Loose belt on a Hotpoint Aquarius CDT00 tumble dryer?
I've noticed that when I start the tumble dryer -- even when empty -- that there is a noise like the pulley at the motor end is not gripping the belt. After a second, everything appears okay.
This happens with the dryer rolling in either direction.
It's only a few months old. Surely the belt hasn't stretched that much already? Or is there something else wrong?
