# How to Repair the Drive Belt for a GE Front Load Washer
GE front-loading automatic washing machines come in a wide range of models with varying sets of features and design elements. However, each model is equipped with a motor and pulley system that includes a drive belt. A faulty or broken drive belt will prevent the drum or agitator from moving correctly during a wash cycle. Replace the broken drive belt with a new part to keep the GE washer working properly.
