First off this is the most complicated belt I have ever installed and I have not done it enough to give you instructions on how to do it. With that being said there are instructions on how to replace the belt on the bag of the belt. There are two sets of instructions one tells you to drop the transmission. The first time I replace this belt I used that method and then the washer leaked at the tub seal. So naturally I recommend the other method.

I am sure this website has the belt for this machine.

thanks applianceman Im pretty good at replacing a belt on a car but I have never did it before on a machine. I have this machine for a long time and I turned the machine sideways to see what was wrong and i saw the smapped belt. I guess that the only problem with the machine. I would hate to buy a new machine when all it is , is the belt. I found the belt part and I am going to see if the belt is available in the nyc area and if not then I will order it from appliance parts
