We repair the belt

There is no belt in the front-wheel drive cars, so if you have just started diagnostics and you have a front-wheel drive device - you can safely remove this fault. In other cases, the belt is first checked, since its breaks often lead to the fact that the "Indesit" washing machine collects water, but does not erase.

If problems occur with this particular part, it is possible that the tape has flown off the pulley or torn. There are several reasons for this:

• incorrect transportation;
• incorrect installation of the unit;
• drum overload and its imbalance;
• bearing failure;
• belt wear due to long operation.

Where can I find my belt?

If you act consistently, even a novice can easily check the integrity of the transmission tape:

1. If you have a front-loading machine, open the back cover of your Indesit washing machine.
2. If your vertical loading machine - the belt can be found by removing the side cover.

Important! To remove any of the housing covers, simply unscrew the retaining bolts. If you find a flew belt:

• The tape is first removed and inspected for damage.
• If available, it must be replaced.
• If the belt is full, and just flew - you can use it.

How to replace?

1. Put the belt on the motor.
2. Then with one hand pull the strap up, and the other - we put it on the pulley.
3. After turning the pulley and completely wearing the belt.
4. Close the lid of the device, tighten the fasteners and check the serviceability by running a test wash.

Change the brush

Another option, in which the washing machine does not wash after recruiting water - the wear of the motor brushes.

There are devices without brushes( with an asynchronous motor).Then the cause of the malfunction may be hidden in the starting capacitor.

Important! If the motor is overheated due to prolonged use, the device may also stop working. Just leave the car for a few hours to allow the motor to cool down, and check the operation again.

Replacement:

1. The engine is removed to replace the brushes. The standard fastening consists of two bolts.
2. Also removes the belt and all available sensors from the motor.
3. After this, remove the terminals from the brushes with a screwdriver and remove the brushes.
4. Installation of new brushes occurs in the reverse order of disassembly.
