2. Remove the agitator holder. Take out the agitator assembly and the motordrive shaft.
3. Loop the new belt around the agitator pulley and the motordrive shaft.
4. Reinsert the agitator assembly back into housing. Turn the agitator assembly by hand, making sure the belt is not twisted and all rotating parts move smoothly.
5. Reinsert the agitator holder. Be sure that the agitator holder is in place before fastening the bottom plate.
6. Hook the front end of the bottom plate to the two ribs at the front end of the housing. Press the bottom plate into place and fasten it by four screws.
