I don't know of anyone making fractional HP appliance motors in the USA. BTW this used to be Emerson's Electric motor divsion. |

The idler pulley presses against the back of the belt to maintain tension. I suspect this belt will be short lived but then again, ya never know! |

We were on our third belt when we dumped our Raytheon Amana at nine years old. For most of the time we had that machine it was just the two of us generating on average a few loads per week.
If you hear a chuggada-chuggada-chuggada sound, that's the belt going. If it changes to a chick-chick-chick sound, it's getting worse. Or vice-versa. I can't remember, but it was the same with each belt.
My hunch is on your suspicion being correct. |

I know with my SQ washer there is alot of belt dust in the base of the washer. I am on my 2nd belt for this washer. It is also developing a rumbling bearing sound during spin and it gets very noticeable at top speed. I figure once it starts leaking that will be it for this machine. Its 5 years old now...still young.

"Only assembled in USA...which is about as good as we can get these days." " Also amazing is the foreign machinery used to MAKE things in USA these days! Not too many machine tool makers left anymore. |
