No the black pulley shouldnt be so slack.
My guess is you need a new jockey pulley.

OK, cheers. One more try then jockey wheel shopping I go.

Re: About to change a belt on a CTD80

Ok, I got everything back together with only a few cuts.

The problem I have is the machine keeps throwing the belt. Having stripped it back down it looks like the black “pulley” wheel is to loose and has a lot off movement.

Should it be like this or do I need to find a way to restrict the slack?

Thanks

Well managed to get it all back together and…the drum is not spinning and there is a strange noise from the bottom of the dryer. I’ve had a enough for tonight, will start again tomorrow.

Hi, just seen your post.

Up to this bit at the moment “take the fan cover off, and feed the new belt over the fan and slip it onto the motor shaft” Just struggling to get it on to the shaft. Hard bit seems to be between the shaft and then plastic support.
