I have a question on how to adjust the belt on this washing machine. I replaced the drain pump and loosened the bolts on the motor to get the belt back on. Once I place tension on the belt and tighten the motor bolts, the tension doesn't stay tight. On this particular machine, there are plastic slides that hold the motor in place and it looks like maybe they are to move when the washer agitates and spins. It doesn't seem like I can tighten the bolts enough to keep the motor from sliding and lossening the tension. Does anyone know if this is the way it should be?

Thanks

The motor will float and should not be snug to the washer bottom plate. You should be able to replace the belt without any tools as the motor will slide to loosen the belt tension. Sounds like you are all set.

Thanks Brian, I just made the bolts tight enough so that the motor will float and it seemed to do the trick. Washer works fine.

Thanks again.
