How to replace a washing machine belt 

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.

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!

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!

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.

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

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

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.

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. :)

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

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

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

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! 😀

Brilliant! That’s just saved me the cost of a new machine!!

Very clear and concise tutorial. Many thanks 👍👍

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

Thank you very much, I was able to do that just following your instructions 👍

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

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 😁

Thxs mate..couldn't be easier 👍

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

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

Thank you...you saved me 450 pounds... thanks again...

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!

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

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

Thanks you helped me mend my washing machine on boxing day 😁

Thank you very much. Your video was very helpful 🙂

Did exactly thus today. Saved a lots of money. Thank you

Omg almost bought a new machine. Thank youuuuuuuuuuu

Thank You Brother!💫

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

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

thank you :*

Thanks 🙏

Thank you!!

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

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.

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

thanks

Thank you Sir. Oh can't be done on mine.

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.

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".

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

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

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?

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

Should i have a new belt for replacement

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 ?

I cannot find how to access panel from back of Logik please help thank you

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)

It was taking forever trying to brute force the belt on, then got it on the first time after the video

Mine slipped off for the second time in two months. Belt put back on after several attempts and a pack of cable ties, bolt at back of drum/spider tightened. As it is a machine that shakes the house, I've decided to leave the back off so I can quickly check it on a regular basis.

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

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.

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.

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

Replaced belt on my washing machine but when turn it belt slips off

I think I have this problem

Easy peasy😂 but mine is a top load washing machine

My drum wont turn

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

I have watched 5 times but still can't make this work

Boy oh boy I wish that was a top loader and a bad belt can affect spinning leaving clothes still sopping wet I wish I knew that before I had a new motor put in I wish I knew that before I had a new motor put in add a new clutch

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?

Couldn't see what u did was too Dark Not Helpful at all

This guys a joker it's not this easy lol
