I can't thank you enough for this video. As repair professionals you are really sacrificing a lot of income posting these tutorials for those of us willing to turn a wrench without knowing your knowledge about the little things like being above the tabs to pop the top. Thank you!

My dryer quit turning ten minutes ago. I'm certain it's the belt. Thank God for this video. Even I can understand the instructions. 😊

Helped me out with the unconventional slider instead of the wheel type. Easy fix once I watched this. THANKS 😊👌👍✌

I just replaced my dryer belt myself and thanks to your video, my dryer now works great! The hardest part was putting the front back on. Total, it took me about an hour. Total cost =$15 to buy the belt at Lowe’s. 😀

Ok I must say this was so much help! I fixed my dryer by myself! I got the parts off Amazon and I did it with no help! Thank you so much!!! I send you a big hug!!!!!!

This is the 3rd time that I’ve used this video over the years to replace our belt. MANY THANKS! (With inflation, supply chain issues, and the costs to replace newer computerized dryers - we are driving our old school one till the wheels fall off😜)

Thank you so much! I had done this years ago but couldn't remember how to get the top and front panels off. You made this divorced Mom very proud to be able to do it myself. You saved the day. Thank you!

Thank you! About once every 9 to 18 months my dryer decides to quit tumbling and I've saved your video guidance to remind us how to get back in to slightly move it which always solves the problem! Originally I found your video due to a broken belt. Then one other time the belt had slipped off. Not really sure what happens every so often these days but glad I have your video book marked!

Awesome! This was the first repair job that I did with my teenage son and there was no yelling involved because of your simple instructions :-)

Thank you for the detailed instructions and focusing on the pulley and tensioner as that was the most challenging part for me.

Note: Several important steps were not mentioned in the video. 1. The grooves in the belt must face the drum of the dryer. 2. Carefully remove the lint screen filter screws. Why? If you should have the misfortune of dropping a screw down the opening for the lint screen -- you'll spend the next hour of your life removing parts to find the screw(s). 3. When removing the door panel to the dryer, it's important to be careful. You don't want to break off the tabs on the panel clips located at the bottom of the panel on the left and right of the front panel. If you gorilla grip the front door panel and try and yank it off the clips you might discover that you broke the clips and will need to replace them before the dryer will work again. The part is reasonably priced and easy to install, however, the wait to get the part in the mail is usually not an exciting time. 4. When you're replacing the belt -- watch so you don't trap your finger between the belt and the motor's pulley. 5. Removing and reinstalling the idler pulley requires you to properly clip the bottom part of the idler pulley into the bottom (base plate) of the dryer. It's super important you "practice" putting the idler in its proper position prior to reinstalling it. Lacing the belt through the dryer pulley while trying to loop it around the motor pulley isn't as easy as it might look. You want to remember practice makes perfect. Lacing the pulley is a "finer art" than you might first imagine. 6. The video showed the technician placing the vent screws on top of the dryer. I recommend you place the screws in a safe place (your pocket, in a coffee cup, or on a table near the dryer). The same goes for the two cabinet screws. If you drop any of these screws you'll wish you followed this tip. When you replace the screws -- be super-duper careful to NOT drop a screw. Why? If you drop a cabinet screw -- at the very least you'll have to remove the front of the dryer cabinet to find it. If you drop a screw while securing the vent opening to the top of the dryer cabinet -- you might have to take the dryer apart to find the screw. If you follow these simple, additional recommendations the chances are you'll have a successful repair.

Thank you AppliancePartsPros!!!!! You just saved my family $300+ on a new dryer! I appreciate you and sharing your knowledge and skills. I will tell everyone about your site!

Look Here I didn’t understand that pulley system you saved my life also brother you saved me time and some money🙏🏾

Thank you for posting this excellent video! Saved me a lot of time and trouble trying to figure it out on my own. Cheers!

Unbelievably grateful 🙏 for your video. Was happily surprised to find this instructional on older model. The step by step was Exactly what I needed to do and your video was simple for even someone like myself who rarely does these things. You saved me money & time and I appreciate You for it 🙂.

This is a great video. Saved me from buying a new dryer. Mine was a 1979 model and it is now good as new.

$8 and half an hour later it's up and running. Great info. Thank you Matt!

