Drive belts transmit the motor's rotational force to the drum of a commercial washing machine, making them one of the most wear-prone components in the machine. A worn or broken belt is one of the most common causes of a drum that fails to spin.
Belt types available
Global Laundry Parts stocks ribbed V-belts in L1549 and L1790 lengths, compatible with the Electrolux ELS, Wascator and Wascomat range of commercial washing machines.
Signs of a worn belt
Watch for the drum slipping or failing to spin, squealing or squeaking noises during the wash or spin cycle, or visible cracking and fraying on the belt surface. Replacing the belt before it breaks avoids unexpected downtime.
Replacement guidance
Always replace the belt with the correct specification for your machine model. Using an incorrect length or profile will cause slipping, overheating or accelerated wear. Contact us if you need help confirming the right belt for your machine.
