- The washing machine's drive belt had come off and the owner could not see an access panel to refit it.

This is quite common now, it's a money-saving thing for the manufacturers but makes it very hard to work on. If there's no back panel to remove or it's just a small inspection panel you have to fit the belt from the top, which is very difficult. I gave tips on this on this topic here - Belt Come Off
