Nya May 13, 2023 for Model Number LW6143LM/PLW6143LMA Can you run the washer without the belt and what will happen if I do?
1 Answer Nya, The machine uses the belt to connect the motor to the drain pump and the gearcase. Without the belt all the unit will do is fill. Read More...
1 Answer Nya, If the belt keeps coming off then the pulleys and idler would need to be checked. If they are seizing up or dropping down it throws the belt off. Read More...

Scott March 08, 2016 for Model Number Sm8525079 I have a whirlpool SM8525079. I just took it apart to replace the motor coupler. I noticed what looks like a belt, sitting above the transmission, but can't see anything it would attatch too. Is it just a spacer? Over all length is maybe 15 inches or so.
1 Answer Scott, We would need to have a model number to assist properly but this would be a direct drive unit and the part that you are seeing is like a felt seal of sorts but is not a required part. Read More...
1 Answer Hello Lee. Make sure the belt is behind the idler pulley and it is putting the tension on the belt. Also, washer belts are suppose to slip for the unit to work properly. It should not be super tight. Thanks. Read More...
1 Answer Hello Ed. Your model is a direct drive model and does not have a belt. Instead it uses a motor coupler part# 285753A. There is a video on that part page that should help. Read More...
Alyssa F October 11, 2013 for Model Number LW8203W I received the belt I ordered today. I have the belt removed from the large drive pulley. I have the wire harness disconnected from the motor. I have the hoses removed from the pump. I'm unsure what to do next. Do I remove the pump and, if so, how does it detach? The pulleys are above the pump and I don't see a way to remove the belt.
1 Answer Alyssa, To remove the belt you will need to pull the motor and pump assembly off the unit. Once you have the belt from around the pulley on the transmission, remove the 4 screws that hold the motor in place. Once out flip the motor over and remove the 3 screws that hold the pump onto the motor. These 3 screws should be a #20 torx head screw. Once the screws are removed lift off the pump and remove the old belt and install the new one and reinstall. Read More...

Roy W. May 03, 2012 for Model Number AWM371W2 I put a new belt on ever since I put the belt on seems like the moter is getting hot, and when it hits spin cycle, it stops all together. I dont know if I got the belt on wrong or not. Please email me back.
1 Answer Hello Roy. It sounds like the belt is installed properly and the issue with the unit is the tub bearing WP40004201P is bad and is binding the unit up. It sounds like you will need to replace the main bearing in the unit. Read More...

Remove service access panel, see “Service Access Panel” procedure.
