How to replace a washing machine belt

[@scotthighfield6502]

Much to my shame, if my washing machine lasts more than 2 years, I usually let the scrap men have it and buy another cheap one. Not today, the machine wouldn't spin, so I followed your advice, no blockage in the filter, I then moved it to take the back off and there was the belt on the floor but intact ! 20 minutes later, it's spinning. You saved me £200-£300. Thank you.

[@HowdyPlayerOne]

When my washing machine started smoking (burnt rubber smell) I was ready to scrap it and buy a new one. I never even considered how simple it might have been to fix it. However, watching this video showed me how incredibly easy it is to fix. Taking my washing machine apart to fit the new belt proved very educational too as now I’ve realised just how simple washing machines are on the inside and I feel confident that any future faults can be very easily repaired. Thanks for the video!

Brilliant video, thank you! Lost sensation in my fingers and had a wrestling match with it, but I'm frigging proud of myself for doing it all on my own without dad's help. 💪 feeling epic!

[@sonjadover2715]

I know this is an old video, but I just wanna say you're a life saver. My washer quit last night. I'm stuck in my home becsuse of the state of things in the world right now and no appliance people will come to my home.

[@shenaniganstudherd]

Oh my God your tutorials are so well done - fixed my belt after it came off. Thank you

[@PhaseControlDNB]

Thanks for the help, it worked for me. It really looks easy as I watch you do it but in reality it's much harder.

[@PrinceOvPersia1]

Your vids are very concise and well presented, in a clear voice and step by step manner. Thank you for the help you have given online, in all your vids. :)

[@FlamingBeret]

Perfect vid, no bull, and feel like I'd enjoy a pint with that dude

[@MisterBigMack]

Great tip - thank you very much - the little tip on moving the drum around whilst you put the belt round really helped as ours was really really tight - many thanks

[@twcmaker]

That's the trick isn't it. Use the pulley to work the belt into place. 👍

[@yvonnejoseph1569]

Great thank i just fix my washing machine and save me lot of money i will surprise my husband when he gets home

[@WorldPopat]

How do I replace the belt on Logik as cannot seem to find where access panel opens at back

[@MrDropvis]

Hey man, thanks for the good video. I almost threw away my old Samsung washing machine because of this issue ( letting someone check and repair it, would cost me almost a new one) , I didn't know where to do this repair... After watching your video I ordered the belt and installed. It worked like a charm! 😀

[@elliexoxo1850]

Not all hero’s wear capes . Absolutely saved my life 😆 after getting the most tightest screws off. There she was laying on the floor 🤭 picked her up popped her in and she’s spinning again. Just saved me some quids and my work clothes are up drying 😁

[@TheNailSpecialist]

Thanks for this video I’m now, I found the belt in the base but it’s in one piece and the groves are ok. But for the life of me I can’t get it back on the wheel, is there another reason why? I tried your way but it just seems too tight

[@AdewaleOrotayo]

After watching this video, I went to fix the belt(the one I just got from you guys), and then I thought, what happened to the old one? Only to find out the previous owner gave out the washing machine because the belt fell off. the belt was still intact. thank you

[@Fifury161]

The belt on my washing machine keeps falling off, I've ordered a replacement. Hopefully that will fix it and it's not a bearing issue!

[@lucydeans28]

Thanks. Although you make it look way easier than it is. After bout, 2 hours, 4 broken nails and loads of cuts I used cable tie and worked first time!

[@RansomSpares]

Thanks for the comments Lucy, and well done.... you did it!

[@tinasavage6139]

Thanks for advice. belt was tight but went on after watching your video. bought our replacement from you as well. great help 5 *'s and a thumbs up

[@twcmaker]

That's brilliant 👏 👏 👏

[@RaimondasVisnevskis]

Nice one, the belt was not even snapped, just put it back on and it works again. Thank you!

[@sputnik25760]

Incredible. Just about the best tutorial I've watched.

[@tanyasinclair4781]

My husband has done exactly this but when it spins it gets stuck along the back plastic tub. Any advice would be much appreciated. TIA

[@jerrymadden9322]

Thanks. You the man. Listening to you saved me 👍🏽

[@eeconsult7931]

Thank you. You just saved me some money. So easy to replace

My washing machine is sharp i think it is from this kind of machines changing from the top.... Please help me how can i install the belt

[@JamKick]

tried that this morning and the belt snapped. Hence me ordering a new one from you guys.

[@michaelgoodwin4083]

My washing machine is knocking when it's spinning. Would it be the belt or has it about had it. Going to replace the belt but after seeing this video not sure its the belt now.

