1-take lid off top off machine

3- leaving wires intact, just pop off top front panel

4-pop off bottom panel

5-remove all visible screws that hod the main door panel, then panel will prise up to the right. at this point u will need ure diagram as wires will start to pop off

6- remove old belt

7- THIS BIT IS A NITEMARE- FIT NEW BELT ROUND THE BODY OFF THE DRUM. then u have to force the drum down,and connect belt to motor. u need 4 sets of hands for this

8- wipe blood from your elbows, and kitchen floor
