just inserted. The idea is to lower the brake down evenly to avoid bending 4. As the screws are loosened, the brake spring will reach the limit of its extension. You will run out of spring pressure before you run out of screw thread. Remove brake drum and gasket. 5. Pull brake rotor assembly from spin tube spline. Inspect liner for wear or damage. Replace if questionable. 6. Wipe inside of brake housing before reassembly. 7. Inspect spring cap for wear. Wear indicates sticking radical bearing. 8. Apply grease to inside of rotor splines before reassembly. Use new gasket. 9. Tighten machine screws alternately to compress brake drum back to housing. Install four original screws and replace “service” screws. 10. Add two ounces of auto. trans, lube over lip of brake drum. DRIVE PULLEY AND ROTOR BEARING The drive pulley must be removed to gain access to the rotor bearing or to remove the brake package. To Remove Pulley: 1, Remove drive and pump belts and rubber cap covering hub of pulley. son0r14s 2. Remove screw and washer from bottom of drive shaft. 3. Remove the splined drive lug from the drive shaft. 4, Turn pulley counterclockwise to remove it from the helical shaft. The rotor bearing is located above the drive pulley Note: There is a top and bottom to the rotor bearing. When it is posi- tioned correctly, the top of the bearing and the pulley hub will be about even. if you put the rotor bearing on upside down, you will have no brake. Note: When the drive pulley is replaced, the drive lug must be properly positioned. To Adjust Drive Lug: Turn the drive pulley onto the shaft clockwise until all play is taken up. Holding the pulley in this position, the distance between drive and pulley lugs should be 3/8”. Turn pulley counter- clockwise and check to see that the drive lug and pulley are making contact.

MOTOR CARRIAGE The motor carriage consists of an upper and lower section. The lower section is mounted to the base frame. The upper section is used to mount the motor. The lower section has two square glides on each side which engage in a track on each side of the upper section. Two tension springs are attached between the two sections. When removing springs note location of the holes. During agitation the motor pulley rotates in a clockwise direction as viewed from the top of the motor. The tension of the two springs keeps the motor pulled toward the front of the washer causing the motor pulley to tighten against the drive belt. During spin the motor pulley rotates in a counterclockwise direction as viewed from the top of the washer. The initial surge caused by the reverse torque of reoois the motor pulls the motor along the track to the rear. The drive belt slips in the drive pulleys so the motor does not absorb the full starting impact and weight of the full tub As the inertia of the tub is overcome, the motor is pulled ahead by the tension springs allowing the drive belt to settle into the motor pulley and grad- ually build up spin speed. The drive belt tension during spin is automatically provided by the two motor tension springs. MOTOR REMOVAL The drive motor is attached to the upper section of the motor base by the motor thru-bolts and nuts. Motor replacement necessitates removing the motor base from the washer base. 1. Disconnect unit from power source. 2. Remove two screws holding front panel and remove panel. 3. Remove motor cover. 4. Remove machine harness wires from motor switch terminals. Remove belts. Remove three screws holding motor base to base frame and remove motor base and motor. SECTION®, WASHER - SERVICE PROCEDURES 3-53 (©1994 Maytag Corporation
