Hi everyone,
My washer is having some trouble agitating. It will give a few agitations and then start clicking. I thought it might be due to the belt because the belt is very worn indeed. In fact I have the belt on hand because I chickened out from changing it a few years ago when I thought I would have to drop the transmission to do it.
I have done a bit of maintenance on old Kenmore dryers but this is the first major work I will do on an old washer. I have found a few threads on how to change the belt and was wondering what the drawbacks of each approach would be.
If I put the washer on its front is oil going to spill out of the transmission?
Should I try to change the belt without dropping the transmission? I read about a method where you remove the support brackets and spacer but don't drop the transmission.
Is there anything else I should do any maintenance on while I am changing the belt?
Thanks
