Kenmore Belt-Drive Washer Clutch Assembly

Pry the cap off the top of the agitator assembly inside the washing machine drum with a flathead screwdriver.

Grab the barrier inside the agitator and pull it up and out with pliers.

Remove the bolt at the bottom of the agitator with a seven-sixteenths-inch socket driver, then lift the agitator out of the washing machine’s drum.

Disconnect the electrical power cord from the electrical outlet.

Remove the mounting screws located on the front of the control console with a screwdriver, then tilt the console up and out of the way.

Unplug the lid-switch electrical harness from the control panel.

Locate the mounting brackets inside the holes on the top of the lid panel. Press down on the brackets with a screwdriver and then tilt the front and side panels forward to expose the washing machine’s internal components.

Remove the bolts that hold the machine’s pump and motor onto the chassis with a socket and ratchet, then place the pump and motor off to the side.

Tilt the machine chassis back against the wall and remove the bolts that hold the transmission onto the tub’s support bracket. Slide the transmission out from the chassis.

Slide the clutch assembly off the agitator shaft on the transmission, then slide the replacement clutch assembly onto the shaft.

Reassemble the washing machine in the reverse order.
