you can follow these steps:

1. Open the cassette deck: Carefully open the cassette deck by removing any screws or clips that secure the outer casing. Be cautious not to damage any internal components or delicate parts.
2. Observe the existing belt placement: Before removing any belts, take note of their positions and how they are routed around various pulleys, flywheels, or other components. This will serve as a reference for installing the new belts correctly.
3. Remove and replace the belts: Gently remove the old belts, keeping track of their lengths and shapes. Measure the size and shape of the old belts or refer to any documentation that may have come with the deck to determine the appropriate replacement belts. Install the new belts one at a time, following the observed routing from step 2.
4. Ensure proper tension: Ensure that the newly installed belts have the appropriate tension. They should be tight enough to drive the various mechanisms but not overly tight or loose. Adjust the tension if necessary.
5. Test and adjust: After replacing the belts, reassemble the cassette deck and test its functionality. Verify that the belts drive the cassette mechanism smoothly and consistently. Make any necessary adjustments to belt tension or routing if the mechanisms do not operate correctly.

If you encounter any difficulties or are unsure about the belt routing or replacement process, it is advisable to consult a professional technician or reach out to a specialized audio repair service. They will have the expertise and knowledge to handle the specific requirements of your General Electric 3-5672A cassette deck and ensure proper belt routing.

Hi, there
Since your unit has a CD player, the problem with both the turntable and cassette deck is probably due to the rubber belts that turn both mechanisms losing elasticity or have broken over time (or in the worst case scenario, turned to goo). I don't know your model manufacturer, but turntables often have a clip, or some sort of apparatus, that you can remove to lift the turntable platter up and off. If you can do that, you will be able to see what shape the turntable belt is in. For the cassette deck, more intricate disassembly is required. Replacement belts for both can often be found on eBay or other online sources.I found a video for an ion turntable that might have a similar belt system.

Try MCM electronics - they have all size belts and the trick is to replace the stretched out belt with one that is about a quarter to one half inch longer in circumference.

Belts for any deck can be obtained from Marrs Communications in TX but if you now the size and width they can also be had cheaper from Consolidated Electronics in OH.

If you can get the part from an electronics supply (we have a place here in my medium sized Canadian city). Once you obtain the part it just takes patience and a natural ability at puzzles to be able to replace it. Perhaps you should remove the old one first to be able to size it.

Take it to an electronics shop that sells replacement belts, they will help

We have two of these with the same problem. The belt that drives the pick up reels is broken. We are trying to find a place to purchase new ones.

This sounds like a dirty or sticky pinch roller - use a commercial cassette head cleaner - or ear but with a alcohol cleaner -

If the capston is not rolling the cassette forward this my be due to a broken belt - or may have just jumped off - power down the product and disconnet from the mains - then open it up - normaly the front come away undo the mounting screws from around the cassette mechanism normaly around 4 and carefuly look at the back there should normaly be 2 rubber band one to the capston and 1 to the pich roller the belt that may be broken is the smaller of the too. most cassette deck use the same size belt
