On this model the belt is on the very bottom and drives the pump and transmission. There seems to be a spring loaded idler pulley hard to see or get at from the front (front panel off). The belt squeals loudly and seems a bit loose. A dose of belt dressing quiets it down for several loads but the squeal comes back. Maybe the belt has streched? Is there a way to tighten the belt or is the tension from the spring loaded idler pulley the only tightening method allowed? What is the proper procedure for changing the belt?
