25. BRAKE ASSEMBLY
a. Remove two screws from bottom edge of
front panel, Figure 21.
b. Pull bottom of panel away from washer until
hold-down clips (located on top ilange ot
panel) disengage from slots in cabinet top,
Figure 21 .
c. Hinge cabinet top or remove, paragraph 18.
d. Loosen hose clamp and disconnect filler hose
from outer tub cover, Figure 37.
NOTE: When reinstalling filler hose, the white line
on hose that connects to tub cover must be
aligned with line located on top side of outer tub
cover, Figure 37.
e. Reach in through front of motor mounting
bracket and move idler lever to left to release
tension on belt.
IMPORTANT: Use care when releasing idler lever
tension. If idler lever spring, or helper spring, are
overstretched, washer operation will be affected.
f. While holding idler lever, reach in and around
right side of motor and run belt off right side
of pulley.
IMPORTANT: When removing or reinstalling
complete outer tub into washer
(~ith
transmission, balance ring and pivot dome
attached), damage could occur to idler lever if
idler spring and helper spring are left hooked to
motor mounting bracket.
With idler spring and helper spring hooked to
motor mounting bracket, idler lever extends out
through rear of bracket. When remo~ing or .
reinstalling complete tub assembly, idler lever 1s
in the way and can be damaged (bent), or idler
pulley could be chipped. A bent idler_ lever_ will
cause misalignment of idler pulley with drive belt,
and a chipped idler pulley will damage belt.
We recommend that before removing or
reinstalling the complete assembly, you
~nhook
idler spring and helper spring and move idler
lever out of the way. This will prevent possibility
of idler lever or pulley damage.

i. Remove pressure hose from pressure
bulb. Then remove tape holding pressure
hose to outer tub, Figure 52.
j.
Grasp outer tub and lift complete tub m.odule
assembly (with transmission , balance ring,
and pivot dome attached) straight up and out
of washer cabinet.
k . Turn complete tub module upside-down

Figure 50.
n. Lift drive pulley up and out from between tub
support legs .
NOTE: When reinstalling pulley, place a small
amount of No. 03200 Lubricant on top side of
drive pulley that will be contacting large fl~t
washer. Lubricate helix ramps and bore with a
small amount of No. 03200 Lubricant. See
Figure 51.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT OVER LUBRICATE!
Excess lubricant can be thrown into pivot dome
area during normal washer operation. Any
lubricant on the 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.
IMPORTANT: Two large flat washers must be in
place between spring and drive pulley when
reassembling. Thicker washer must contact top
side of drive pulley. See Figure 51 for assembly
sequence.
NOTE: When reassembling, place a small amount
of No. 03200 Lubricant to top side of drive pulley
that will be contacting the large flat washer.
Lubricate helix ramps and bore with a small
amount of No. 03200 Lubricant. See Figure 51.
