I need advise how to remove the machines cover and get access to the driving belt. Alternatively please give me the link for a service/repair manual

Follow these procedures to remove the back access cover on an Indesit WIE 167 washing machine and replace the belt:

Disconnect the washer from the electrical outlet and turn off the water supply.

Move the washing machine away from the wall so that the back can be accessed.

Find the screws that secure the rear access cover. Often, they are positioned throughout the cover's perimeter.

Remove the screws using a screwdriver and store them in a secure location.

Carefully remove the washing machine's back access cover. Using a flat instrument, such as a putty knife or a scraper, to pull the cover away from the machine may be useful.

Once the cover is removed, the belt should be accessible. Remove the old belt from the machine with care.

Put the replacement belt on both the motor and drum pulleys.

Align the back access panel with the washing machine and secure the screws to reattach it.

Reconnect the washing machine and activate the water supply.

Verify that the replacement belt works properly by putting the washing machine through a series of tests.

When servicing a washing machine, it is essential to observe all safety precautions. If you are uncertain or uncomfortable with any of these processes, it may be better to call a skilled technician or service center for assistance.

Hi there,

If your engine is the VQ35, then your water pump is located inside the engine cover.

Replacing the water pump is not a straight forward job, as it requires the removal of many external components (i.e. air ducts, grills, covers, belts, reservoirs etc) and internal components such as idler pulley, cranshaft pulley, tensioner etc. The coolant will need to be drained also.

CAUTION: do not spill coolant on the drive belts.

As per diagram, with engine cover removed the water pump (item # 1) can be found after removing the water pump cover (item # 5).



Unless you have access to the Factory Service Manual, I strongly advise you entrust this job to an Nissan agent who has experience in replacing a water pump on this model.

Note: allowing a non-experienced mechanic to perform this work, could result in unnecessary labor time and more cost to you, so you should take this into consideration when weighing up the costs.


Hope this answers your question.

Yea it a PITA for working on anything to do with the Drain Pump/Pressure Switch

Do you have the front cover off?

Front Cover access is it.

Do you have standing water in the Tub? If not the ND error code for No Drain may be false.

If you Power Cycle the machine will it clear the ND error code? If so put couple of gallons of water in the machine then (if you don't know how to turn the Drain Pump on in service mode) start a Spin Only cycle and observe the discharge line at the sink or bucket. It should empty less than 20 seconds.

If it does then the Pressure Switch contacts are stuck closed.

I'll post a pic of the Outer Tub removed while I was doing a Outer Tub Bearing job on my machine.

If you need additional help go to a real DIY forum. Google this; Neptune TL Washer FAV6800AWW

5 post down you will find a link to the Service Manual. You absolutely need the Service Manual to DIY issues with the machine. It's not the best SM but will get you started. I also have repair post in that sticky to help with the most common issues with the machine.

If you need help open a post in that repair forum and I will try help you through your issue.
The forum is free and my time is free I just don't want to waste my time in this forum. If you need additional help to troubleshoot the ND error code re-post in that forum.........D*ick

A shot with the front cover off looking into the drain pump/pressure switch. Look like fun right.






In this post Clutch Fix the first couple steps will help you get the front cover off. See ya on the other forum if you need additional help.

This is an easy fix. a lot disassembly required, you will need to gain access through the belt side to the singer cover plate,four clips hold it on from the back side. Once that is off, two screw hold small access plate which is under the letters Sin, remove plate, rotate shaft to access screw through opening which holds Vertical Top Shaft Gear, Singer # 155819 in place. Remove bottom cover, locate belt pulleys (2), remove cam tensioner, with a hex wrench remove pulleys, this makes it easier to remove lower belt. with a long thin, blade screwdriver, loosen screw on gear (through small access cover), slide shaft downward Rand R gear, reverse process, done. Be sure you document removal, take pictures, mark references with marking pen.This makes reassembly easy. I just replaced mine, I am handy but not an expert, hope this helps you...

Hello,

Actually I just answered a similar question on how to open the power nozzle on a Sears Kenmore. The Sears Kenmore is actually made by Panasonic, and the repair is identical to replace the belt. Here's my other repair solution that includes a link to the Panasonic instruction manual that will walk you right through this repair;

I will also explain how to access the roller brush below, and if you'd like to see diagrams of how to do it, you may visit the link below to the Panasonic owners manual. Start at page 46, then go back to page 40.
http://service.us.panasonic.com/OPERMANPDF/MCCG973-MUL.pdf

In order to access the roller brush on this model, here's what you need to do. Underneath of the headlight cover, there are two screws that need to removed first. In order to get to these screws, simply push on both sides of the headlight cover, and lift it straight up while pushing both sides. After the headlight cover has been removed, you'll be able to visibly see the two screws that need to be unscrewed (phillips head screw driver). Remove these two screws next.

After the screws have been removed, turn the power head upside. If you look at both the left and the right sides, you'll see a little indentation on each side. All you need to do is put a flat head screwdriver in these indentations, and pry up on both sides. This will remove the top housing. Once you have top housing removed, you'll see there's one more cover that goes over the roller brush. There are two tabs on both sides behind the roller brush. If you squeeze these two tabs, you can now remove the white colored housing that covers the brush, and have full access to the brush.

I hope that this helps you repair your belt. If you found this repair helpful, please be sure to rate it by clicking the thumbs up icons in the top right hand corner. If you have any other questions about how to repair this, please feel free to request a clarification, or add a comment to the repair, and I'll be more then happy to help you.

Thanks very much,

hi from uk the 626 water pump is not driven by timing belt but by another drive belt so easy to change after removal of under wing cover to access /see pump b4 you remove drive belt would advise you to slacken off the water pump pully 1st while it is held by drive belt to prevent turning ? then with belt off /pully removed pump is more accessable hope this helps?

You must route the belt either in front of or slip it behind the drum to get it down to the drive wheel. You should remove the front panel to be able to do this the best.

If there is no rear access panel, then it is normally a cabinet off job, but it can be done from the top,
Lean the m/c towards you and with a bit of manipulation, you can actually fit the belt this way, it is awkward, but can be done.
