Servis t/dryer belt failure.

[megawatt]

Called out to a snapped belt on a M2010. Drum OK, fitted a 416001601 and tested OK. Called back next day to find new belt snapped!
Is this a one off, or is this a common problem?
Regards,
Mike.

Hi

Its a common Fault on these. Elasticated belt with a lot of tension on it.

Also had back rubber/felt bearing go sticky on these and snatch the drum when they warm up making the drum difficult to turn. 🙂

Yep, stick some grease between the rear seal and drum, been doing this for years and never gone back to one

What type of grease do you use ❓

Hi,
High melting point grease(about £2.50 a tub in car shops) I use for taper bearings, not too much mind, just enough to get rid of the grip the seal has on the drum and stop the squeek.