Everything came off easy. Top swung up, front panel slid off. Disconnecting the switch was tricky as shown in your video. Belt looped on easy thru pulley. Now it's all back and working. Thanks for saving me a service call!

The best video! Our dryer belt just broke. After watched the video, we quickly ordered the belt from you. We will support your business from now on!

Thank you for this video. My belt was broken so I had not taken off the front panel until the replacement arrived. When I saw the tension pulley laying on the floor of the dryer with no loose screws with it. I was done until I saw this video. A cheap but effective design. All is working fine now.

This was spot on! Good, clear instructions without a lot of commentary. My belt replacement went just as described.

thank you guys for this easy video. saved so much money instead of paying a few hundred dollars on a 10 minute repair all I had to do is pay 7 dollars for the part.

Great success! Belt broke and your video gave me the confidence to fix it. Watched a few times to get the right way to loop the belt.... saved me hours of frustration. Thank you.

Changed my belt today with the help of your video

This video saved me about $500. It is therefore the most valuable video I've ever seen on KZfaq. Thanks so much!

Awsome video, mom of 4 desperate to repair this on her own. Belt coming today already took dryer apart as you showed. Hope it works out, don't see why not. You saved me a bunch. belt was $5. Thanks a million.

Right there, you're the man. You showed how the old school tensioner works.

Very clear instructions. Thanks. Your's is the only video showing a tensioner without a roller which is what my Whirlpool has. The tensioner popped off when I slipped the pulley off the motor shaft and I couldn't figure out where it attached. Your video cleared that up for me. I had just replaced the gas hose with one having a safety valve in it and the dryer was not igniting. It was full of lint in the bottom. Removed the lint and $30 in coins from the bottom, checked the igniter and gas coil impedances - no open circuits. Tested it with the drum removed - lit and worked fine. Put the dryer back together and it is still working fine. The video made it much simpler to disassemble and re-assemble the dryer..

Thanks for these simple and detailed instructions. My drive belt just broke and I'll be using this video to repair my dryer.

Thanks so much for posting this! I have never taken my dryer apart and your video helped me fix a slipped belt by myself. Saved me at least a service call!

Easy to purchase parts from AppliancePartsPros!! Very accurate, detailed information, and quick delivery. Thanks for the video also, extremely helpful!!

Took less than 15 minutes! Fantastic information, can't thank you enough

At the time of Corona virus you are the king! Thanks, don't know what I would do without this video.

Another great, short video that's easy to follow from this channel. You saved me an expensive repair bill. Thanks for being awesome

Thanks so much! I can't believe my 20+ year old Whirlpool dryer was exactly the same as the one in your video :) $19 for the belt and I've got a working dryer again. Thanks so much.

The video step by step instructions were very well done... I was able to replace the dryer belt and save just $$$ like Shameca did 1 week ago... Thank you

Thanks for this video. I love my old dryer. Did it in about 15 minutes. Directions was just right.

Thanks...I couldn't have replace my belt if I did watch this video first... the tensioner pulley was laying on its side... so setting it up right that was the most helpful part of this video

Matt does a great service! I recently watched this video, ordered from APP, and replaced my dryer belt myself! Thanks!!!! Saved $$$$$$

Thanks a ton. I've been looking all over the bottom of the dryer trying to find parts that I thought were missing. I've never seen an all metal pulley like that. I figured a roller or something must have busted off. Great Video!

Great video! It took only a few minutes and I had my dryer fixed!

Excelent! I paid $60 for this exact process. Next time I’ll do it myself and will send you a tip. Thanks a lot ! God Bless!

Thanks buddy! this was a great tutorial and I had my dryer back up in no time at all

Thanks man! You helped savedq me some serious time on fixing my dryer!

Thank you thank you thank you. You saved me $250

YES! this is exactly the video I needed!

Great video!!! I will now use your site for all my appliance repair needs. Also, the guy hit every point in the video & was very clear & easy to understand. Well done!

Thanks a lot for the awesome tutorial! I bought the belt from you guys and followed the instructions in the video. My dryer had a new belt in about 15 minutes. Thanks again!

Great video, easy fix and my mother is happy.

Best appliance repair video I have ever seen! Everything was just as he said. Thank you so much.

this video was fantastic it saved me a ton of money!!! my idler pulley had come off from the bottom of dryer re-positioned it dryer working fine.

