Possible Causes

Broken drive belt, Belt slipped off pulleys due to overload, Worn belt losing tension, Misaligned drum or motor pulley

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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

  • Inspect belt: Remove the rear panel and check if the belt is still on the motor and drum pulleys. If missing or broken, retrieve any fragments.
  • Check pulleys and drum: Ensure the drum turns freely by hand and the pulleys are secure.
  • Fit new belt: Install a new Primus-specified drive belt, placing it around the motor pulley first and then rolling it onto the drum pulley while turning the drum.
  • Test operation: Refit the rear panel, restore power, and run a wash cycle to confirm drum rotation.
