We ordered a new belt from partselect and got it a day early. I tried to pry the belt on without loosening up anything. I couldn't get it.

Removed the back of the machine and then flipped the machine on the side and loosened the motor to get the old belt off.

So to fix that we unplugged the motor assembly and took it out. I also had to ... Read more fish the spring out of the vacuum, no small task. The worst part was that the belt was so deteriorated that it was super greasy and the carpet ended up a mess. We replaced the motor and belt and now it actually gets the water out of the clothes.
