BEKO DRVS DRCS Tumble Dryer DRUM DRIVE BELT 1967 9PHE 2953240200

A very tight fit on a DRVS73W (7187081100). Used a long pipe to fit over motor shaft

The Belt arrived promptly ahead of delivery time. It was a perfect like for like replacement for the original Beko belt. Once fitted (not easy 😀) ran perfectly. Very happy with product.

Replacing the drive belt requires a bit of effort: Unplug the machine from the mains! Remove the top cover, (three screws at the rear of the lid and then slide back and lift up), remove the top tank pipes (push fit) and pipe clips taking note of which pipe goes where, remove all the screws from the rear case perimeter (not from the heater cover), remove, remove the rear bottom cover plate, unplug the mains internal cable from the mains suppressor and earth stud on the rear case, ease the rear case including the drum back about 1 inch and then unplug the heater connectors on the insider lower left (as seen from the rear), now remove the drum assembly and rear case. Remove the broken drive belt and slip the replacement over the drum. (Inspect the front felt drum seal and replace if need be.) Insert the drum assembly back into the machine ensuring the belt is not snagged. Reconnect the heater connectors and re-fix the rear case (beginning with the four corners). Check the belt is not trapped and is free to move. With a length of 15mm copper pipe carefully work the pipe on to the motor spindle whilst levering the belt into alignment. Initially it will seem like the belt is too short! Rotate the drum and the copper pipe and the belt will work its way down the pipe until it is over the spindle and then work the pipe off the spindle to leave the belt on the spindle. If needs be, push the belt whilst rotating the drum to get the belt position entirely on the running groves of the motor spindle. Then reconnect the internal mains cable to the suppressor and the earth stud, re-fix the motor cover plate, the top tank pipes (in the correct order) and the pipe clips. Refit the top cover. You should have no screws left over! Then plug the machine back in and give it a test. (I hope I haven't forgotten something in this guide! If in doubt call in a domestic appliance repair person!!)

Does the job. You can ease on the very tight belt by levering it over the motor spigot with a 1/2 inch socket and extension bar. A smear of Vaseline over the socket helps too. Contrary to You Tube I found the best way to put on the new belt was just to remove the top panel, motor cover plate and back panel.

Does the job👍
