Customer Questions and Answers for Drive Belt by Frigidaire

This drive belt transfers the motor's power to the machine's drive system so the tub or drum can rotate. Replacing a stretched, glazed, or broken belt restores consistent movement and helps eliminate slippage noises and burning-rubber odors.

• Transfers rotation from the motor pulley to the drive/transmission pulley
• Typical symptoms of a worn belt: no spin or weak spin, no agitation, motor runs but tub/drum doesn't move
• Visual signs include cracks, fraying, glazing, or excessive slack

• Disconnect power; turn off water supply before servicing
• Access the belt by removing the appropriate panel; note the belt routing before removal
• Release the tensioner or loosen motor mounts to remove the old belt, then fit the new belt around the pulleys and rotate by hand to seat it
• Confirm proper tracking and clearance before reassembly and test run
