Pulley belt slipping off

Hi, I have a Hotpoint washing machine and the belt keeps slipping off inwards towards the drum. I had ordered a new pulley wheel as the outer surface was smooth so seemed to allow the slipping. I had thought there maybe was a ridge that had worn over time however the new wheel was smooth like the old. The belt doesn't seem overly loose and takes effort to put back on. I can't see any obvious damage to belt or pulley wheel that means this has suddenly started. Any help appreciated

Hi @andrewhesketh

What is the model number of the washer?

tarafından

@andrewheskethbelts usually come off when there is a misalignment between the motor pulley (or an idler pulley) and the belt are not true to each other,

@oldturkey03 the motor spindle and belt each have grooves that I have checked are in alignment each time I reattach but no joy.

What is the part number shown on the belt?

Asking because looking at this supplier of the belt, there are 4 belts available for your model and they're not all exactly the same specifications.

The part number gives the specs i.e.

1201 J6 PJE = 1201mm length J section 6 ribs PJE elasticity value

1194 J5 PJE = 1194mm length J section 5 ribs PJE elasticity value

1208 J5 PJE = 1208mm length J section 5 ribs PJE elasticity value

1194 J6 PJE = 1194mm length J section 6 ribs PJE elasticity value

Whilst 2 are the same length they have a different number of ribs and the other two are different again.

I'm sure that you would have noticed if there were a different number of ribs on the new pulley and you did say that it's an effort to reattach the belt but maybe the belt is worn or has stretched a bit too much.
