Install a Drive Belt on a Frigidaire Front Load Washer

The drive belt on a Frigidaire front load washing machine connects the the pulley system located inside the washer cabinet. As the motor shaft turns, the belt rotates the pulleys to power the movement of the washer tub. Should the belt break, the washing machine will no longer function. Install a new drive belt in place of the faulty belt to keep the Frigidaire front load washer working correctly.
