Tip of the day

The washing machine belt comes off during the wash cycles. This is a top loading model. The machine does not have bearing or pulley problems and this model of machine does not have a damper to tension the belt. It is very likely that with use, the belt may have stretched and when it is between the two pulleys, it slips off its axis of rotation during the wash cycles. You will have to look for a new one and make sure it is one centimeter smaller in diameter than the one you have on the old original belt. As for the belt model, the reference is on the part. It is also possible that the belt is too tight and that the two pulleys are not at the same level, which causes the belt to slip off the axle during the washing phases and especially during the spinning process due to the vibrations. This difference in height should be corrected so that the belt remains horizontal and not diagonal. Check the condition of the pulleys to make sure they are not deformed. Disassemble them and place them on the floor. If there are no problems with either pulley, change the belt. Slide the new belt over the rotation shaft to connect the two pulleys. Turn the motor pulley to gradually tighten the belt. Perform a complete wash test, without laundry in the drum, to verify that the drum is able to rotate normally. Retighten the belt if necessary before replacing the panel and screws on the washing machine.
