\n\n<h2>What is the belt &amp; why would it need to be replaced?<\/h2>\r\n<!-- \/wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\nBefore we dive into the replacement process, let\u2019s unpack why the belt is such an important component in your Maytag washer. The belt connects the motor to the transmission pulley, which translates the motor's power into the rotational force that turns the drum.\r\n\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\nOver time, however, the belt can become worn, stretched, or even cracked due to the constant stress and friction it endures. When this happens, the belt can slip or break entirely, which prevents the drum from spinning correctly. If the belt snaps, you\u2019ll likely hear it since it makes a very loud noise.\r\n\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/12-diy-leak-tests-fixes-to-lower-your-water-bill\/\"><strong>READ MORE: 12 Easy DIY Ways to Lower Your Water Bill<\/strong><\/a>\r\n\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading -->\r\n<h2>What you need<\/h2>\r\n<!-- \/wp:heading --> <!-- wp:list -->\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>A 5\/16-inch socket wrench<\/li>\r\n \t<li>A replacement drive belt- Take your model number to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/\"><strong>AppliancePartsPros.com<\/strong><\/a> to locate the correct part for your unit.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>A flashlight or work light<\/li>\r\n \t<li>A flathead screwdriver (optional, for prying or adjusting parts as needed)<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<!-- \/wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/how-to-deep-clean-a-washing-machine\/\"><strong>READ MORE: How to Deep Clean a Washing Machine<\/strong><\/a>\r\n[\/av_textblock]\r\n\r\n[av_hr class='default' icon_select='yes' icon='ue808' position='center' shadow='no-shadow' height='50' custom_border='av-border-thin' custom_width='50px' custom_margin_top='30px' custom_margin_bottom='30px' custom_border_color='' custom_icon_color='' av-desktop-hide='' av-medium-hide='' av-small-hide='' av-mini-hide='' id='' custom_class='' av_uid='av-n9sg0']\r\n\r\n[av_image src='https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Copy-of-Copy-of-Copy-of-Copy-of-Copy-of-Copy-of-Copy-of-Copy-of-Copy-of-Copy-of-IMAGE-TEMPLATE-FOR-BLOG-7-1500x430.jpg' attachment='7941' attachment_size='featured' copyright='' caption='' styling='' align='center' font_size='' overlay_opacity='0.4' overlay_color='#000000' overlay_text_color='#ffffff' animation='no-animation' hover='' appearance='' link='' target='' title_attr='' alt_attr='' lazy_loading='disabled' id='' custom_class='' av_element_hidden_in_editor='0' av_uid='av-lu763hiu' admin_preview_bg=''][\/av_image]\r\n\r\n[av_hr class='default' icon_select='yes' icon='ue808' position='center' shadow='no-shadow' height='50' custom_border='av-border-thin' custom_width='50px' custom_margin_top='30px' custom_margin_bottom='30px' custom_border_color='' custom_icon_color='' av-desktop-hide='' av-medium-hide='' av-small-hide='' av-mini-hide='' id='' custom_class='' av_uid='av-4av0kg']\r\n\r\n[av_textblock size='' av-medium-font-size='' av-small-font-size='' av-mini-font-size='' font_color='' color='' id='' custom_class='' av_uid='av-lu75dpup' admin_preview_bg='']\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<h2>Keep safety first<\/h2>\r\n<!-- \/wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\nWhen working on any appliance, always keep safety first to avoid personal injury or damage to the appliance or parts. Here are some safety tips to keep in mind:\r\n\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list -->\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Always power off and unplug your appliance or switch off the circuit breaker before you attempt any maintenance or replacement work. This keeps you safe by preventing any risk of electric shock.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Turn off the water supply at the outlet before beginning repairs. Keep towels ready to catch any residual water in the system when removing parts.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>If the appliance has recently been used, give it plenty of time to cool down before working on it.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Take your time while working to prevent accidents and personal injuries. Rushing is the enemy of precision.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Work in a well-lit area so you can clearly see and access appliance parts.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Keep your workspace free of clutter and other obstacles. Keep children and pets away from the work area.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Never work on internal parts with wet hands. Make sure the work area is completely dry.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Check the user manual to see if there are specific installation or safety instructions related to your appliance or replacement part.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Be gentle when handling or removing parts. Excessive force might damage the appliance or cause personal injury.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Wear insulated work gloves to protect your hands from sharp metal parts and debris.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<!-- \/wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/seven-steps-to-master-your-laundry-day-a-complete-guide\/\"><strong>READ MORE: Seven Steps to Master Your Laundry Day<\/strong><\/a>\r\n\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading -->\r\n<h2>How to replace the belt<\/h2>\r\n<!-- \/wp:heading --> <!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\r\n<h3>Step 1 - Access the belt<\/h3>\r\n<!-- \/wp:heading --> <!-- wp:list {\"ordered\":true} -->\r\n<ol>\r\n \t<li>Turn off the washer and disconnect it from the power supply.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Turn off the water supply to the washer and disconnect the hoses.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Lean the washer back so you can access the bottom.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Find the belt cover or shield, which is typically located at the bottom of the washer.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Use your 5\/16-inch socket wrench to remove the bolts that hold the belt shield in place.

If the belt is particularly stubborn or stuck in place, you can use a flathead screwdriver or other tool to gently pry the belt off.\r\n\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\nBe careful not to force or twist the belt excessively since this could cause further damage or create debris that could interfere with the new belt once it\u2019s installed.\r\n\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/whats-a-full-load-of-laundry-a-guide-to-efficient-washing\/\"><strong>READ MORE: WHAT\u2019S A FULL LOAD OF LAUNDRY?

You may need to use a flathead screwdriver or other tool to help work the belt into place, but remember to be gentle to avoid damaging the new belt.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Make sure the new belt is aligned and has good tension. The belt should be taut but not overly tight, and it should sit squarely on the pulleys without any twists or kinks.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<!-- \/wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\nIf you encounter any difficulties or resistance during the installation process, stop and double-check your work.
