What if I flew strap in a washing machine

Washing machines make life more comfortable. All components are closely related, so the failure of even a simple drive belt will stop the washing. If this item has become a cause of failure, try to put the belt on the appliance yourself. It's enough to choose the right belt and follow the instructions.

drive belt in the washing machine transmits a torque from the motor to the drum. For drum machine pulley bolted. At him and snapped on the motor belt.

If the drive belt fell off, the machine reports this on the display: a message is displayed or the failure code. Information displays are used on machines Atlant, some models eyelid, Ardo and Saturn. Nature of the message is determined by the make and model of SMA. Decipher the meaning of the code, you can find the cause of failure.

On models without issuing a belt failure messages, the cause can be identified by characteristic features:

  • After starting any wash program can be heard the sound of the engine, but the drum does not rotate. This can mean broken belt or the fact that he flew to space.
  • If the engine is running and the drum only twitches without rotation, it is possible to suspect a sprain or belt wear.
  • When loading a small amount of laundry drum rotates, but with an increase in the load capacity drum stops spinning.
  • Sounds of friction during operation characteristic of the belt bundle.
  • After starting the car engine has started work, but then stiralka hung.

The causes of breakdowns

Defective belt is not damaged and does not require replacement. The first case of the belt coming off should not cause great anxiety. The reason for this single event may be an imbalance caused by the action of washing laundry or pressing loaded in excess of the norm. Enough to return the belt in place and you can continue to use.

    • When systematically, repeatedly recurring failure of this type requires a close look into the reasons causing dismount AVE.
    • During the use of the belt is worn. It is common cause that decides belt replacement on the washing machine.
    • If the situation is repeated often, but not for each wash, the drive belt may stretch during rotation and come off the pulleys grooves. The drum rotates at the same time, but slowly.
    • During spinning slipping belt publishes whistle. Stretching even a few millimeters can provoke regular dismount. Install new belt to get rid of the problem.
    • Overloading a lot of clothes and intensive wash lasting 5-10 hours for a few days helps belt formation flying with the drum of the washing machine. With a single dismount return the belt in place and continue to wash.
    • Incorrectly mounted pulley. He loosened due to intense vibration when push-ups. Set bolts or nuts causes a problem. They pulley secured to the drum shaft. To resolve the problem, tighten the parts.
    • A loose motor can be the cause of the situation parsed. When loosening the engine mounts may change its position. Rubber drive element pulls it toward the drum. Because of this, the belt tension weakens. He sags and the centrifugal forces of the rotating pulley make him fly off. To secure the recovery engine.
    • To breach a belt transmission causes operational factory or deformation of the shaft and the pulley. If you find any defect in the newly purchased device, contact the service center for the diagnosis, repair or replacement cars.
    • Relaxation of the cross. To the shaft is fixed crosspiece tank. If the cross broke and caused an imbalance, replace and tighten the fastening bolts.
    • Incorrectly installed belt or pulley at the last repair. If in doubt about the repair on its own, contact a qualified master from a reliable company. He correctly will pull the strap on the washing machine.
    • Worn, cracked or even more damaged bearing. This component of the support structure provides a uniform load in the wash and uninterrupted swing during high speed.

Lack of narrow and vertical washing machines is mulling the transfer belt on the body.

  • The formation of cracks on the pulley. The item is made of a brittle metal, so misuse leads to its destruction. Because of this, wear a belt. When calving cheeks belt pulleys will slide off.

Rare use of the machine, resulting in shrinkage of the drive belt material. This violates its elasticity. Starting the unit may lead to its rupture.

How to change or put on the belt: Instructions

To put the belt on the washing machine, you will need a guide:

  1. Disconnect the machine.
  2. Turn the device for access to the rear.
  3. Unscrew the bolts that hold the protective cover.
  4. Remove waste and damaged belt.

Install new belt on the engine shaft and scrolling, slide on the pulley. Changing the belt on the washing machine resembles putting a bicycle chain.

  1. Belt gently lay in the groove.
  2. Pulley rotate several times to ensure efficiency.
  3. Refit and secure the cover retaining bolts.

After returning the car to the place of repair works have been completed. Such repairs are under force, even without any special knowledge and training.

How to choose

If the cause of failure is set in the binding of the motor and the drum belt, pick up the belt to replace.

On the belt is marking the four-digit number and letter. For example, in 1023 H7. It remains only to buy the product with a similar mark. The presence of the marking letters: EP, EL, MAEL, and E indicates the belt elasticity. The new belt must be flexible and tight.

When selecting a belt pay attention to a number of factors:

  • length of the belt. It breaks too short, too long and will fly.
  • belt profile. Belt with H-profile is seated on the motor with a J-profile.
  • Number of wedges irrelevant. For the same profile narrower belt with fewer wedge will slip more wide belt with a large number of wedges.
  • If the old worn belt machine Bosch is impossible to read the code, suitable belt marked 1192 J3.

All Samsung straps have the same length and profile 1270 J. In the wide and medium profile J5, while the narrow J3. According to these data, you can order a spare part catalogs.

If the marking can not be read, the selection of products can be carried out by the service code in the warranty or the label on the back of the machine. Service code each manufacturer has its own structure. For example, Aristo Indesit and it consists of 9 digits and start with the numeral 4, 8 or 9.

If the cause is really in the belt resulting in a washing machine, buy a new part. Own to replace it is not difficult, if distinctly to follow reduced instructions.
