I pushed the motor to its maximum with the four slots (as in jons phtos), it is now better,a technician told me that the idler solenoid should be in midway, it is about 25% , so when the solenoid is engaged the belt isn't loosen as it should be, but better than before, i completed a full normal...

Hi Jon, Yes i saw your post at first and then found your video in my long searches about my belt. But in your post you said that the belt model number is Q181623 which is exactly same as mine, i found one Q181625 sold as an equivalent but after several trial i came into conclusion that is is...

Well i can say it is a mix of neutral and spin drain, check the video above, when it is time to drain the solenoid engages and the belt is lquite loosen, so u can see the tub full of water starting to rotate (due to the friction of the belt) and when the water is almost drained the solenoid...

i'll try this possibility but there a nut in a very narrow place. no i don`t have the dryer,i saw you posted one in Kijiji but i am in Quebec city + i don't have space for it. By the way i am not a vintage washer collector, this is supposed to be my everyday and only washer, i moved last...

Thanks Phil, i think this is the conclusion the belt is may be few millimeters too short. Some one told me that the motor can be shifted to adjust the belt ?

Is is spinning to fast when it starts to drain and suddenly it stops (it is not supposed to) may be and overload ? is the Belt Q181623 equivalent to the Q182625 ? this can explain every thing if the belt is quiet shorter

I am not sure it is a neutral drain, as i saw on the video of a similar washer (link in a previous reply), i think it is a spin drain. yes the pump is mounted atop the motor. When the belt is mounted all around the three pulleys as in my diagram above, i had to push the spring to its maximum...

i tested a full washing cycle without the belt and the solenoid only energizes only when it is full of water and is pumping out, once the water is almost out, the solenoid is not energized. During washing, cool down, rinse and final spin the solenoid is not energized. So i believe that the role...

Today i will install the belt and i'll try both configurations, any suggeations ?

Any help ?

Spin drain ? i found this video on youtube it is almost the same washer as mine, may be 1 year before or after and as i can see it is a spin drain, so i think mine is a spin drain too, the author of the video had some posts here too about his belt and it had the same number...

The idler pulley is on the other side of the solenoid as in my diagram, your reasoning makes sence but needs a longer belt to do so. I bought the same belt length and asked the previous owner if he changed it before and he said no, so i think it is the original (40 years old may be !)' is there...

@golittlesport I think mine is spin drain too, the pump is working fine, without the belt every thing is perfect, only no rotation. @gizmo This is my question since the beginning the solenoid pulley runs on the outer or the inner side of the belt. I tried both with only water and in both...

It seems they were separated twins since birth :) No one replied about the belt

thank you cfz2882 and coldspot66, it is now more clear for me but what is neutral drain ? and is not normal that even the belt is quite loosen, the agitator is still spinning, because it tried it without clothes and when it was supposed draining with only water inside, the water started to spin...
