Amazon is so great! The belt disintegrated on my bread machine. I almost tossed it and bought a new one before deciding to check Amazon for a new belt. So glad I did. I couldn’t give ease of installation 5 stars because taking the machine apart to get to the belt was a pain but that’s due to the bread machine design, not the belt.It seemed a bit too narrow at first glance, but it fits perfectly. Getting the belt installed was quite the effort though. You need to remove the lid, remove all the screws along the bottom edge of the oven chamber, then carefully work the metal sidewalls up and out from the top of the oven. This releases the top housing from the bottom cover as the metal sidewalls have a lip that holds the top plastic box from coming off. Take out the screws from the bottom housing, remove the ribbon wire to the control panel and snap the top box off. Now you can remove the screws holding the motor plate down and access the belt. Kind of a pain, but better than a new machine. The belt works like a champ. If they wanted to make it harder to change the belt I guess they could also have used glue...Belt worked and fit well. Design and construction of the bread maker make it difficult to access, but once you get to it, it slides right on.Needed a replacement belt because my bread machine's stock belt ripped itself to pieces after having used it regularly for 10 years. Getting into the guts of this machine to replace it was a bit of a pain, but doable and does not reflect on this belt. This replacement fit well and the machine works again. Hope it gives me another 10 years!My bread maker makes bread again! Perfect! Good luck getting the bread maker apart to fix it. There are youtube tutorials.The belt fit perfectly. (Taking the breadmaker apart was a bit difficult but with the help of some videos on YouTube I was able to disassemble it). This one seems sturdy, but time will tell. The price was good and it was sent and arrived quickly.Our bread maker stopped working, so I disassembled it and found that the belt was shot. Found this here on Amazon and ordered it. S&H was fast, it fit perfectly, and after about 30 minutes the machine was ready to make bread again!
