Your first question concerns how to check the tension of the belt on your XXX_BRAND_XXX Gold Blue 12 washing machine. A few years ago, the belt came off during a wash, and you put it back in place, but it came off again. Therefore, you want to know how to check if the belt is tight enough to function properly, as you are considering buying a new one. To do this, you can proceed as follows: 1. Unplug your washing machine for safety reasons. Open the lid of the washing machine to access the belt. Carefully examine the condition of the belt. Check for signs of wear, cracks, or damage. Make sure the belt is properly in place on the motor pulley and the drum pulley. Check the tension of the belt by lightly pressing on it with your finger. It should be firm and not give in to pressure. If the belt seems too loose, you can tighten it using an appropriate tool (such as an adjustable wrench) to adjust the tension. Make sure not to overtighten the belt, as this could cause premature wear. By following these steps, you will be able to check if the belt on your washing machine is tight enough to function properly.