[@bucksization]

thanx for the vid.. now im partially sighted and have been trying for hours to refit the belt. i do like you show i added a cable tie to secure then tried to turn for rest of the belt to slip in... omg.. it wont turn too much and the rubber is so tight it wont go on.... what am i doing wrong... i have tried your way to and the belt will not go on easily as yours did. please advise me.. im going crazy here. thanx

[@deborahwallace9801]

Lubricate it with olive oil maybe,just guessing

[@deborahwallace9801]

The other comment says to move the drum around while applying belt,I'm feeling your struggle

[@deborahbarnes8377]

Nice and easy,would be good if you mentioned that the ridges should be on the inside 😀

[@luckyangel943]

Omg almost bought a new machine. Thank youuuuuuuuuuu

[@jay4022]

Where should the belt be placed to the front of the drum when i get the belt on and spin feels like the belt is falling to the back of the circular drum. I re adjust it to the center or even the front but when i spin it moves to the back as if it's about to come off

[@learningbystudyandbyfaith6762]

Very useful video, good work

[@ΚάποιοςΑγνωστος-χ1ξ]

Thank you very much. Your video was very helpful 🙂

[@hiden1980]

Help me pls.... last week my washing machine stopped working to today I’ve opened it and found that belt came off... when I tried to put it back, I realised that the big wheel is not moving . What can be the main reason ?

[@terrygee210]

I have replaced the brushes on my old AEG lavamat 610, and also the belt which was fraying. Belt tension is adjusted by moving the motor. How do I set the correct tension, & Is it necessary to reset it when the belt has settled in and stretched?

[@johnsmith]

My old belt ravelled itself around the large wheel on the back of the drum. I need to remove this wheel but there is an incredibly stubborn bolt on the back which is stripped. Nothing works. Any tips? The drum won't turn because of the belt remnants wedged really close to the center of the wheel

[@David.L291]

Did you get to fix it?

[@oliverwallace6194]

Legend! Thought I needed a new washer..

[@marzenaczech]

Second time you helped me. Thank you❤

[@RichXZ]

Thanks but although you make it look easy, my Zanussi ZWG1140 won't go on, & even when I did get it on, it came off straight away once the drum started turning.

[@leannesoender7287]

Been trying for ages and this won't work for me. I'm convinced tye belt is too small. I try turn the wheel but it won't stretch over.

[@frankiecole4186]

I can get the belt on, but after spinning a few times it comes right back off?

[@JenniKorkut]

Same as mine. What did you do in the end please?

ONE option, as to why the belt keeps fallng off place, is the belt losing it's grip, due to material deterioration over years. Happened to my washing machine. It was just a case of old belt. Cost of the belt = 12€. (assuming checks for loosen bolts or bearings are fine)

[@KokoroKatsura]

how many years drive belt needs to be replaced? every 4 years? thinking of buying new one

[@yizhakshachar]

nice tutorial, but when you show how to spare the belt on the spindle of the motor, you should of put a flashlight so we could so what you did there exactly, it was a bit dark. and - not to wary, I gave a "like".

A torch would be better than a flashing light.

thank you, very helpful !

[@JenniKorkut]

What happens if the belt just doesn't stay on anyone? I get the belt on, turn it once and it just comes straight off again. Am I doing something wrong or is it time for a new machine?

[@RogerBenavidez-su7kw]

I have the same problem I put the belt on for the slides right off is the real broken can you show me a video how to do it

[@kanpaisushi3386]

great vid, any idea why my LG washer smells like burn rubber and white smoke comes out from the drum? thanx

[@MikeCarter]

When the drum is turned the belt jumps back off for us. The belt does fit on using your knack. The wheel on the drum doesn't have any way to grip the belt.

[@David.L291]

That's the most ridiculous part to it tbh

[@JenniKorkut]

What did you do in the end please? As mine just pops back off as soon as I turn it

[@RickRubinesque]

"Very easy" is it?? The back of mine doesn't come off so I don't know what the hell to do.

Thank you it worked right away!

Thank You Brother!💫

[@bolinyu3440]

I got a replacement belt, but it’s too tight, can’t replace it as easy as you did.

[@KnuckleHeadMusicUK]

Push harder on the wheel so the belt spins onto it. If the belt doesn't snap, you're not using enough force.

[@houdini5538]

@@KnuckleHeadMusicUK For me the bloody belt keeps coming off when you spin the wheel

[@KnuckleHeadMusicUK]

@@houdini5538 I had the same problem. It seemed tightly on but would only spin on a wash for about 5 minutes. Turns out the bearing had worn out. I took the whole machine apart but could undo the screw holding the wheel / spider in place. Had to replace the entire thing in the end. Waste of time! Good luck with yours bud...

[@houdini5538]

@@KnuckleHeadMusicUK Thanks, and yes after several tries I've accepted that the problem might be that the bearing are worn as it's showing those symptoms. Thanks again 👍
