For long periods of operation, the belt of the washing machine needs to be changed more than once. In this case, it is necessary to replace it in time so that a belt breakage does not lead to worse consequences. In this article, you will find out when you need to install a new belt in the washing machine in order to troubleshoot possible problems.
Instructions
Step 1
The first sign of a problem is when you hear that the washing machine engine is running, but the drum is not spinning at this time. Another sign is when the drum spins exclusively at low load. These signs indicate that the belt has come off or is broken.
Step 2
The third symptom of a washing machine belt problem is that the engine cannot spin the drum, which simply vibrates in place. The reason for this lies in the wear of the belt. Either it stretched out, or it became quite thin.
Step 3
The fourth sign is that while the drum is spinning, rattling sounds are heard from the inside. In this case, it is very likely that the belt is frayed, and its scraps touch the parts of the washing machine. This is the most dangerous problem that can occur with a belt. Since in this case the belt can touch the wires and thereby disable the engine of the washing machine. In this case, you need to urgently replace the belt in the washing machine.
Step 4
To change the belt yourself, you just need to put a new one in place of the old one. The belt should be located in the middle of the drum pulley and line up with the engine pulley.
