Candy washing machine Belt 3L500

How to repair your appliance? Experts will help you...

For some time now, the agitator of your washing machine has been spinning in only one direction, causing your clothes to bunch up and not get properly cleaned. You are wondering what could be causing this issue. After inquiring at a spare parts store, you were told that it could be due to the pulley that attaches to the end of the gearbox shaft. Therefore, you purchased a replacement part and, upon removing the original one, you noticed that it had a lot of play, but the grooves were in good condition. You also noticed that the belt was a bit loose, but even with increased tension, it couldn't make the agitator spin. So, you released the tension until it could spin, while observing the issue from below. It seems that the motor is receiving the proper electrical tension and performs the initial direction-changing movements, but then, when the water movement is generated in one direction, it appears that inertia prevents it from spinning in the other direction. As a result, the agitator only spins in one direction, regardless of which side. If it is too loose, your washing machine won't be able to function properly. - Make sure that the pulley attaching to the end of the gearbox shaft is securely fixed and doesn't have excessive play. If necessary, replace it with a new part. In this case, it would be advisable to seek professional help to diagnose and repair the problem.
