Answer 1

Whirlpool has not used a belt for 15 years in there washers, a coupler is what is bad. remove two from control panel flip it up and two clips on each side must be removed. the whole front and sides come off together. remove pump, remove motor and you will see the coupler between the motor and transmission. coupler 3-5 dollars.Flip the washers up and look on the floor a lot of black rubber in the middle under washer yep thats the coupler!
