What I found under washer #3
This Speed Queen top-load washer is one of several coin machines in an Oakland laundry room. With the cabinet open, the drive belt was hanging loose under the tub, torn through and off the pulleys.
Why the whole kit, not just a belt
The idler and the drive pulley showed wear, and a new belt on worn parts tends to slip or break again. I ordered the matching kit: idler lever and belt (202972), pump and idler belt (RB150003), pulley with belt (204486) and the idler shaft (210186).
On the second visit I removed the transmission assembly to reach the pulley and idler bracket, cleaned the area and installed the new parts.
Back in service
With the new belt tensioned and the machine reassembled, the washer ran through fill, agitate, drain and spin. The invoice total was $464, with a 6-month warranty on parts and labor.
