How Do You Change The Belt On A Washing Machine?
Washing machines are as essential in the American home as a refrigerator or microwave oven, maybe moreso. We throw the laundry in, add some soap and those magic machines deliver clean laundry about thirty minutes later. One day we toss the laundry in, add the soap, turn the dial and pull and nothing happens. The water goes in, but the machine does not go around and clean the clothes. So there we are with a machine full of dirty clothes and water and a problem somewhere. Maybe it’s a belt that is broken. Step 1 Move the washer out from the wall so you can remove the back. You may need another person to help move it because it is full of clothes and water. It would be easier to take the wet clothes out and put them in a pail or nearby laundry sink and then try to bail or pump the water out. It will be a messy operation, but easier in the long run. Step 2 Remove the back of the washer. Use screw drivers, nut drivers or hex head wrenches to remove the screws or fasteners on the back casing
