• Replaces a broken, stretched, or glazed belt that slips under load
• Common symptoms: no spin or no agitation, weak/slow spin, squealing, burning-rubber odor, visible cracks or fraying
• Helps ensure smooth, consistent tub movement and complete cycles

• Disconnect power and water; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Access the belt from the bottom or rear, per your model's service procedure
• Release belt tension (motor carriage/idler), remove the old belt, and route the new belt around the motor and drive pulleys as shown on the unit
• Rotate by hand before restoring power and running a test cycle
