how to change big belt on zanussi tumble dryer

Well I don't know about yours specifically but most are easy to change,
Unplug the machine first, remove the back panel and the belt is usually passing over the outside of the drum and around a small pulley on the motor, note where it lines up on the pulleys. The motor should be bolted on one fixed and one slotted bolt, loose both and the belt comes off. put the new belt and line it up the same, move the motor until the belt is a bit tight and retighten both bolts.

Some, on the other hand, are the very devil - I had to change one on a Bosch condenser, and the only way in was from the front. Took me a bit of time, some skinned knuckles and some blue language, but I did it!

I have finally managed to change mine today after 4 weeks!!

Take off the top cover; disconnect the push fit electrical connections; place dryer face down; remove fixings on back panel and circlip on centre spindle. Remove whole back panel leaving drum freestanding on front bearings. Fit new belt around drum and hold in place (temporarily) with tape. Rotate motor clockwise against the tension of the spring until the pulley wheel is about 2 o' clock; fit belt around central drive shaft and between the shaft and pulley wheel so that it passes to the left of the pulley wheel. The spring is then tensioning the belt. Good luck.
