How do you release the tension to put on the belt?
For model number Fftw4120sw1
Hi Hollie,
Thank you for your question. This procedure may require 2 people. To adjust the tension on a belt, secure an adjustable wrench around the motor's mounting nut and then loosen it by turning the bolt counterclockwise. Then press the motor into the washing machine and downward or toward the edge of the appliance so that it is firmly in place. Then tighten the mounting nut by turning the wrench clockwise. Keep a finger on the belt. When you can depress it only about 1/2 inch with your thumb, you have reached proper tension. For more information on how to install the belt, here is a link to one of our videos from YouTube that you may reference on how to install the part, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCdErcRNdhk. The washer in the video may not show exactly like the one you have, but it will give you a general idea on how to install the part. We hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day.
