Will the belt Loosen some bit over time?

Fitted this belt to a Hotpoint VTD20 machine over the weekend along with the Tumble Dryer Drum Shaft Kit (V4). All went well although the belt was tough enough to get on. I loaded up the dryer and the dryer intermittantly struggles to start rotating. Would this be because the belt is so tight and will it loosen some bit over time? When the machine has a small load there are no issues. The drum shaft kit fitted with no problems.

  • Maybe overloaded or fitted slightly off centre on the main drum. Belt should not loosen easily as is perfect fit when new. I had no probs with mine. By Sandy - - 24 January 2012
