Back when I WAS a partscounterman (really should change my "handle") the pumps for the whirlpool belt drive machines would come with an extra pulley for the "skinny-belt" machines. |

I remember pumps including an extra pulley for a flat, ribbed belt more akin to a dryer belt than the skinny V-belt that QuietPak used. Never could figure what Whirly washer used a flat ribbed belt (compacts/portables, maybe?). IIRC, if the QuietPak belt was used, the procedure was to swap the pulley from the original pump to the replacement.

I can check with my parts guy, thanks gentlemen =) I think while I'm down there I will try and get a new belt. |

That might explain why it wasn't draining the water completely! Anyone know where I can get the smaller pully and hopefully a belt? |

Did you save the pulley from the old pump? I can send you a belt, if you like. You can find it locally too. Part # is 96388. |

I'm sorry about the pump issues, Steven...I didn't even realize that the spare pump had the wrong pulley size, but this was my first Quiet-Pak machine, so I probably filed it in the "oh well" file and didn't even notice. I have another spare pump, but not one with the correct pulley size...though I am glad to hear that the pulley sounds available. Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help. Changing the belt sounds like a good idea, anyhow; it was on the to-do list, but never got, um, done. I hope they behave better for you soon--I'm really sorry about all the trouble! :-| |
