Has anyone successfully fitted a drive belt on an Ariston washing machine( washer dryer). Its an A 1300 WD?
The machine is several years old but works ( worked) fine until the other day. The back does NOT come off. You have to work through a couple of holes and take just the top off. We have a new belt drive. OH has been trying for two days to fit it. I know on the internet it seems this machine is notorious for being very difficult ( someone described fitting the Ariston as a fete of herculean strength and somewhere else a supplier warns that fitting this belt is very difficult ( would we had known before starting) but has anyone got any tips/ experience for how to get this on?
Otherwise it is beginning to look like a new machine. I know I always seem to have one trouble or another - thats because it does seem as if I do. Thanks for any advice.
