e.
Reach
in through
front
of
motor mounting
bracket
and
move
idler lever
to left to
release
tension on

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,
reacll in and
around right side of motor and run belt off
right
side of
pulley.
IMPORT
ANT: When removing or reinstalling
complete module assembly into
~asher
(with
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 removing or
reinstalling
complete tub assembly, idler lever
is
in the way and can be damaged (bent), or
idler
pulley could be chipped. A bent idler_ lever
wil~
cause misalignment of idler pulley with the drive
belt, and a chipped
idler
pulley will damage belt.
We recommend that before removing or
reinstalling the complete assembly, you unhook
idler spring and helper spring and move idler
lever out of the way. This will prevent the
possibility of idler lever or pulley damage
