Belt fur? :-D I just had this belt replaced and am wondering if maybe they didn't use the correct belt. Help please with sugar?

Take it off and see run the machine on spin and see if the motor turns ok. Then unplug it and see if the pulley turns ok. If all is ok, they probably put the belt on wrong, or it was a defective belt to begin with (the likely problem) If you need more advice please post the results of what you find out and your full model number.
