Zanussi Tumble dryer belt replacement

Check the blower to make sure it is properly secured on the motor shaft. Also check all of the bearings: motor, tensioner pulley and drum support rollers or drum bearings. You may have to disengage the belt to check the motor and tensioner.

Belt has jammed or drum has slipped out off drum guides

hi folks the beko tumble dryers have a felt seal that runs along the front of the drum that wears through causing load on the drum, belt and motor causing the belt to melt and snap, replace the felt you will have no more issues, i got mine off of ebay pretty cheap

Pop the top (spring clips) ... remove the front (screws) ... pull the drum out ... clean everything! ... find the belt tensioner which clips into the floor ... get a new belt ... put it around the drum ... through the tensioner ... around the motor pulley ... reassemble,

The belt can be replaced as follows.
1 remove top and front of dryer shell
2 belt goes around drum around motor pully then under tentioner wheel
3 replace front and top of dryer
(top pops off use a slotted screw driver)
Thanx for using Fixya Please take your time to rate me

It could be the problem. Check first to see if belt is tight enough and not slipping on drum. The spindle or axle the drum rotates on could be worn out. Try lubricating it if you can.

The belt does NOT figure 8, it does not cross itself at all, friction would wear it out fast
the belt makes a kidney shape around the drum and motor and tensioner pulley, then the tensioner presses against it
loop the belt around the drum
loop the belt around the motor
pull the tensioner HARD to the end of its travel, loop the belt over the tensioner
release the tensioner

loop the belt around the drum.
slide the belt down the drum directly over the motor pulley
loop the belt around the motor pulley
pull the tensioner pulley hard to the end of its travel against its spring
wrap the belt around the tensioner pulley
release the tensioner so the spring pulls it against the belt
rotate the drum by hand to ensure the belt is aligned and does not pull offf the pulleys
reassemble case
dry clothes
its easier than it looks seeing a broken belt in the bottom of the case.

there is a tensioner pulley as well as the drum and motor
It hooks into a slot, usually on the floor of the case, and has a spring that pulls it against the belt to tension the belt.
Broken belts have been known to knock the tensioner out of place, it should be sitting on the floor of the case as should its spring.
There is usually ony one slot for it to sit in, self evident if you know to look for it

tensioner may be on the bottom run pushing up, or on the top run pulling down

Looking from rear of dryer,one spring on motor is for tension,therefore put belt around drum(groove to the drum surface).Then rotate the motor firmly clockwise tensioning the spring,take belt from right of drum over tension wheel then put grooves of belt on shaft of motor.Release motor to tension spring,job done !!!!!
