Hotpoint TVFG85C6GUK Tumble Dryer and Spin Dryer Belts

Arrived quickly but took a while to fit. You have to take the machine apart and then you need a little ingenuity to fit the belt onto the motor spindle unless you have an adjustable one. The older ones don't have. You can buy a special tool for £15 or use an old wooden spoon like me. Put the belt around the drum, then loop a little round the handle of the spoon near the bowl, put a slight twist in the belt so the spoon is at 90 degrees to the motor and put the other end of the handle under the spindle and gradually push and slide it down and forward until the belt hits under the spindle. You should now be able to turn the spoon through 90 degrees to be in line with the motor, untwisting the belt and dropping it on the spindle completely, and then roll the spoon handle around the spindle until it is free in the gap between the drum and motor. Reassemble.
