Post by: twocheeks on September 02, 2016, 10:22:31 AM

Check the plastic fan hasnt cracked rather than the belt. If it has,  glue might save you

Thanks for the reply beko1987. I have had it stripped down and took the fan out and it seemed ok and intact, but the belt felt really loose so put a bit of heat on it to try and tighten it a little which seemed to help as it takes a harder knock now to make it slip, but don't want to go to far as to make it brittle.
