Belt Replacement I need to replace the drive belt on my Amana LW2300 washing machine. The belt was broke and off of the pulleys when I took the front of the washer off. I need to know which pulleys the belt goes around and in what order. Can you tell me the easiest way of achieving that. Will I have to remove the pump belt to get the drive belt on a pulley. I can't seem to find a maunual that has a picture of the pulleys and belts.

Had the same problem on a machine I worked on. Changed the belt... was burnt and broken. Second time I replaced the belt, I ran it through all of the cycles and listened to it on SPIN cycle.. Although it's spinning.. it's making an extremely LOUD noise... It's the Spin bearing that is gone out. When a load is put in, and in spin cycle, the bearing is oveloaded..(being dry).. and putting extreme pressure on the motor and belt. When the drum reaches a point where the bearing just won't spin, the belt stops, and spins on the motor pulley, wearing it through.. (And smoking a great deal).. until it breaks.. again. I believe the top "Spin bearing" is about 75.00 or so.. and a BEAR to replace. Hope this helps
