For Sunbeam 5891, you need a generic High Torque Synchronous Timing belt that is coded as: S3M537 and 6 MM Wide. It's 537 MM Long with 179 teeth, each set 3MM apart. Google S3M537 (or S3M 537) or consider one of the following:

to satisfy this need.
I did the research for a new belt but it turned out that the central hub of the drive gear had not been fully assembled and was coming apart.
These synchronized drive belts have many other applications besides bread machine, like conveyors, photocopiers, printers, and shaping and milling machines. I think the 10 MM wide might fit, but the original was only 6 MM wide. I see that they're also offered in 10, 15 and 20 MM, so look for the 6 MM.
All breadmaker use a belt and pulley system. If your breadmaker powers-up but the mixer won't turn when it's supposed to, your belt is probably broken. You'll need to disassemble the breadmaker to visually confirm.
Tip: The belt and pulley assemblies are located at the bottom of your breadmaker.
Hope this helps!

I needed to know so I could get to the belt. After taking the screws out, I was still having difficulty opening the machine. Anyway, I got through. The belt was indeed responsible for the problem I was experiencing with the machine; & the company said that they no longer make the belts for my model & that I may just have to get another machine if I can't find someone with an old machine that I could get the part from. Interesting!!!
