3. Remove the rear panel of the drum. See Section 5.7.

6. Route the belt through the gap and onto the drum.
7. From the top of the appliance, ensure that the drum belt is positioned and
aligned correctly.
8. Access the rear of the fan motor through the space below the drum. Lift
upward on the fan motor tensioning pulley and place the drive belt onto the
pulley. The tensioning pulley should be holding the drum belt in position.
9. Ensure that the drum belt is aligned between the motor and the drum.
10. Hand-spin the drum slowly (this allows any minor alignment discrepancies to
be corrected).
Service tip:
Due to the limited space beneath the drum, access to the rear area of the
fan motor is via the space along the inner section of the right side panel
(above the fan motor housing).
Note:
Belt installation can be simplified by using the Miele “"installation lever”"
(part no. 05057330).
