My main belt has snapped after six hard years,so it has done well .I have got the new new belt around the drum but cannot work out how it goes around the motor pulley wheel.The users book does not show how to change this belt either.
Help with a site or advice appreciated.

If there is a jockey wheel you have to lift and rotate the motor so that the belt passes over the wheel and around the motor shaft, the spring then pulls the motor onto the belt and tensions it.
If there is no jockey wheel then it's a stretch belt and it's a nightmare to stretch it and get it onto the motor shaft.



Unplug your appliance before working on it.
