How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the appliance before removing the rear panel.

  • Inspect belt: Check for shiny, cracked, or frayed surfaces. Replace with a correct Teka belt if worn.
  • Clean pulleys: Wipe the motor and drum pulleys with a clean, dry cloth to remove detergent or oil residue.
  • Check alignment: Ensure the belt runs centrally on both pulleys and that the motor mounting bolts are tight.

Warning: Do not apply lubricants to the belt; this will worsen slipping and noise.
