how do i fit the new belt on my Indesit Washing Machine

It is really tight and when I finally manage to get it on, it's right on the outer edge. This is no good as it just comes off again when the drum starts to spin.

  • Once belt is over the drum and body of machine is fixed solid again, remove the nearest screw on the pulley bracket and loosen the other so the pulley pivots on it. Give the belt a god few pulls to stretch a bit. Push pulley towards the drum and put the belt in position over top of pulley wheel. Pull the pulley wheel back into position and push towards the motor so the catch goes into its position. Refasten both screws. Not easy but be patient! By jason symons - cumbria - 13 January 2017
  • get a small pipe and put it through the belt and over the end of the motor end drive and turn the drum the belt will slip on good luck By michael - oldham - 10 January 2014
