# Frigidaire Washer Drive Belt Installation
Frigidaire automatic washing machines are powered by an electric motor that resides in the base of the cabinet. The motor connects to a set of pulleys with a drive belt. The belt and pulley system powers the movement of the tub and agitator. Should the drive belt fail due to damage or normal wear and tear, you will need to remove it and install a new belt in its place.
