A rite of passage...

Piece of cake! Make sure you use the lubricant that came in the bag on the belt. You'll notice that the rumble and/or squeeling the dw had before will be gone and peace and quiet will return. It should also wash alot better...

We had that DW in the TOL model

It was quite when new and it really cleaned! It had the bizarre rack system they had for one year where the dishes went in the top and the glasses the bottom.

That machine really cleaned, it died the first summer I rented, the tenants put all the acrylic glasses in the bottom and after the heat dry they all had melted down into the pump system!

I was surprised that a clear plastic belt could actually last 10 years in service.

Maytag was always pushing the engineering.

belt change

just changed the belt on my wu203, old one was very stretched out, machine was making horrible noise while running, and wasnt washing well at all. Picked up the new belt ($26.00) and installed it with the grease included, started the machine, and what a difference in sound and cleaning..its like brand new again. Start with it on the motor pulley, then module...lots easier that way
