Unplug your dryer from the electrical outlet. Remove the lint trap by lifting its cover and sliding it out. Use a screwdriver to unscrew the two screws that hold in the housing of the lint trap.Lift up the top panel of the dryer and take off the holder for the door switch wire. Look for the screws that hold in the front panel of the dryer, located on top of the front panel, and unscrew them. Take the panel off the dryer by lifting it off.Look inside the dryer, find the broken dryer belt, and before taking it off, note the way it is routed around the pulleys, then take it off. Install a new Whirlpool dryer belt by slipping it around the tumbler with the grooves facing the surface of the tumbler. Ask an assistant to hold up the tumbler while you move the belt into the proper place, aligned with the black line around the width of the tumbler.Wrap the new dryer belt around the pulleys as noted in Step 3. If you don't remember how, or the old belt was snapped and not aligned properly, look at the dryer belt diagram in your user's manual.Align the front panel of the dryer with the tumbler. Put back in the two screws that hold the panel in place. Open the door of your dryer and with your hand, turn the spinner one time counterclockwise. Reconnect the holder for the door switch wire, being careful that it doesn't touch any moving parts.Use the screwdriver to carefully position the rubber seal along the back of the tumbler. Make sure the seal is on the outside of the tumbler and that none of it sticks to the inside of the tumbler.Slide the lint filter and housing back into place, and screw in the two screws that hold it in. Plug the cord of the dryer back into the electrical outlet and check that it spins properly.

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Disable the SIR (air bag) system, as outlined in the Chassis Electrical Section.
3. Remove the steering column trim covers.

2. The tumblers will not immediately seat into position because the sidebar has been pre-assembled. The tumblers will have to be pushed past the sidebar with a small flat screwdriver or pocket knife.
3. The tumbler springs (2) should then be inserted into the spring wells in the cylinder (4) where they will sit on top of the tumblers.
4. The seal plate (1) will be installed and crimped.
5. Insert the seal plate locator legs into the receptacle slots in the cylinder--seal plate will seat into position only when the two locator legs have been properly inserted into the receptacles on the cylinder.
6. While holding the seal plate in position with the thumb, insert the key into the cylinder and watch for the side bar to drop. If the side bar does not drop, the lock is tumbled wrong and you need to start over.
7. Ensure that the side bar does not drop on an angle. The side bar must be completely flush to the cylinder diameter.
8. Stake (1) the two metal areas of the cylinder (2) directly over the seal plate legs with a hammer and punch or chisel.

9. Repeat this stake on the areas of the cylinder directly opposite of the first to stakes.
   NOTE Actuator blade within the ignition module must be in ACC position to install the lock cylinder assembly. If rotated, reposition the actuator blade to the ACC position using needle nose pliers.
   
10. Insert key into ignition lock cylinder and install the cylinder into the lock housing.
11. Rotate the lock cylinder in the housing. Verify proper rotation.
12. Install the steering column trim covers.
13. Enable the SIR system.
14. Connect the negative battery cable.

no you dont. if you r u talking about the tumbler you only need 2 take off the plastic around the column then u put the key in turn it like u want 2 start it then push in a pin @ the top or bottom around the tumbler then pull out the tumbler. if your talking about the ignition its lower on the column take platic off around it, then its the square lil box with all the wires plugged in2 it unplug wires and pull of prob 2 screws hold it on

You need to put the key in and turn it to the run position.Then put a seal pick or a small pin punch into the access hole in the side of the tumbler housing,push in on it and pull out the tumbler.

Put the bel around the tumbler first, then around the motor pulley, and finally put the farthest part of the belt at the pulley around the tensioner. Good luck.

Actually check around the drum seals. Those marks can be rust stains as well. The seals may be worn out.

If you can't see any water and just hear it, this is completely normal. This is a front load washer and has a special cover of the inner tub basket. This cover contains some water that has been sealed in at the factory to keep the load balanced while it is spinning.
