    Cable tie belt to main pulley and hook other end on motor then slowly rotate drum until belt on then cut the cable tie off.

    Power unplugged first !!! :zap:

    If the belt has come off once it will come off again in no time at all, you need a new belt.

    Hmmm, would agree with r600a – pulley loose, if you manage to get the belt on and run it will sound rather rough!!! Check for play on the belt pulley, should be a torx t40 screw.

    95{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} of new machines have a removable panel sufficient at least to facilitate belt replacement. Though it’s true to say that belts normally last longer than most other components in the machine. 😉
