The General Electric WH01X24697 Washer Drive Belt connects the motor to the drum, which can rotate and cause the clothes to move during washing. The motor rotates, and the drive belt transmits power for effective cleaning and rinsing, ensuring that the drum rotates smoothly and evenly to avoid the occurrence of unbalanced loads and vibrations. It also ensures that energy is conserved and the durability of an appliance is increased to improve system performance.

Installation Steps
Step 1: The washer should be disconnected from the power source. For your safety, it is crucial for the appliance to be disconnected before any maintenance is undertaken.
Step 2: The rear panel of the washer should be detached. The socket wrench set should be utilized to take out the screws holding the rear panel in place. After the screws have been removed, the panel can be gradually and cautiously lifted away from the washer.
Step 3: The drive belt should be identified. It should be situated close to the motor, at the bottom of the washer.
Step 4: The old, worn drive belt should be taken off. A screwdriver should be employed to loosen the tensioner, and the belt should be carefully slid off the pulleys.
Step 5: The new drive belt should be placed. The belt should be positioned around the pulleys and then the screwdriver should be used to secure the tensioner.
Step 6: The rear panel should be reattached. The panel should be aligned and then the screws should be fastened back in place using the socket wrench set.
Step 7: The washer's operation should be verified. The appliance should be reconnected to the power source and a cycle should be initiated. If everything functions properly, the drive belt has been successfully replaced.
Please remember, these guidelines serve as general advice and should always be utilized alongside the manufacturer’s manual, if available.
