This would be the worse cause scenario.
Hotpoint washing machine belt keeps coming off. The large main drive pulley may not be mounted securely to the drive shaft. The drive belt keeps coming off. It seems to ride up over the lip of the driven pulley even when the belt is repositioned as far out on the drivin.
Last week I noticed the tension in the tub was gone that is to say that it turned freely without the normal tension one experiences when the tub is turned by hand. An example of some Hotpoint Washing Machine Drum Paddle Lifters. The other potential cause would be the spin bearing.
The belt keeps coming off our Smeg wdi 12C washing machine and now it wont stay on at all. Check youve got the correct belt and if it is adjust the tension on the belt by adjusting the motor position. The belt has come off my Hotpoint Aquarius WF000 washing machine.
Belt keeps coming off indesit. The thing that causes the belt to come off is if it runs out of line if somehow the motor pulley and the drum pulley are misaligned or become misaligned because of movement in. Remove the small panel at the back and grab the motor see if it feels loose.
Do not over tighten the drum pulley bolt because if it shears off you are in trouble and unless you can remove it with special tapping tools or other methods you might need to buy a complete new drum or even entire tub as some manufacturers only make sealed tubs. If the belt is coming off the washing machine pulley at the rear of the machine there are a couple of reasons this might take place the most common is either the pulley wheel is loose on the back of the machine although it is possible that the bearings may be on their way out and the pulley is moving out of line with the motor pulley. The drive belt connects to a large circular pulley attached to the machines drum and a small pulley on the motor.
I have noticed that the belt pulley seems very loose it. You shouldnt be able to move the drum pulley back and forth although some fractional movement may be acceptable. Its means belt keeps coming off on high rpm.
