A serpentine belt is a long, continuous belt used to drive multiple peripheral devices in an engine, including the alternator, power steering pump, water pump, and air conditioning compressor. Unlike traditional belts, which are often separate and serve single functions, serpentine belts offer a more efficient and streamlined system. They are designed to minimize space and reduce the number of components required in the engine bay, making them a popular choice in contemporary automotive design.

A V-belt is a type of flexible belt used in various mechanical devices to transfer energy between the motor and the moving parts of a machine. Named for its trapezoidal cross-section, a V-belt fits snugly into grooved pulleys to ensure efficient power transmission. In washing machines, V-belts connect the motor to the wash drum, enabling it to spin, agitate, and rinse clothes effectively. Without a properly functioning V-belt, the washing machine would fail to operate efficiently, leading to potential operational issues.
