Sorry, yes, it is the Kenmore that came into my possession about a month ago, it has been working fine but squeaked a little on start up. Now it really squeaks, -the belt isn't turning things unless I give it a little push. |

Yes these are still out there and I have plenty if you can't find them. If the drum is slow to get moving the idler pulley may be stiff and need oiling. The drum belt can either be a 3 or 4 rib belt and the 4 rib is the belt of choice if you can find it. Some squeaking of the blower belt on start up is OK but be sure that the blower pulley turns very easily and you should add light machine oil to the felt wick above the bearing if you have not done so. |
