How Do You Replace A Belt On An Amana Washer?
If your washer is squealing or the tub has ceased to turn, the belt probably needs to be replaced. The washer does not have to be moved for this repair because the belt can be accessed from the front panel. Replacing the belt is not that difficult if you first remove a few mechanical components that are in the way. Unplug the washing machine power cord from the wall outlet. Remove the two screws located at the front lower corners of the front panel by turning them in a counterclockwise direction with a Philips screwdriver. Grasp the panel at both sides and simultaneously pull the bottom out while sliding the top out of its slots. Remove the panel and set it aside. Remove the left-hand spring that attaches the chassis to the tub framework. Use a pair of vise grips attached to just below the hook at the top of the spring and carefully lift the spring hook out of the hole. Set the spring aside. Unplug the wiring plug from the motor by pressing in on the tab on the wiring harness connector
