Thankyou for this very good tutorial, helped me change the belt. I did get stuck with the lower fan nut, but being a mechanic I figured it was a left hand thread. Awesome well done.

Just finished changing the belt on my AEG T76280AC. Took me almost 3 hours, mostly because i was too lazy to search for the right video. I had to remove the whole motor to reach with the belt to the right place, as the fan would not detach. Thanks for the help

Thank you very much, this video was really helpful! 2 things: 1. I didn't remove the top sliding (water?) drawer. It wasn't really more dificult to get the belt in ;-) 2. The 2nd fan in the bottom has reverse thread. (In dutch we call it 'left' thread) Again thank you very much! Sincere greetings, Peter

Glad to hear we helped, if you think there is a 'strange noise' check the belt is in the correct place and the pulley bearing is not worn.

A nice video. I need to check if this would be the problem of our Gorenje D73225. It makes a screeching sound if I turn manually the drum (when the door is open) but in my opinion the drum doesn't move at all when I close the door but it is trying to do something. If I wait for a while, it starts making burning smell and that's when I get alerted to stop it.

@eSpares 7 жыл бұрын

The problem is likely to be due to the drive belt coming off the tension pulley (probably due to a worn pulley). If you cannot find the part you need on our website fill in your details at this link and we will locate the part for you www.espares.co.uk/contact/sales.

The part the breaks the most they make the hardest thing to change. Try doing this in a small room or closet with dryer on top of a washer. Blower nuts never like to come off a hot motor shaft after a few years. Most all are reversed thread nut. And the customer wants to know why so much money to just change a belt.Note your bloody hands.Great video.

@eSpares 8 жыл бұрын

+JeffatJY Unfortunately nearly every dryer that you are likely to find will be difficult to replace the drive belt due to their design. However with the right information and a bit of patience most people are capable of carrying out the repair. Good point about Mat's injury 'minor knick' and it is worth mentioning that when covers are off there are often sharp edges that can easily catch you and cut. Hope all went well for you on your repair.

And what do you do if the screw on the fan won't move? I'm afraid to use too much pressure so I don't damage the motor or the spindle.

@eSpares 9 жыл бұрын

Tine Zavrsnik The nut on the condenser fan we are pretty sure is a left handed thread so it undoes in a clockwise direction. If you cannot remove it try penetration oil and leave for ten minutes.

@nawarmofti288 6 жыл бұрын

Hi, what is the size of the condenser fan nut?

@eSpares 6 жыл бұрын

Hi Nawar, we are not 100% sure but think it is either a 10MM or possibly a 12 mm nut. this kit should sort you out: www.espares.co.uk/product/es1637552/rolson-5-piece-combination-spanner-set

Check this is not coming from the washing machine. If it only occurs on dried clothes examine the drum by wiping with a clean cloth to find any contamination.

Great video! how long should it take a novice.

@eSpares 7 жыл бұрын

That depends on how 'handy you are, someone with a modest experience of DIY would probably be able to do this is around an hour but a complete novice may take twice this time. A good way yo prepare for this is to get several small containers for the different screws you may come across. Label each for the different screw types and use a felt pen to indicate on the case '1' for the first type and' 2' '3' etc as you remove the different types. Then as you dismantle take regular photos on your phone so when it comes to reassembly you will know which part came off where and what screw was used. Make sure you have enough space and good luck.

You might clean the fans while you are at it.

@eSpares 8 жыл бұрын

+Philip Murray Thanks for the comment Philip. It is always a good idea when you are carrying out a repair to clean any pars hat look a bit grubby. Fan blades often build up dust from the air they move, this can cause them to go off balance and created a droning noise. Cleaning may prevent this.
