Troubleshooting
Lawnmower still not moving after belt replacement.
Double-check that the belt is correctly routed around all pulleys and is seated properly. Inspect other components like the transmission or drive system for damage.
New belt seems too loose or too tight.
Ensure you have the correct replacement belt for your model. Some tension adjustment may be required depending on the mower's design; consult your lawnmower's manual.
Belt squeals during operation.
The belt might be misaligned, or the pulleys could be dirty or damaged. Clean the pulleys and ensure the belt is tracking correctly. Check for excessive tension.
