Safety Information
Before attempting any installation or maintenance, please observe the following safety precautions:
- Disconnect Power: Always unplug the appliance from its power source before beginning any work. Failure to do so can result in electric shock or serious injury.
- Wear Protective Gear: Use appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves, to prevent cuts or abrasions.
- Consult Service Manual: Refer to your specific appliance's service manual for detailed disassembly and reassembly instructions.
- Professional Assistance: If you are unsure about any step, seek assistance from a qualified appliance technician.
Setup and Installation
The V-4L810 Veyance drive belt is a critical component for the operation of your laundry appliance. Proper installation is essential for its function.
- Prepare the Appliance: Ensure the appliance is unplugged and moved to an area with sufficient workspace.
- Access the Drive System: Depending on your appliance model, you may need to remove the back panel, top panel, or front panel to access the motor and drum assembly. Refer to your appliance's specific service manual for exact disassembly procedures.
- Remove Old Belt: Carefully remove the old, worn, or broken drive belt from the motor pulley and the drum. Note its routing path for correct installation of the new belt.
- Install New Belt: Place the new ALLIANCE LAUNDRY SYSTEMS V-4L810 Veyance drive belt around the motor pulley first, then stretch it over the drum. Ensure the belt is seated correctly in the grooves of both the motor pulley and the drum. The ribbed side of the belt typically faces the pulleys.
- Verify Tension and Alignment: Once installed, manually rotate the drum a few times to ensure the belt is properly aligned and has appropriate tension. It should be snug but not overly tight.
- Reassemble Appliance: Reattach all panels and secure them properly.
- Test Operation: Plug the appliance back in and run a short cycle to confirm proper operation and the absence of unusual noises.

Operating
The V-4L810 Veyance drive belt is an internal component that facilitates the rotation of the appliance's drum. Once correctly installed, it operates automatically as part of the appliance's normal function. No direct user operation of the belt is required.
Maintenance
Regular inspection of the drive belt can help prevent unexpected appliance downtime.
- Visual Inspection: Periodically, when accessing the appliance's internal components for other maintenance, inspect the belt for signs of wear, cracking, fraying, or glazing.
- Tension Check: Ensure the belt maintains adequate tension. A loose belt can slip, leading to inefficient operation or complete failure.
- Replacement: Replace the belt if any signs of significant wear or damage are observed. A worn belt can lead to reduced performance or complete failure of the appliance's drum rotation.
Troubleshooting
If your appliance is experiencing issues related to drum rotation, the drive belt may be a contributing factor.
- Drum Not Spinning: If the drum does not spin or agitate, the drive belt may be broken, slipped off, or severely worn.
- Loud Noises: Squealing or thumping noises during operation can indicate a worn, misaligned, or damaged belt.
- Reduced Performance: If clothes are not drying efficiently or the wash cycle seems less effective, a slipping belt could be the cause.
In such cases, disconnect power to the appliance and inspect the drive belt as described in the Maintenance section. Replace the belt if necessary, following the installation steps.
