My Kenmore washer model #7014502 began to squeal in spin and chewed up the belt. Motor is new. Any idea of repair needed? Thank You | ||

Sounds like either bad center post bearings or a lack of lubrication if they are still good. Basket drive clutches may be worn down so that you've got metal on metal. Hope that helps a little. | ||

Squealing and chewing up the belt. There is not much that will chew up a belt in a Belt Drive WP-KM washer other than a sized water pump, how fast did this belt get chewed up, what is getting hot, Motor pulley, clutch pulley ?, if the motor pulley has any rust on it it will chew up a belt pretty fast, you really have to look the machine over and it should be pretty easy to figure out what is causing the belt wear and noise. | ||

if the pump and flywheel And motor turn it still sounds like a basket drive issue too me. It sounds as if it may be what's seized up. | ||

Basket Drive Yeah, good question. I have no idea what a basket drive is or how to get at it.
Something tells me that accessing it would involve a major tear-down. You may want to retrace your steps on the easier items first, considering the washer was behaving OK before you installed the new motor. Are you sure the specs for the new motor's drive mechanism are identical to the old one? | ||
