The most common symptoms of a damaged drive belt include: a burning smell or a loud grinding noise coming from the washer; the drum will not spin, spins slowly, or will not agitate; the washer shakes and moves, will not start, or will not drain.

It is recommended to check the opposite lid hinge pin before ordering because hinges may wear at the same rate.
