F22C445ES0 Top-Loading Washing Machine made by White for Frigidaire
Tensioner doesn't want to tighten belt?
This is a sudden problem, one day we washed fine, next day she won't spin. If I stick a screw driver behind the tensioner ("idler pulley"), she agitates just fine and spins just fine and fast-spins just fine.
I've seen worn auto belts and this one just doesn't look worn at all, but acts like it is too loose. Could it be as simple as replacing the belt?
Attached is a crude diagram.
The F22C445ES0 is one of the newer ones (the parts book is dated 1996) with the pump on the left side and the transmission itself moves when it agitates. Is the idler pulley supposed to provide tension, or just take up slack?
