How to Troubleshoot & Replace Ge AP3884128 / WH08X10024 Drive Belt

Took off the back and found the broken belt and wiggled the pulley which was loose. Removed pulley with an adjustable wrench. Replaced with new Drive Pulley and nut from Drive Pulley Kit. Put on Drive Belt by looping it over the motor pulley then getting it started by and on the drive pulley, zip tying the belt to the drive pulley, then rotating the drive pulley. The zip tie held the belt on until I got the drive pulley around so that the belt was fully on. Then I removed the zip tie, closed the cover and it was good to go. 

I followed the wonderful online video tutorials. The video repairman made installing the belt look easy. I struggled getting the belt on. It probably takes a little experience. 

I watched your easy to follow video which showed me just how easy it was. I ordered the pulley, and belt along with the nylon bolt (as recommended). The parts shipped quickly and I fixed it two days later. It was an easy 15-minute repair. It sounded so quiet and almost new after the repair. 

After reading the possible cause, I determined the Drive Pulley and Belt were probably to blame. After pulling the washer out from the wall, it was clear the belt was damaged as there was black residue on the back of the washer. After removing the panel, I could visibly see the pulley was no longer seated properly and had worn and the belt was not in good shape. Replacing the pulley was pretty easy. I did have to use a rubber mallet to install the new one and I believe this was due to mild wear to the shaft. Note, you will require a very large socket 24MM. It was easy to loosen and tighten. Installing the belt was not super easy. You have to start it on one side and rotate the pulley while having the belt also attached to the driver motor shaft. This took the most time to accomplish. Once completed, it worked flawlessly and the machine runs like new. Highly recommend watching the install video and the parts at Appliance Parts Pros. Thank you for saving me hundreds of dollars as I feel my washer will run for quite some time now and I am saved from buying a brand new one. 

I replaced the drive belt,the drive pulley and damper shocks,the video you guys provided was on par,thanks a bunch, 

I unscrewed the old nut and the pulley and discarded them. Then I installed the pulley and toghtened it with the new nut to a quarter turn after snug. Then to install the belt I used a trick I learned on the Internet, to tie a wire wrapp around the belt and pulley and make it tight, then put the belt around the motor pulley, then turned the tub pulley slowly till the belt was on both pullies. And voila...it was done in a couple of minutes. Good luck with your project. 

Worked with Joe M. in your Service Dept.He sent me directions on how to pull error codes from the machine and from that he thought I had a motor control issue.He first had me check the resistance on the motor windings and the Tach Sensor.The Tach Sensor failed the test, it showed open.So I ordered a new motor from Appliance Parts Pros.I ordered two day delivery on a Tuesday eve and had the part on Thursday as promised.I promptly put it in and my problem was resolved,the machine is now spinning and back to doing laundry.I'd like to thank Joe M. for a job well done,great service. 

Replaced parts above with help from video supplied by appliance pro. 

I fixed it myself 

I called repair shop and all of them said they it will cost me about 200 to 250 to fix this. so I decide go on line and check the appliancePartsPros.com. I find out how to open the back of washer to get access to belt. Saw the belt jam behind the pulley, remove the belt and also remove the pulley, pulley was lose and it was wear on the pulley hub, so I used some plumbing tape around the pulley hub and put back the belt. this is just a temporary fix until I ordered new belt and pulley. I got them 4 days later however I did not replace them yet. the washer still is working ;-)
