Pulley Bearings Siezed; Pump Quit
Turned it over to my 35-year old son who removed pump and pulley assembly and the old drive belt, then simply replaced with new assembly and belt from PartSelect! Could not have been easier - from my viewpoint.

Under belt was used and ready to let go..
First I am a woman and was able to do it, and if I can do it anyone should be able to do this. The service call alone was 75.00, and the belt was 23.00 with shipping. First we tilted the washer at a 45 degree angle and I removed the belt, and just rolled the newer one on the track. That was it and I was done. My washer now purrs like a kitten love it. And Part Select sent out my part and I recieved it next day, thank you for wonderful service that kind of service is hard to find. <3

Water would not drain and tub would not spin.
I had to raise the top of the washer and take off the front pannel. It was not too hard to replace the pump except that it was in the back corner and it was hard to reach the bolts to remove and install the new pump.

Had some difficulty placing pulley back in place
Laid washer on its side, released five of the six tub springs, then removed the dive belt and the main pulley. With some effort removing the old snubber ring, placed the new snubber in place. After fighting with the large spring under the pulley I was able to replaced the six screws with the help of an assistant. Replaced the pulley, belt and the five springs. Closed the unit up and placed all the hoses back in place. I was amazed at how smooth the washer functioned with no vibration at all! Thank You.

Belt was frayed and pump was leaking.
I removed the back panel and then removed the old pump. After attaching the new pump I flipped the machine and attached the new belt. I put everything back together and voila, the machine works.

Washer shook and danced on basement floor
I found on-line that replacing the snubber ring may fix the problem and ordered the part. With the instructions also downloaded I started taking the washer apart. Without the instructions the task would have been more difficult and possibly disastrous as I might have taken the bolts out that tighten down the snubber ring. All went well with a little patience. The washer works good.

My washer had stopped turning. It wouldn't wash or spin but the moter was still working.
We're not repair people. So when calling around for the replacement belt no one had it. Everyone said that the belt went to a dryer. We simply inspected the machine. Located the worn belt which was on the bottom of the washer machine went online and ordered the belt. Thank you so much you guys really saved me. I will always recommend you all to everyone that I know. Your system works Great! Thanks Part Select!
