Default Roper no spin or agitation

I own a Roper washing machine that is at least 15 years old. It is a 2-spead large capacity washer. It stopped agitating and spinning. I assume this is a belt problem but I was wondering is there are any tips to diagnosing this. I've never tried to fix a washer before.

thanks in advance.

John

G'day,

Model#?

Most ( not all ) Roper washers will not have a belt.

See if the motor coupler is broken ( if like your mystery model ).

Hey Jeff,

Thanks for the speedy reply!

On the back of the washer I found this information:

3352223
Stolle

Is that the model number?

Also, if its the connector my inclination is to buy a new washer. My assumption is that a belt is easier to tighten or replace than a connector.

thanks,

John

Model# -normally- is not on the back.

Part# for the consol panal.

Changing a belt on a KitchenAid, Inglis, Roper, Whirlpool washer was much worse than changing a motor coupler!!
Tightening a belt would be the easiest of all 3 jobs.

The part number is:

AL6245v

it may be AI6245V

the number was stamped on a line so its hard for me to tell if its an "L" or an "I"

Is there a description of the proceedure and is it very difficult?

thanks again,

John

Hey Jeff,

I could be missing something in the instructions, but they seem to jump from removing the cabinet to being able to access, or at least check, the motor coupling. How do I get to it when the canister/drum is sitting on everything.

thanks,

John

Hey Jeff,

I figured it out -- detached the pump and the motor, and am now holding a worn-smooth coupler. Now I just need a new one.
