The belt came off and it appears to be loose. I started to dismantle the unit to re locate/replace the belt as follows:
1) Removed front door and top cover & laid unit on front panel (on pillow)
2) Removed back cover, then fan impeller
3) Removed brass earthing strap, drum circlip and washer
4) Removed all screws on back plate in order to get access to motor assembly only to discover that the back plate is pop riveted to the unit sides and access this way will necessitate drilling these out.
The only other way I can see is is via the base but I am reluctant to do this at this stage as it supports the motor.
Can someone advise.
