Thankfully this video provided exactly the information required, I watched another video and they said go through the front which I did Ans it failed massively, that bearing gave the edge needed to get that belt on! Thanks again.
Not the easiest job ever, but the above instructions are perfectly correct. Simply do as you are told and it works a treat. Thank you for saving me 100 quid. Highly recommended.
Gosh, I came here for help to remove eletric oven and now I cant stop watching your videos.
You are great!

true! Ive been subbed for a couple of years now, local repair man is out of a job with me now! 🤣
Thank you so much. Didn’t think I could do this myself but changed the wheel belt and bearing with your clear and easy to follow guidance. Few scratches on the hands but all worth and you’ve probably saved me hundreds as I would have bought a new dryer! 😊
Thank you very much for this video. I had a snapped belt on a Hotpoint dryer that’s just over a year old.
Really didn’t want to buy a new one already so I ordered a belt and followed this video step by step. Dryer now working again.
Really well done video and easy to follow. Thank you so much
Actually I found this actual video really helpful. I was actually able to fit an actual belt on the drum. Thanks
Absolute hero you are. You’ve saved me a new dryer here

Great video, a massive help when replacing the belt. The only difference on mine was that you could attach the belt, then put the tension spring in place after which made it much easier. Thanks again.

Just took mine apart, because the belt had come off. Amazing video and description. Also watch out for that connection block top right. Mine had loose connections and was arcing. Bot wires were melting together. Fantastic video.

Really useful tip for putting the belt back on the jockey wheel

Thank you your explanation is Great
You are welcome! I'm really glad the video was helpful to you. Could you do me a favour and take part in a poll I've made about the lifespan of appliances? You just need to tick one of two boxes. It will only take about 10 seconds. This might help us improve how machines are made in the future😇
Here's the poll question: www.youtube.com/@How-to-repair/community
Also sharing will get more people to participate and we will have a greater impact with the manufacturers thank you for helping.
Congratulations for your video

