Under warranty? 3 months, that's just crazy.

Epson is replacing them and they admitted the old belts are faulty and that the new belts are much better.
This of course is exactly what they said 3 months ago so i'm not holding my breath.
If you have a GS6000 you should request a belt change immediately before it breaks on you at your busiest time.

Yes you can hear it. Thats how we knew there was a problem first and second time.
You can take off the right front panel and see the main drive belt. It's yellowish.
Stick your hand back there and reach back a bit and feel long the belt to see if there are any breaks.
They just replaced it about an hour ago. They tested the tension and loosened it a bit as it was a bit tight.
The belt they replaced it looks exactly the same as the old one which i'm not happy about. I don't like being told that they improved the belt when it looks exactly the same as the old.

I have 2 of these machines. The first was very reliable with the exception of the green head drying out. (this was an issue with ColorBurst not using green ink). The second has had a mother board and reduction belt replaced. Right before it went out, you could hear a small tear on the belt flapping in the machine. It sounded like a baseball card in a bicycle tire.
When our belt was replaced, I had wait a day for the tech to receive a special sonic micro tensioning tool. My tech replaced the belt along with the gear but not the motor. He then used the special tool to adjust the tension. Was this the case when your last belt was replaced? My belt was replaced in late September for reference.
