Simpson top loader not spinning or agitating? Check the belt

In these Simpson machines the motor sits under the tub and drives the gearbox through a rubber belt. When the belt stretches, glazes or snaps, the motor may still hum while the agitator or basket barely moves. You might hear the motor running with no wash action, notice the agitator stalling under a full load, get a weak or slow spin, or smell hot rubber. Black dust under the machine and a belt that looks shiny or cracked are tell-tale signs. A belt that keeps coming off can also point to a worn pulley or a loose motor mount.

Fitting the drive belt

Unplug the washer from the power point and turn off both taps. Tip the machine back carefully, or lay it on its side on a blanket, to reach the underside. Loosen the motor mount if needed, fit the belt over both pulleys and set the tension so it has a little give without slipping. Look over the pulleys for wear while you're there, then test with a short wash.
