Unplug the power cord of the Kenmore 70 series washer from
the electrical outlet before attempting to replace the drive belt.
Remove the end caps from the control console by pushing in on the center
of the caps with your thumbs and pulling the caps forward.
2
Unfasten the screws on the front of the control console with a
screwdriver and set the screws aside. Flip the control console back so
it is resting against the rear hinges.
3
Locate the two-pronged electrical plug on the top of the
washer near the back and unfasten it by pulling the plug straight up by
hand. Remove the metal clips on the top of the washer, prying them up
with a screwdriver and setting them out of the way.
4
Lift the washer cabinet off the base and set it aside. Locate
the motor at the base of the cabinet near the front and unhook the
springs from the motor carriage with a pair of pliers.
5
Unbolt the motor from the motor carriage, using a socket
wrench to unfasten the bolts. Unplug the electrical wiring harness from
the motor by hand.
6
Lift the motor off the motor carriage and take the drive belt
off the motor and transmission pulleys, discarding the belt. Place the
new drive belt around the transmission and motor pulleys.
7
Plug the electrical wiring harness into the motor by hand and
secure the motor to the motor carriage with the bolts. Attach the
springs to the motor carriage by hand.
8
Place the washer cabinet back over the base and secure it
with the metal clips on the top lid. Connect the two-pronged electrical
plug to the top lid of the washer by hand.
9
Flip the control console back down over the washer lid and
secure the console with screws in the front. Place the caps back over
the ends of the control console by hand.
10
Plug the Kenmore 70 series washer into the electricity supply and test wash.
have fun
