How to Remove the Pulley on a Kenmore Front-Load Washer

Your Kenmore front-load washer uses a large pulley to transfer power from the motor to the washer tub. A rubber belt runs from the motor to the pulley, providing the agitating and spinning motion the washer uses to clean your laundry. A damaged pulley can make the washer unusable. If it becomes damaged or worn, you can remove the pulley on a Kenmore front-load washer to replace it.

Things You'll Need

Instructions

    • 1

      Unplug the washer to prevent electrical shocks and accidental washer activation.

    • 2

      Unscrew and remove the three Phillips-head screws located along the back edge of the washer’s top panel. Slide the panel back, and lift the back edge to remove the panel from the washer.

    • 3

      Remove the 12 screws holding the back panel on the washer. Slide the back panel up, and pull it off the washer.

    • 4

      Grasp the belt near the large pulley. Turn the pulley, while pulling the belt out of alignment with the pulley, until the belt runs off the side of the pulley.

    • 5

      Slide the handle of a screwdriver through the pulley, into the hub behind the pulley. This will keep the pulley from turning while you remove the retaining nut.

    • 6

      Remove the retaining nut with a 21-millimeter socket. Turn the nut counterclockwise until it comes off the retaining stud. Pull the pulley off the stud.
