Tip of the day

You found that the pulley on the washing machine was only turning on one side. Test the gear system that connects to the paddle inside the washing drum. Remove the belt, start the machine: if the motor turns without the belt in both directions, the failure may be mechanical, electrical or electronic. If you remove the belt, you will know if the problem is in the motor or in the electronic box or board. If you remove the belt and start the machine, so that it, the motor will run without the belt. If it turns in both directions, the malfunction encountered comes from the box. It is very likely that there are problems with the electronic board or the motor. The motor, the electronic board and the capacitor must be tested. If the malfunction does not come from these three elements, the pulley must be checked, as well as the condition of the belt. If the belt is worn or too loose and you cannot tighten it, a new belt should be installed. Please choose a belt that is compatible with the washing machine. The reference of the belt is indicated on the part. The diameter is important. If the belt is not compatible, you will have difficulties when installing it, and if the diameter is not correct, you will not be able to tighten it sufficiently.
