Assembled to the motor studs and se-
cured by locknuts are rubber isolators
and washers which sandwich nylon
washers and slides through slots in the
mounting plate. A nylon slide is attached
to the motor bottom, and a pivot spring
installs between the motor and mounting
plate.
In operation, the nylon washers and
slides ride in the slots in the mounting
plate, and the slide rides the mounting
plate. The motor is free to pivot in either
direction and the pivot spring assures
proper belt tension on the motor pulley.
The mounting plate has rubber mounting
cushions assembled to its rear
corners, and the entire assembly is
mounted to the washer base by
two (2) large hex head screws.
REMOVAL:
1. Disconnect the unit from the power
source.
2. Tip washer and remove drive belt.
3. Remove the front panel.
4. Remove the two (2) large hex head
screws which secure the motor and
plate assembly to the base.
5. Remove the screw which secures
the wiring clamp to the top of the
motor. Disconnect the necessary
wiring.
6. Remove the motor and plate assem-
bly from the base.
7. To separate the motor and plate as-
sembly, remove the motor pulley
and the two (2) lock nuts which se-
secure the components to the motor
studs.
, - - - - IMPORTANT--------,
After reassembling the motor to
the plate, be sure the nylon wash-
ers and slides move freely in the
radiused slots. In cases where
washers and slides do not move
freely, the sides of the slots may be
bent and require alignment. Check
the slots for a rough surface or for
oil and dirt which must be removed.
Jenn-Air washers are equipped with a
nylon/glass filled motor pulley. This
pulley is pressed onto the motor shaft
where splines formed inside the pulley
mesh with mating splines on the motor
shaft. Small barbed fingers molded onto
the front of the pulley hub, snap into a
groove located at the end of the motor
shaft.
