Reason

It has been determined that, in some cases, pulley drive components have broken parts or have become loose, mispositioned, or disconnected from their drive shafts. When these defects occur, the pulley may not turn at all, or may turn at an incorrect speed, resulting in inadequate washing or mixing of the contents of the reaction vessel.