Thanks!!! wasn't sure I was getting the belt back on properly, this video really helped, but the front panel was still a b**** to get back on! Had my wonderful lovely wife help hold the drum in place :)

Thank You!!! You sir are a true professional.

Thanks very much for your excellent video. Using it, I was able to replace the belt on my dryer, and save time and money.

This was very helpful. One thing not mentioned that you want to watch for is to make sure the rubber side of the belt is in contact with the drum. Mine came out of the bag with the rubber side facing outward and I ended up installing it that way. Needless to say, the drum still didn't spin. I would also suggest manually turning the drum before putting everything back together. It turns out that with then new belt installed and the tensioner in the left slot on the base frame, the top of the tensioner was rubbing on the drum and making an awful racket. Moving the tensioner to the right-most slot took care of the problem.

Saved my life. Literally would have died without this video.

Thx! Helped out tremendously. Just changed the belt in my dryer (which had completely snapped). The video was very informative.

Thanks so much. My 17 yo son and in just finished fixing the belt

Thank you guys for saving my hiney once again! Love you guys!!!

Thank you for the easy to follow instructions.

You are the best! Thank you so much for this video. You made it so easy to understand how the dryer is put together.

this dude has an awesome perm

thank you so much for the amazing step-by-step instructions! life saver :)

Thanks for the video. Whenever I turn the drum by hand, the tensioner pulley comes loose (turned it the wrong way). Your video helped me to get the drum out and the tensioner back in the slot. Thanks again.

This was extremely helpful and saved me a ton of money. Thank you!!!

Excellent work. I fixed my belt with these instructions. Thanks much

Thank you so much for the video. It saved a ton of time n money for me.

Great video! A lot of bucks saved!

This is such a great tutorial. Very easy to follow. Love the hair, dude!

Much appreciated. Thanks for posting the video

I just fixed my dryer belt for less than $15! WOOHOO! Thanks!

Great video. It helped me. Thank you.

Made easy work of fixing my dryer. Thanks for the video!

Great video. Helped fix this for the first time ever!!!

The grooves on the belt go against the drum. This way the belt grooves will match up with the motor pulley.

MY HUSBAND IS A LAZY A- -, THANK YOU SO MUCH, IVE USED THIS VIDEO TWICE.THANKS SO MUCH

Thank you so much. That bracket instead of a pulley really confused me. They could make disassembly/reassembly a lot easier.

Thank you. Now I know what I'm doing.

Great video, I had to hunt up a putty knife and fiddle around with it to get the top off, and my door switch was stuck on -it broke and I was able to yank it off. but other than that so far so good, now to get a belt and new switch. Thanks for a great video --its now book marked.

Thanks so much! great instructions and easy to follow.

u saved me a lot of time. thank you sir!!

Thanks for the great video and instruction .the dryer is tumbling and we found 9$24 CAN in changes.

Thank You for this great video. Great Instructions. The pulley confused me because it did not have a wheel on it. Kinda looks like something is suppose to go into the semi-circle area of the inside of the pulley. THANK YOU

Keith Kitchin, You do not have the reply feature on so I cannot reply to your post. There are 2 sets of holes in the floor one of them line up better with the motor pulley. If you use the wrong one it could cause the belt to run at an angle and fall off. If you look at 3:01 in the video it show the idler mounted in the 2 front slots.

Muchas gracias! Now I know how to change the broken belt on my dryer.

Wow, great video and I got the part from Appliance Parts Pros in one day! The dryer works great. Thank you.

Great Video ,It helped me with replacing a belt

Thank you for the video. You just saved me alot of money :)

I did it myself... Only issue disconnecting switch and dropping screws, so I replaced them with whatever fitted. I'm all smiles...

Great video. Worked like a charm. Thank you

thank you so much for video, saved me hundreds!!

Exactly what i was looking for. Thanks

Perfect instructions. Thank you very much!

thank you very much very helpful video I was able to fix my dryer thank you MR tech

I was wondering the same thing but decided to try this part anyways. Mine looks about 5 or so years older than this one but the same part that's listed in the title worked for me. It's less than 20 bucks. Try it out =)

Thank you sir you just help me out alot and saved me alot

Thank you so much! Easy fix with your help

This was Awesome and Very Very Very Helpful

Thanks for the help. We had a broken belt, and it was a snap to replace.
