Yo man, I did this. The fan now works as it should, but there was squeky noices, and the roller did not roll with clothes in. I dissmounted again, cleaned some and saw that belt was touching a Sharp plasting Edge, so moved it as far left as possible while still in «treads». Now squiky sounds are gone, but it struggle to roll the roller. Currently washing 1* towel, in hope of it self lubricating after stood still for like 3 weeks.

Hi, I’ve seen earlier when roller has rusted and didn’t roll, so the belt couldn’t feed but slide. If the roller can’t spin freely it needs to replace, otherwise belt will split.

Just used this video to do this very repair. What i would say is I bought the part off amazon and instead of a serclip its a thrubolt with a nut on the end with threadlock and the pulley itself is made of a more robust plastic so I have more faith in this one lasting even longer than the first original.

Hi Adam, It’s happened a couple of times when I ordered aftermarket parts and they were a bit different from the original, but I’ve been lucky as I could fit them into. Are you sure have you ordered the right parts? If they were recommended to that model, you should be fine and finished with your project.

This is hugely informative -- but I think I will leave this job to the pros. The great thing is that I will know what they are doing!

Hello, In my opinion the bearing has gone and need to replace it. I’ll post soon a video about the bearing replacement.

Just took mine to bits. Pulley fell to bits. Who designs one of the hardest working parts of the machine with a plastic pull and a copper sleeve to act as a bearing? New one online come with a bearing thankfully

I think the capacitor needs to be replaced. If you turn manually and then will spin is a typical capacitor issue

The most common issue is a faulty capacitor, that could cause this- the drum not spin in this case the engine cannot start, no noise. But there are would any other reason. You have to open the machine to find out.

Sir I am open tumble dryer of indesit for changing the back baring when I fixed tumble dryer only one side running not rotating other side what is the problem I don't know maybe wiring connection problems kindly can you explain me sir thank you very much

Hello, The back bearing replacement should not in connection with spin directions. You have to wait a bit longer to check if the drum inverted. The best way to check if you look at before you put it back the top lid. If definitely don’t spin to both ways, that is programme issue on control panel.

Hi, I presume you need to replace the capacitor. When capacitor is broken engine won’t start and don’t turn the drum, but heating element is burning, that causes the smell. As I didn’t diagnose the machine I can’t be sure what’s wrong, but I met same issue and the above mentioned was happened.

Good morning. I have opened mine up and that isn't the problem. Any idea what else it might be? Thanks in advance

I would say it's tight, but then maybe not tight enough 😫 I've replaced the belt how you show it but then I've seen another video with the belt fitted on the other side of the pulley. I've tried to fit it the other way but I can't pull the belt over so I don't know if I'm doing it the right way it was.
