Figure 20.
b. Pull bottom of panel away from washer until
hold-down clips (located on top flange of
panel) disengage from slot3 in cabinet top.
IMPORTANT: There will always be some water that
will remain in outer tub, therefore, before
removing hoses from pump, hoses must be
pinched
off or drained to prevent water spillage.
c. Loosen hose clamps and remove hoses from
pump assembly, Figure
21.
d. Unhook idler spring from clip on front of motor
mounting bracket,

e. Reach in and around right side of motor and
run belt off right side of large drive pulley,
Figure 21.
f. Disconnect wire harness from motor switch
by pressing down
on locking tab on top of
connection block and at the same time pull
connection block away from motor switch,
Figure 22.
g. Remove four screws holding motor and
mounting bracket to washer base, Figure 22,
then lift complete assembly out of washer.
IMPORTANT: Carefully lay motor on its side.
Observe
belt configuration around rear pump leg.
Belt MUST encircle rear pump leg when
reassembling, Figure 23.
PUMP AND BELT REP'OVAL
a. Remove three screws holding pump
assembly
to motor, Figure 23.
REASSEMBLY OF PUMP AND BELT
IMPORTANT: Install pump and belt together. Drive
belt MUST be replaced with belt No. 28808
(special clutch-type belt)
for proper washer
operation.
a. Clean any corrosion or foreign material from
motor shaft that will be contacting the double
"D" slot
in pump impeller.
b. Apply a thin film of No. 03637P Lubricant to
end and sides
of motor shaft. This lubricant
helps keep moisture out of the hub area and
retards corrosion.
c. Align pump impeller hub with motor shaft.
Make sure belt encircles rear pump leg,
carefully push pump onto motor shaft
so three
pump legs bottom out
in the embosses on
motor housing before screws are tightened,
Figure 23.
d. Tighten three screws to 35 inch-pounds
(4.0 N-m) maximum DO NOT overtighten
screws!
e. Reinstall motor and pump assembly into
washer.
IMPORTANT: After installing motor and pump
assembly in washer and all hoses have been
reconnected, add at least a
quart of water to
washtub to lubricate pump seals. Running a pump
without water will ruin its seals_

15. IDLER LEVER AND PULLEY
a. Remove two screws from bottom edge of
front panel, Figure 20.
b. Pull bottom of panel away from washer until
hold-down clips (located on top flange of
panel) disengage from slots in cabinet top.
IMPORTANT: There will always be some water that

removing hoses from pump, hoses must
be
pinched off or drained to preventwater spillage.
c. Loosen hose clamps and remove hoses from
pump assembly, Figure 21.
d. Unhook idler spring (and helper spring, if
present) from idler lever, Figure 24.
IMPORTANT: Use care when removing (helper
3pring, if present) and idler spring. II idler spring
(or helper spring,
if present) are overstretched,
washer operation will be affected.

f. Disconnect wire harness from motor switch
by pressing down on locking tab on top of
connection block and at the same time pull

Figure 22.
g. Remove four screws holding motor assembly

NOTE: Reier to Figure 24 for idler lever and pulley
assembly sequence.
i. Apply a light film of No. 03637P Lubricant to
area of idler lever tr1t makes contact with
motor mounting bracket.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT O\tlER LUBRICATE!
Excess lubricant can be thrown into pivot dome
area
during normal washer operation. Any
lubricant on pivot dome or snubber pad and
isolator assembly will cause premature tripping of
the out-of-balance switch. This condition will
persist until lubricant is removed.
