Dennis, When installing the drive belt you will put the belt around the motor pulley and then start it around the tub pulley. While holding it you will want to turn the tub pulley to allow it to slide over the pulley.

Leonard, Based on the description, this sounds like it would be caused by a faulty brake assembly which would require the transmission to be replaced. The transmission part number is 134737100.

Mike, a worn belt would slip and make noise at the start of a cycle, then once running the noise could cease. Also make sure the dryer and washer are not being overloaded, and that the machines are in a temperature controlled room, If the room gets too cold, the belts will get hard, and slip on the pulleys, until it warms up.

John, Yes the drive belt 134051003 could be stretched. It's not a very common issue, but it is possible. You also want to check the four(4) motor mount screws, and make sure they're tight, as well. Thanks

Hi Phil. No you will need to "Center the belt" part # 134051003 rides on the top pulley correctly. You do this by slowly adjusting it one rib back on the motor pulley. Then slowly turn the tub pulley both ways to help it realign itself correctly. I have seen them factory misaligned. Thank You.

Hello Dororthy. If the unit does not spins and just slowly turns during the spin cycle, it sounds like the door lock assembly 131763256 is bad on the unit and will need to be replaced. If it does not read bad to the board, the unit will wash and drain, but will not reach high speed spin.

Hello Kristy. You will need to remove the back access panel. Then place the belt onto the motor shaft and roll the belt 134051003 onto the spinner pulley. You will want the groved side of the belt to be down on the pulley. These are very tight to install, but can be done. Hope this helps.
