Hieja,

You're at the wrong end of the machine.

You change the belt from the front, not the back.

*** disconnect power, or unplug the line cord from the outlet ***

1) Remove the filter from the chute, and the 2 screws that secure the chute
to the top.

2) Raise the top of the cabinet(2 spring clips hold the top to the front
panel)

3) Remove the two screws near the top of the interior panel, that hold the
front panel to the cabinet,(you may need to remove 2 screws from the
lower area of the front panel, if present,the panel may have hidden
clips).

4) Disconnect the door switch wire harness, lean the top of panel forward
The drum slide(s) will disengage the drum and lift up and out to remove
the panel.

5) Lift up on the idler pulley assembly and lift belt off of the motor pulley.

6) Reverse procedure to install belt,cabinet parts and test unit for
operation.

Part number: AP2946843

Good Luck,
