How to replace a belt on a condenser tumble dryer Zanussi, Electrolux & Aeg
The first thing you will notice if your tumble dryer belt has snapped, is the dryer is making a motor noise but the drum is not turning or the dryer is not drying. If the drum in your dryer is no longer rotating the chances are that your drum-belt may have snapped, you end up with a warm, damp pile of clothes! take the lid of the appliance to check this. If the tumble dryer belt has snapped then follow this tumble dryer repair guide and watch the video tutorial.
Safety first! Unplug the machine from the electrical supply and make sure the machine has been idle long enough so that the heater has cooled down.
Remove the lid of the machine by undoing the 2 bolts at the back of the top panel normally 7 or 8mm.
You should now be able to see if the belt is broken or not.They normally fall to the bottom of the tumble dryer if it has snapped.
Remove the plastic vent guard cover at the back rear of the machine.
Now take of the heater guard undo the bolts securing the air-flow cover making sure to make notes of where the bolts come from as some are longer than others and designed to go into plastic parts of the appliance.
Remove cir-clip or sometimes called e-ring that hold the drum shaft on to the bearing housing. Then undo bolts or screws to take of the bearing housing.You now need to remove the bolts that hold the side panel and back plate Using a 7mm socket and wrench. You can separate the drum from the back panel to get the new tumble dryer belt on, also remove left hand side panel to access the motor.
Take care to support the panel (and the drum) as the screws are removed. A second pair of hands is useful here!
Remove the broken belt if not already done.
Taking care to support the drum, move the back panel away from the machine slightly so that you can get the belt around the drum and over the motor-shaft.
NOTE CAREFULLY how the belt needs to pass over the pulley-wheel, then under the motor-shaft! To create the tension needed.
Re-fit the back cover bearing support etc, taking care to line up the drum to the front drum supports
We hope this tutorial helped you get your tumble dryer working again!
