Drive Belt; Drain Pump - GE WHSB9000B Series Technical Service Manual

Drive Belt

The drive belt (P/N WH1X2026) is located under
the leg and platform assembly. It extends from the
motor pulley to the transmission pulley. To adjust
the belt, loosen the 4 motor mounting nuts and
slide the motor forward until the belt is tight, then
retighten the nuts.
Note: Proper belt tension is 1/2-in. deflection at
midpoint between pulleys.

Drain Pump

Warning:
• The pump may not be grounded. Unplug the
unit before servicing to avoid electric shock.
• The pump may begin operation without any
advanced notice.
The drain pump is coupled to a 120 VAC, 60 Hz,
1.8 amp motor. The pump will operate
independently of other mechanical components,
and will evacuate water at various times during all
cycles.
The pump receives L1 voltage directly from the
plug and is switched on and off at the electronic
control board (neutral side). When the electronic
control board has closed the neutral side of the
pump circuit (commanding the pump to run), the
board measures the current of the pump and uses
the measurements to determine if the pump is
pumping water or air.
To remove the pump:
Note: Water will remain in hoses even when the
tub appears empty. Use care to avoid water spills.
1. Lower the drain hose into a small bucket to
remove any water remaining in hose.
2. Remove the front panel (see procedure).
3. Disconnect the lead wires.
4. Pinch off the black sump hose to prevent
water spills.
5. Remove hose clamps and hoses from the
pump.
6. Remove 2 (3/8-in.) screws and the pump.
