Ravi,

There is quite a lot of advice on

But you probably ought to post the model number.

I'd check the following...
(1) The belt is following the right route around the jockey wheel and motor axle. I believe this varies by model.
(2) The jockey wheel is probably sprung to achieve belt tensioning - it might be that the spring has come off.
(3) That you have the correct belt (Zanussi has at least three different lengths).
