Safety: Unplug before accessing the brush area.

Remove bottom plate: Turn the Zanussi unit over and remove screws securing the brush access plate.
Inspect belt: Check if the belt is broken, off the pulley, or shiny and stretched. Replace with the correct Zanussi brush belt.
Clean pulleys: Wipe motor and brush pulleys to remove any oil or detergent residue that could cause slipping.
Refit belt correctly: Route the new belt around the motor pulley and brush bar, ensuring proper tension. Refit the plate and test.