Fantastic videos. 👍🏻
Im from lebanon/middle east
thanks a lot for this video, i have the same dryer name but dont have this piece that you change i mean the belt rotate directly from the motor and around the drum
God bless you
just in case anyone has a similar model Indesit to mine -
I was happily following along when I hit an extra hurdle as soon as I removed the side panel, my model has a circuit board obstructing the fan covering from being removed! ha!
So, Ive taken lots of pictures of where everything plugs in!! I would have done a video but I needed the torch on my phone 😂....then slowly unplugged some of the wires from board, then unscrewed the board from the machine, this was accessed from the front of the machine (that was under a little cover) and needed a star type allan key tool (please help me out I don't know the name of that thing, I just happened to have one!😂) - then I could remove the fan covering :)
Now having a little lunch and a big cuppa coffee before I go back and assemble it all back together after replacing the pulley :) The extra step of removing the board required a breaktime lol
You only needed to remove the two front screws and then the whole panel can be lifted out to the side without disturbing the wires. There may be the odd cable tie to snip off but just removing the panel to one side leesens the risk of error. But top marks for taking photos! In the old days I always used paper and pen to draw out the connectios if I had to remove a module or timer.
I’ve just hit the same snag with the circuit board. Your note about a torx head bolt from the front is very helpful, thanks
@@arightmonkey ahaaa!! A torx! You answered my question, many thanks to you too!
That is a great hack to get new belt on
It's not perfect you have to be careful not to touch the pulley wheel with the screwdriver, but the other videos that are on TH-cam showing you just to stretch the belt and pull it over the wheel are done for video purposes only in real life. It is nearly impossible to do it.
@@How-to-repair Trust me I’ve tried and it’s almost impossible without skinning knuckles, in my case
@@Roadkill7878 if you find the right set of grips for the job, it is hard, but it's much easier than trying to fit the belt without the right equipment
I have an Indesit idpeg45a1eco with a heating problem.I just followed your instructions for the belt to be changed....perfect!(I used the old belt to pull the new one onto the wheel!)I dismantled the whole machine and clean all the lint .the problem is that in the beggining the compresor doesnt run so the dryer doesnt dry.checked both capacitors by the motor,and they are ok.cleaned the humidity sensor inside the drum and I was thinking about the ntc located by the compresor.what do you think It would be?congratulations for your Channel!Thanks for your work!!
love this video could also use this for some ariston dryers too
I keep forgetting how big a brand Ariston is in the European market. But I will add it to the tags
@@How-to-repair ariston dryers are the same as hotpoint dryers
Hi! Can you advise if is normal to have water below the bottom filter of a tumble dryer from îndesit? Is not just a little bit, is more than 200 ml!
I use old belt, get it behind new belt, wrap it around your hand, foot on base of TD and pull, with other hand you can turn the drum, no extra tools required
Yes, that's how I always do it, it's the easiest way by far.
Out of interest, as I have one of these issues, how do you know if the capacitor needs replacing or the belt/pulpy system - Thanks
i have hotpoint model TCFS 83B GG and need to replace the belt. this is very helpful, however there is a spring which has come off and i cannot figure out where it goes. Does anyone have any ideas?
Hi colleague ı m fallow you nice To meet you To good luck
Thanks for coming @FatihBank please remember to subscribe to our channel as that really helps us th-cam.com/users/shortse432SAb2g08 Thanks, Paul 👍
Are you sure those condenser trays come apart? I’ve taken the screws out but it won’t budge. Also people online says it doesn’t come apart
I did this, but with fitting the belt in front of the drum instead. now one of the brackets got lose, and i didnt know where it was. there is several places to put it, but only two brackets. im afraid it wount spin correctly if not put the right place?
I followed this video and it was only the belt replaced but its squeaking now,any ideas what it is?
So I done all this now my drum won't turn.. What's the problem?
انا ما لقيت القطعه اللي بالخلف بوكس ثمانيه اللي فكيتها من الخلف اللي بتحمل الحله
Can some please help: Would a broken. Belt also cause for the "empty water" light to stay on?
the water light should only be on if the pump chamber is full of water. If the drum is not able to turn, then it would not be able to evaporate the water from the clothing, as there is no airflow.
@@How-to-repair thank you, whilst I have your attention can I ask. I have checked the pump and it is working, the rubbing blade is spinning and the blade is intact. So I'm not to sure why the light is on when the pump chamber is not full of water?
@@evieemaya88 it does not matter if the pump is working, it matters if there is water in the chamber and the float is activated
@@How-to-repair yes this is the case, there is no water in the chamber and the pull out drawer is empty of water but yet the light comes on?
For anyone else having this issue, for me it turned out the water gulley inside the machine was blocked with dirt. If you remove the condenser box at the front of the machine , behind that alot of dirt can build up preventong the water to drain out. There is a side panel that you can drop tonget better access to clean this from a side angle.👍🏽
For my dryer, the fan is completely encased, even when taking off the top cover. Unlike any of the videos I can find on it. Seems like I will need to remove the front of the dryer.
You are making a meal out of that paul
indesit good brand or not?
They often get called Indeshit if that helps.
The design on this dryer has been around for many years, and when you consider the cost of the machine, it's not bad for an entry level, simplistic to work on it well maintained they will go on for a while, but in most cases, general public declines to do any maintenance on the machine
@@How-to-repair Yep, the amount I go to and the condenser has never been cleaned
Don't you check operation before final assembly?
(Over the years, I found that time saving and very useful avoiding frustration)
Yes, I normally give it a flash test, but if it's done correctly I don't normally have to worry and you must remember I make videos for the general public therefore I would prefer them to be kept safe when testing the appliance that means it really needs to be sealed up
I forget to mention that is a condenser/heat pump tumble drier!
It sounds like the water is not being transferred to the collection tray this may be a pump problem
@@How-to-repair thank you so much! I just want to make sure is not something normal for this kind of tumble dryer! I called the engineer to come and fix because is just 1 month old so is in warranty! Thank you so much again for you quick reply! Have a great evening!
I always squirt the belt and the pully with wd40,slips the belt straight on.
