Belt Tensioner Springs
Here are a couple photos of the bottom of the Maytag that I forgot to post. I took these as I was unloading it from the truck, back when I first brought it home. I cleaned up all that fuzzy grime, after the photos, with a vacuum cleaner.
In looking at the photos, it is evident that I have to get to the motor springs from up above. Are there any tricks to removing the body in order to get in there? I believe I have only ever removed the body from a washing machine once lol. And it was years ago.
What about that bit of oil on the large pulley? Does that look like enough of a leak to be of concern? Perhaps causing the belt to slip, resulting in the anemic spin?
Last night the timer enjoyed a fully successful cycle, so she'll be all ready to go into service once I solve the spin problem.
Are there any other things I should do before putting this machine into service?
Thanks,
Keith
