Sounds like the belt is streched....should be changed instead of tightened. Hope this helps!!! |

Keep in mind not to over tighten or the pump will fail! To check to see if the belt is loose, press the belt in between the motor and the pump and if it deflects more than 1/2 inch, take a hammer and tap the motor housing until the belt is tighten correctly. If draining is still slow, then the pump may needs to be changed and this is the best time to replace the belt at the same time. Wish you the best! |

Another possibility: If the machine has a recirculating self-cleaning filter (NOT the kind that snaps in place under the basket), the filter may be clogged. That happened to our 1976 Supreme 80. At first it could drain a full fill in just a smidgeon less than 2 mins. As the years progressed, it starting crossing over into that 2nd drain increment.
