If your washing machine has suddenly stopped spinning or is making strange noises during cycles, chances are you might be dealing with a broken or worn-out belt. Understanding the cost of washer replacement parts and what’s involved in fixing it can help you avoid bigger repair bills down the line. In this article, AZParts will help you explore common symptoms of a faulty washer belt, how much it costs to replace it, and whether it’s a DIY-friendly fix or best left to the pros
1. What Happens to Your Washer When the Belt Breaks?
When the washer belt breaks or becomes loose, your washing machine may still fill with water, but the drum will not spin or agitate. This is one of the most obvious signs of belt failure. In belt-driven washers, the belt connects the motor to the drum pulley, allowing the tub to rotate. Once it wears out or breaks, this rotation can’t happen.
Here are some symptoms of a broken washer belt :
- The washing machine drum not spinning or agitating.
- A humming noise from the motor but no movement in the drum.
- Burnt rubber smell or visible cracks on the belt.
- Washer stopping mid-cycle or clothes remaining soaking wet.
