Hi, i have an Ariston Margherita 2000 model AB40. I think that the transmission strap is broken because there’s no spin even if i hear the motor. The problem is that i don’t know how i can reach the trasmission strap. Thanx in advance for the help and sorry for my bad enghish.
Re: Broken transmission strap
Luca,
Your “Transmission Strap” is what we call a DRIVE BELT, you need a new belt for your machine which you should be able to get locally. You could also fit it yourself I am sure 🙂
Sadly we do not know here in the UK what belt size it is, and recommend seeking local advice 😉

Re: Broken transmission strap
Luca,
If your Ariston is as bad as ours, then its more liekly that the drum bearings may have gone which may in turn have thrown the belt off. Either way, you maybe need to get a local engineer out to it.
If it is a front loader, then turn the drum by hand, it should feel smooth and turn freely, especially if the belt is off. If its a top loader, then shut the flaps and spin it by hand and the same should apply. If its noisy or “lumpy” when turned this way then its the bearings are gone and will not be cheap to repair.
