The part arrived by surprise in the mail instead of by Purolator. I hope future orders could be sent by Canada Post instead of courier consider the location of my residence.

Nutdriver
To diagnose, first I unhooked the washer: power, water supply, and drain pipe. I then slid the washer out, laying it on its front. With nutdriver, I unscrewed two screws that held the other end of the drain tube and removed it completely. Then, again with the nutdriver removed 4 screws from the back near the legs, two in between the leg
... Read mores in the middle, and approx. 4 to 6 on the bottom. This let me pull the bottom off partially to access the motor area. (I did did not take the bottom completely off, only about 2/3 off and let it bend over, as it was flexible tin) The belt was broken. After receiving the new belt, I positioned it between the pulley and the motor and between the drum and the big pulley. Then I rotated the big pulley, pulling the belt onto it as I rotated. At the same time, as I rotated, I pulled the other end of the belt on to the little pulley. Once it was on, I would put pressure on it as I turned the pulley, to jump the belt to the appropriate grooves on the little pulley. Note: the replacement belt had been modified, so it had one less groove than the pulley. I would have known this if I had read the insert that came with the belt first! Anyway, this was not a problem, only a design change. Also it was important to start the belt on the inside, so if it slipped, you didnt loose your bite. Total diagnostic, repair, and reassembly time: 30 minutes plus or minus. I had read other online forums that said you had to loosen the motor, etc. And I do know some type of a belt installation tool was offered on line, but I got along fine with my installation method. An extra set of hands would have been helpful, but not necessary.

I used a butter knife to pop plastic clips that hold the front panel to the top panel, one clip on each side of front cover. I never thought the new belt was going to fit, it barely fit on the big pulley, much less around the small pulley too. It needs to be stretched a lot to get it on.. but it will fit :)

When disassembling I could not remove the 1 3/4" tub nut with in house tools and had to order the spanner wrench. Almost mandatory unless you have a socket wrench.
I removed the front cover and the top cover. Then I unplugged all the,wires and removed the hangers. Then removed tub and drum together out the front. After beating on the tub nut for 2 hours and drenching it in liquid wrench I realized that the,tub nut was not going to release. Yes I was turning it clockwise. I bring out my chisel and ha

Gilbert - For model number WCRE6270G0CC

Hello, we just purchased a 6- rib drive belt, a drain pump assembly, and agitator coupling to rectify my washer spin problem. I installed all these parts but regrettable these parts did not fix the spinning problem i am back to square one. It spins slowly and never picks up momentum to spin dry the clothes. Therefore, the spin cycle leaves the clothes wet to where they need to be wrung out due to the amount of water that is still left in the clothes. What do you recommend i do to fix the problem. I'am at the end of my rope. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Gilbert,
Thank you for your question. I would suggest testing your door switch. If your door switch is malfunctioning, it will not allow your machine to go into the spin cycle because that would be a safety hazard as the machine thinks that the door is open. I would also suggest testing your drain pump as well. If both of those parts are fine, you may have to look into checking your motor. Good luck with your repair.

Hello, we purchased the belt, replaced it and it worked. However, within the last few days, the washer will do 2-3 loads no problem, then it doesn't work again, all day. Then in the evening bam! It spins again. Please advise. Thank you.
Hello Norma, thank you for your question. I would recommend checking the lid switch assembly first. If the switch is functioning intermittently, the unit might work for a few loads then stop, then work again. That is the part Lid Switch with Wire Harness PartSelect Number: PS1482372. If that part is tested and is functioning properly, you will want to check the Shaft & Drive Tube Assembly Part Number: PS3652839 as well as the Drive Motor and Inverter Assembly PartSelect Number: PS8746234. I hope this helps!

How can you tell if the motor has gone out on the washer? It won't spend or agitate. And the belt is good.
Hello Keith, Thank you for the question. With a defective motor you can at times smell a burning or hear a hum noise coming from the motor. You can also test it with a multi meter to check continuity. Hope this helps!

It spins but when it come to the 4 minute faster speed it slows down for that last cycle instead of speeding up. I sprayed some belt dressing on the belt but it didn't help. I tried the 6 minute drain and spin and when it got to the 4 minute it slowed down just the same.
Hi Jerry,
Thank you for your inquiry. If you are having an issue with the washer not spinning correctly there are a few parts you will need to check. You will need to check the drain pump, the tub dampening strap, the split ring,the hub washer, the tub seal, the tub bearing, the shaft and mode shifter assembly and the tub bearing. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Washer won’t agitate or spin. Sometimes it will try to agitate but it barely moves. It did spin for me once yesterday, but stopped again altogether. It fills and drains just fine. What part should i get?
Hello Brad, Thank you for the question. I suggest checking the Belt, PartSelect Number PS1482278 to see if it is wore out and slipping or is lose. You can also check the Agitator Coupling, PartSelect Number PS1482517 for damage or wear. Hope this helps, good luck with this repair!
everything works fine, but noticing very slight petro? type smell best we can tell during spin cycle. it does go away. clothes smell fine. opened cabinet no leaks. it is not a burnt smell any thoughts??
Hi Handy, thank you for contacting us. Washing machines have various moving parts that require lubrication to function smoothly. If there is a slight smell of petroleum, it is possible that some lubricant has leaked onto a hot surface, such as the motor or a spinning component, causing it to emit an odor. Check for any signs of oil or lubricant leakage around the shaft and mode shifter assembly, part number PS2354082. We hope this is helpful!
Not spinning all the water out. I have removed all the hoses from the pump to check for clogs but have not found anything. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Hi Ian, thank you for getting in touch. Based on the description that you have provided, we would recommend replacing the drain pump, part number PS3654194, to fix the issue. It removes water from the washer during the drain portion of the cycle. Glad to be of help!
