How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP6006365 / WP22003483 Washer Drive Belt

Followed the given video directions that are on AppliacePartsPros. I have three recommendations in addition to what they have posted 1) Replace all suspension springs and also the washer drive belt since you need to take them off to service the washer anyway. They all are parts that wear and are ready to be replaced when then snubber ring is worn. 2) Take the tub outside and wash upside down with a garden hose if you use powder detergent as you'll likely have "detergent caking" around the top and inside of the tub. 3) When reinstalling the Suspension Springs back into the washer start with the hardest to reach springs on the sides first as the more springs you add, the more tension you are working against. All in all a moderate fix that took about two hours to complete. The washer now runs just like new. I'm very glad that I replaced the springs and belt in addition to the snubber ring as all were worn. 

Replaced brake rotor and stater. 

I went to the Appliance Part Pro's website and received instruction on replacing the belt. They were very helpful. The belt arrived quite fast and the belt changing process was easy. 

Replaced it with one ordered from this site. Hardest part was just getting the washer apart. 

I went to Appliance Parts Pros and searched my model number for the problem. Everything pointed to the thrust bearing, and I ordered the kit. I also ordered a new drive belt.The repair video was very helpful. I was able to complete the repairs myself in under 30 minutes! The washer works like new! 

Viewed video on my make and model # of washer to try and figure out how to get the front cover off. Literally that was the most difficult part of the process. I couldn't figure out how to get the front cover off the machine to look at the guts.Once I saw how to get the cover off I could smell the motor and see that it was seized up. This was all happening on Sunday night. When I would turn the machine on I could hear humming coming from the motor and see that it was getting a signal to start but it wouldn't. It also had burning metal smell when I would do this which prompted me stop immediately so I wouldn't damage it further. I viewed the AppliancePartsPro video on changing out the motor and ordered it up as well as a new belt. I gotta say the delivery info they post on their website is accurate and correct which was most deliveries are made in 2 days. I ordered it on Monday morning and I received it Tuesday afternoon. Unbelievable! I watched the video one more time and followed it step by step and changed the motor and belt out in roughly and hour that night ! FANTASTIC. The video was dead on and didn't miss a step from beginning to end and the pricing was extremely competitive. Now we have clean clothes in less than 3 days and all I can say is "happy wife, happy life" end of story. 

Followed the instructions and the video - both excellent. 

Following the video posted here, I replaced the snubber ring and suspension springs as well as the belt while I was in there. The video instructions were clear and easy to follow using simple hand tools and 3 1-1/2" screws in 10-24 thread size. The factory snubber ring was torn badly from years of hard use. It now runs smoothly even with heavy loads! 

The site had an excellent short video showing the basic repair performed on a clean new-appearing washing machine. Most belt replacements will be on older machines with belts that have been slipping and shedding black powdery carbon-like material on floors covered with many years worth of lint. Cleaning away the sticky lint and black powder-like mess is not mentioned in the video. Most homeowners will want to clean. Soap and water will get it done. The motor slides to tension the belt. If the motor gets stuck the belt slips under heavy loads. Disassembling, cleaning and lubing the moving motor mounts corrects the problem. This is not mentioned in the video. The job is easy but takes time. Use a silicone lubricant. The owner's manual, located elsewhere, shows how to open the machine's front. Use a putty knife to push back latches at the top of the front panel, lift top to access screws located at the edges. Remove, and access the motor. 

Recieved parts as scheduled. Replaced Drain Pump Assembley, simple job. Changing the Subber Ring was a different story. The only real problem here was removing and replacing the six springs. I'm glad I go to the gym 5 days a week, the biggest problem was the back two springs. I didn't have a trap door in the back so I had to reach the from the front. YOUR Video DID WARM OF THIS. Putting a new belt was also an easy job. The washed is like new again. THANKS TO YOUR HELP. Ken Stohr
