Hi i have an indeset washing machine model WIB101 about 5 weeks ago the belt came of i figured out how to put it back on and as im a mum of 2 kids ive continued to use the machine....it has come of again several times in the past 5 weeks and again ive put it back on ....then 2 nights ago i went in to what i thought would be the usual putting it back but instead of the belt just coming of without any damage to the belt it had not ripped or burst but had split its self right down the middle into two belts ....im just wondering if i should just buy another belt or do i need a new machine ......also ive notice theres a silver metal circle thing at the back of the machine which ive had to tighten with an allan key im not sure if when this gets loose thats why the belt keeps coming ...any help with these issues would really be appreciated

u need to take the lid off and keep the small panel off now 2 ways u can do it 1)undue the botls on the motor just enough so u can move the motor now put the belt around the pulley wheel by placing your hand through the small panel once done put the belt around the motor wheel now last thing pull motor so it tightens the belt and tighten the bolts on the motor 2)place the belt around the wheel on the motor now with your other hand put the belt on 1 side of the big pulley wheel and hold it in place as u turn the pulley wheel it will slide on but with tension once on spin the pulley wheel and it will line up the belt

See if the motor has adjustment , ie a slotted fixing hole, slacken the fixing bolts slightly and motor may move up and down to give adjustment, put the belt on and then put some tension on the belt once fitted by moving the motor down and tightening the motor bolts at the same time.
Or if no adjustment put the belt on the motor spindle first and then the drum by turning the drum as the belt is eased onto it.

If you stand in FRONT of the washer, leaning over the top, the drive wheel is underneath the main drive motor, on the RIGHT hand side.  Loop the belt over the drive motor wheel, then over the main pully, and it should be good to go!

Hi!

Welcome to Fixya,

in replacing a belt please follow this step:

• turn off and unplug your washer.
  

• hook the belt first in drive motor pulley. ( a slot where your belt take place on top of the motor and sure that the belt is in place firmly to the slot of the pulley.)

• start to hook the other end/loop of the belt to the tub pulley in one side of the pulley (it is more efficient in starting to hook the belt from inside to outside rotation.)

• and hold the belt and rotate inside the pulley of the tub slowly

• dont let the belt slip outside the slot of the pulley hold it firmly with your hands

• hold the belt, clip to the slot of the pulley

• but don't hold the belt alone or don't hold the belt in between of the pulley.

• hold the belt inside the slot of the pulley in the tub pulley and rotate slowly. until it fix to the slot of the tub pulley.
