Contact an authorized GE repair specialist to evaluate the washer’s motor pulley and repair it if needed. When this happens, the loose belt may rub against the motor pulley and produce a slight burning smell until the drum finally stops. If the pulley breaks, the belt loses control of the drum and can’t rotate it. Broken Motor PulleyĪ GE washing machine has a motor pulley that keeps tension on the belt so it doesn’t slide down the drum when the washer is running. If the belt moves easily, it’s no good and should be replaced. After you find the belt, yank it toward you. You’ll need to detach the washer’s main access panel to examine it.
Review your GE washing machine user's guide to locate the belt. If one or both of the washing machine’s belts slips or breaks, the drum will cease to agitate and spin, and you may detect a burnt rubber smell from the friction created as the damaged belt strains to grip the drum. The belt is designed to steady the drum as it agitates and spins to ensure the drum moves consistently and evenly in the cabinet.
GE residential washing machines have either one or two rubber belts.
