Section 5 Service Procedures
To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, explosion, serious injury or death:
• Disconnect electric power to the washer before servicing.
• Never start the washer with any guards/panels removed.
• Whenever ground wires are removed during servicing, these ground wires must be
reconnected to ensure that the washer is properly grounded.
IMPORTANT: Use care when releasing the idler
lever tension. If the idler spring or helper spring is
overstretched, washer operation will be affected.
m. 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 (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

WARNING
reinstalling complete tub assembly, idler lever is in
the way and could be damaged (bent), or idler
pulley could be chipped. A bent idler lever will
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.
