My washer dryer has decided to eat the motor belt, only trouble is I do not know the make/ model of it to get a new one.

Any one here recognise it? Help would be much appreciated

It's a white box, probably containing at least a motor and some sort of primitive belt drive.

But otherwise it might be quite hard to spot in a domestic environment.

Indesit.

WD I 54U UK model. try this lot......

http://www.appliancespartsdirect.com/index.html

an older machine I think.They stock lots of bits and many parts are interchangeable with later machines i.e Hoover/Ariston. Good luck with trying to work out ROI international dialling codes though-took me ages.

Don't even ask how I know this stuff. It's not manly. But, when a machine goes wrong and the 'lil poppet can't fix it......

Hope this helps.

My pleasure biggrin 'tis nice to 'hactually help someone on here sometimes, rather than cut apart with my rapier sarcasm. 'tel you what though, even if I didn't need a spare part, I would just call this lot for the 'cheer up factor' Mary (IIRC) who answers the 'phone, has a voice that is the perfect example of the Irish smile. If you are down before hand, you won't be after!

This is the problem when appliances are de-badged. It may pass as a more powerful or luxurious model but buying spare parts can be problematic. I notice that it has been lowered too. I hope you have informed your (contents) insurance of the modifications?

Farley you beat me by a minute for the debadged remark!
