# How to Replace a Belt on a Frigidaire Front-Loading Washing Machine
Frigidaire front-loading washing machines use an electric motor to power the movement of the tub and agitator. The drive belt connects a pair of pulleys inside the dryer cabinet. If the belt is defective or damaged, the drive system will not function properly, preventing the agitator or tub from rotating. Replace the faulty belt to keep your Frigidaire front-loading washer working properly.
