• Mounts on the transmission shaft and transfers motor power through the drive belt
• Enables proper tub movement during agitate and spin cycles
• Wear or damage can cause squealing or grinding noises, or a burning rubber smell
• May lead to poor/no spin or agitation, or the drive belt slipping off

• Disconnect power and wear gloves; safely tip or raise the washer for bottom access
• Remove the drive belt, then the pulley's retaining hardware; install the new pulley and secure hardware
• Reinstall the belt with correct routing; replace a worn belt at the same time
• Spin the pulley by hand to ensure free movement and alignment before testing

This pulley nut secures the washing machine's drive pulley to its shaft, helping keep the belt aligned so the basket can agitate and spin smoothly. Replacing a worn or missing nut helps prevent pulley wobble and belt issues. What it does:

• Fastens the drive pulley securely to the shaft
