If you’ve replaced the belt but the noise returns quickly, the tension spring is likely worn and not holding proper pressure on the idler pulley.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between OEM and XPart?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe OEM part is the genuine Samsung factory spring.
