1. Introduction
This instruction manual provides essential information for the proper installation, function, and maintenance of ROTEMADEGG replacement toothed belts designed for Daewoo DBM-202 and DI-9154 bread makers. Please read this manual thoroughly before attempting any installation or maintenance procedures.
These replacement belts are crucial components for the proper operation of your bread maker, ensuring the mixing paddle rotates correctly to knead dough.
2. Product Overview
The ROTEMADEGG replacement belt set for Daewoo DBM-202 and DI-9154 bread makers typically includes two distinct toothed belts: one primary long belt and one secondary short belt. These belts are designed to transmit power from the motor to the mixing mechanism within the bread maker.
- Primary Long Belt: Connects the motor to the main drive shaft.
- Secondary Short Belt: Connects the main drive shaft to the paddle shaft.
It is important to verify that your bread maker model requires both a long and a short belt before proceeding with replacement.

3. Installation Guide
Replacing the drive belts in a bread maker requires careful attention. Always prioritize safety and consult your specific Daewoo DBM-202 or DI-9154 bread maker's service manual for detailed disassembly and reassembly instructions. The following steps are general guidelines.
3.1 Safety Precautions
- Disconnect Power: Always unplug the bread maker from the electrical outlet before beginning any repair or maintenance.
- Wear Protective Gear: Consider wearing gloves to protect your hands from sharp edges or grease.
- Work in a Well-Lit Area: Ensure adequate lighting to clearly see all components.
3.2 General Installation Steps
- Access the Drive Mechanism: Carefully disassemble the bread maker casing to gain access to the motor and drive shafts. This usually involves removing screws from the bottom or sides of the unit. Keep track of all screws and components.
- Remove Old Belts: Once the drive mechanism is exposed, carefully remove the old, worn, or broken belts. Note their orientation and how they are routed around the pulleys.
- Install New Belts:
- First, place the new belts onto the smaller pulleys.
- Then, carefully stretch and guide the belts onto the larger pulleys. Ensure the teeth of the belts align correctly with the grooves of the pulleys.
- Verify that both the primary long belt and the secondary short belt are correctly tensioned and seated. They should be snug but not excessively tight, allowing for smooth rotation.
- Test Rotation: Manually rotate the mixing paddle shaft to ensure the belts move freely and the mechanism operates without binding.
- Reassemble: Carefully reassemble the bread maker casing, ensuring all screws are tightened and components are correctly seated.
- Initial Power Test: Plug in the bread maker and perform a short test cycle (e.g., a mixing cycle without ingredients) to confirm proper operation before full use.
Note: If you are unsure about any step, it is recommended to seek assistance from a qualified technician or refer to specific repair guides for your bread maker model.
4. Operating Principle
The toothed belts are integral to the bread maker's kneading function. The motor drives the primary long belt, which in turn rotates a central shaft. This central shaft then drives the secondary short belt, which is connected directly to the mixing paddle shaft. This synchronized movement ensures the paddle rotates consistently to mix and knead dough ingredients, leading to proper bread development.
A properly functioning belt system ensures efficient power transfer, quiet operation, and consistent kneading performance. Worn or damaged belts can lead to slipping, grinding noises, or complete failure of the kneading process.
5. Maintenance
While the belts themselves are generally maintenance-free once installed, regular inspection of the bread maker's internal components can help prolong their lifespan and prevent unexpected failures.
- Periodic Inspection: If you open your bread maker for other maintenance, visually inspect the belts for signs of wear, cracking, fraying, or stretching.
- Cleanliness: Ensure that no dough, flour, or other debris accumulates around the pulleys or belts, as this can cause premature wear or slippage.
- Proper Storage: If storing replacement belts, keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent material degradation.
6. Troubleshooting
If your bread maker is experiencing issues related to the mixing paddle, the belts may be a contributing factor. Here are some common symptoms and potential solutions:
| Symptom | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Mixing paddle not turning or turning intermittently. | Broken, slipped, or severely worn belt. | Inspect and replace both belts if necessary. Ensure belts are properly seated on pulleys. |
| Grinding or squealing noise during operation. | Worn belts, misaligned belts, or debris in the drive mechanism. | Inspect belts for wear and alignment. Clean any debris from pulleys and belts. Replace belts if worn. |
| Dough not kneading properly, resulting in poor bread texture. | Belt slipping due to wear or improper tension. | Replace worn belts. Ensure new belts are correctly installed and tensioned. |
If troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, further professional assistance may be required.
