Is it the drive belt only? or the pulleys also have a problem (e.g. misaligned)?
If it is only the drive belt, might as well buy your own brand of drive belt.

The pulley in the motor and compressor are aligned as i check it occured the problem due to the low quality of drive belt. But anyway i bought a new one it cost P120.00 and now it's back on business again.

One additional tip for your compressor is to sort of sand the inside edges of your pulley to a smooth state, possibly
edges are rusted or rough with minute lumps that is why your belt easily frayed.

Cheers and hope this helps.

I'm glad it worked out. It would be a hassle if you have to call the dealer just for a drive belt which basically a consumable.
We wouldn't be called pinoyhandyman if we can't fix this, right? hahaha

So, it's wise to purchase a better quality spare belt kasabay ng compressor... or have them replace na agad kung di naman makakaapekto sa warranty.
