Ikea Renlig (Electrolux) Loose drive pulley
I have an Ikea Renlig machine (made by Electrolux I believe) from 2015. The belt started to come off so I replaced it by a new one but that didn't help. In the end I found out that the reason is a loose drive pulley. The drive pulley wobbles which makes the belt come of affter a couple of spins. It has also a bit of play in it when turning it in alternating directions.
I can't figure out what part is causing this. The shaft seems to be a bit dented right where the metal plate in the drive pulley is attached, but in a way that I'm not sure if it's just how it's manufactured. See some pictures below.
Any advice would be really appreciated.
