Great video. Today, my drum also stopped turning, so opened it up and the belt had come off and was stuck between the pulley and the plate. The wheel is knackered, cracked on the bearing and lip. Because I didn't plan for this to happen, got to wait a couple of days for the new part to arrive. So glad I found your video!
I have found the problem I thought the belt was on the plastic cog wheel, but it isn’t it’s right tight in between the plastic and the metal fixing that goes against the machine. I tried to move the belt by hand and it wouldn’t go anywhere. Then I noticed, when I got down to the bottom near the cog, it was tucked right in between so tight.. so with a bit of luck if I can take the rest apart and get the new plastic cog or whatever you call it I will hopefully fix it if I can get it all back together. It’s a great video thank you
Thanks Joyce, you can order a new Plastic Cog (Jockey Wheel) on eBay. Also you may have probably removed the old black type which tends to collapse after time. Heads-Up! refitting the belt requires some brute force, see this video: th-cam.com/video/zztBmcH37vM/w-d-xo.html strongly recommend you order a new belt also however this will require dismantling the machine further if your up for it. Regards.
@@green-crocs-fixes1520 yes I thought that I have been watching some videos about removal of the front to get to the drum thanks, I will order both I will let you know if I fix it
What else could it be if not that there was some loud bangs then it stopped working , the heater is ok very hard to move the drum around it doesn’t spin freely thanks any advice grateful?
I have one which is quite similiar but to the left of the white plastic fan cover i have some sort of ecu control unit and for the live of me I've no idea what to do about that as it blocks taking the fan cover off
Hello. Many thanks for your video. It is really helpful. Could you please help me? I have a Indesit Aquarius TCFS 93b and the wheel doesn't have the metallic part with the screws, it is only the plastic. How can I replace it? Is it just to remove the metal part and put the plastic in the place?
Hi Cibele, you must have the original part on your machine, the part I am fitting here is a genuine replacement pulley wheel. This is a stronger and upgraded type. Regards 😀.
Just about died when I see the crocs, I just put a new jockey wheel on and put the belt on the way the espares guy shows and it absolutely obliterated the jockey wheel within 5 minutes of running… I noticed that you put the belt on from the other side which would mean less friction on the wheel so do you think this way would work on the Idcl85 🐊
@@green-crocs-fixes1520yeh understandable, I’d imagine a 8kg capacity drum would slip pretty bad if the tension is lacking, I just wonder if the jockey wheel I got was faulty… either way, they’re gonna refund so I might try a stronger wheel next time. Cheers
nice one - really helpful - i made 2 mistakes and realised them after your video - the belt goes behind the pulley not over the front and the belt has a smooth side and a grooved side - the grooved side touches the axle to give more grip.
Its a good video however the belt is on the wrong side of the wheel. The rear section of the belt should sit over the front of the jockey wheel.....otherwise a good clear demonstration. The white wheel is the upgrade from the black on as that had no bearing, the white one has a decent bearing.
Hello sir, I am a follower of you and I live in Spain. Very good video. Since I have the same dryer as you, I would like to ask you a question about a problem I have. My dryer is leaking water from the bottom of the condenser drawer located at the bottom left of the dryer. I have verified that the latch anchors are securely closed, but water continues to leak out. It seems that the internal rubber and sponge seals of the condenser are a little worn and I cannot find any replacement parts. Can you think of a solution? Thanks in advance 14 october 2020

Can I ask what you are using to take the nuts off please? I'm using a standard spanner and it's awful.
Many thanks

Thank you so much for your video. I've a slightly different model, but was still able to replace the pulley wheel with your guide.
Thanks Ben,
happy to help 😎.
Does it make a difference which way the belt goes over the pulley.
Yes I do believe it does.
Great video. Very informative and simply put across. Will be attempting this myself over the weekend😅
Thanks Mr Miffy,
and good luck with it 😎.
Thank you! Exactly the same problem with mine, such a cheap easy fix from watching this. Thank you so much!

No gonna lie Scissor,
the tighter the better, the method demonstrated here is less tension but some say Yay and some say Nay.

I assume the Belt had snapped on yours, hence why you were unaware of the layout.
Glad you managed to resolve though.
Regards.
The belt is way to loose for me to go over the front, and way to tight to go over the back. It is a 75, i feel like i'm going mad
@@blackbird8632 Hi Blackbird,
I suppose its about finding that fine line.
yes you are totally correct about belt, its been fitted incorrect, nice vid tho
Green-Crocs-Fixes turns out i got the wrong belt, to short... i was going mad because everyone said “you just gotta stretch it”
Where did you get the new wheel from?

Thanks Monkey-Juice,

The way you have put the belt on the pulley causes it to rub on the dryer body, you need to put it on the other way.
.
Cheers mate 👍
No worries, Thanks.
A very quick and easy solution might also be to simply put a new amp in the plug ..
Absolutely
It's not my pully or my belt my drum still don't turn
Hi Luke,
this may be an issue with the power on switch or the door switch. Thistype of electric motor rarely fails.
