Removing Washer
My 2006 Suites has the Kenmore top load washer (Model # 11044182401) mounted on a pull-out tray with the dryer on a fixed mount above it.
Everything works properly except the spin cycle and after running the factory diagnostics test, it shows the belt below the tub is broken.
The problem is how to get the washer loose from the sliding tray so I can access the back panel.
The washer is mounted to the slider with 4 bolts. The front 2 are no problem, but the back 2 do not have enough clearance for a wrench and my forearm. I tried mounting the wrench to a long extension, but can't get enough leverage to put it on the bolt.
Maybe there is a way to separate the 2 sections of the floor mounted slider?
If anybody has managed to remove the washer, please let me in on your secret.
Thanks,
Jim
