Undo the bolt that connects the drum mate Then the drum just sits in there and makes life a whole lot easier👌👌👌

This really helped me. Solved the mystery of the lost spring.

This video was so helpful fixed my dryer in a couple minutes

thanks very much. had a dryer in a caravan i bought and the belt broke the first time my wife used it. got it sorted- thanks for the video. those screws were a real pain in the butt!

Mate, this saved me so much hassle. Thank you so much! Absolute legend 👌👌

Thanks mate, u saved me time fixing my dryer. Bloody legend!

Thank you for your video :) I followed your steps and my dryer working again however the belt slipped off again so will buy a new one and a new IDLER PULLEY and try again hehehe thanks again for the great video

This also works with the 39P400M (no v1). The screws are 6.3mm so getting a spanner or socket would be well worth it. That makes it a lot easier than using a pair of pliers. When putting on the replacement belt, I found it easier to put the belt around the back of the drum then stand the unit up. Then gravity keeps the belt in place when you slide it over the drum. (You cant loop it from the front as it gets caught with too many things). Looking thru the vents on the back of the drum it was easy to line it up with the front, after looping the belt over. The rest is all here, very nice job, especially showing the removal of the heater, as I was reluctant to do this before watching this video. Based on the points by jtlevert +2 for having a go +2 for succeeding and saving the missus from getting her "lets just buy a new one" way +3 for making a video about it +1 for admitting your frying mistake But only -2 for not having an appropriate socket set/spanner​ 😀

Thank you very for your info on this video. I fixed my dryer after watching yours. Cheers

Awesome work mate, i used 1/4inch bit to undo the panel screws. Also i did what the other comment said and removed the bolt (9/16" or 5/8" cant remember) that holds the drum to the back panel (i put a Phillips head screwdriver through one of the holes in the drum to stop the drum spinning). When i put it back together i simply put the drum in place, attached the belt and then put the back panel back on and bolted it together. Worked a charm and only cost me $29. Ill give you 29 man points.

Thanks mate, big help!

great work nice to see people fixing things rather than buying a new one

Very cleaver I had exactly same issues and same questions 👍👍

Thanks heaps for this. Note don’t need to remove heater unit to access motor, pulleys and tensioner spring - just remove the rear air duct cover (white circle plate in other corner). Rear air duct inside just pulls out and bonus is less sharp edges. Thanks for the sharing the “man points”

Thanks for posting video. I had my belt on the tensioner incorrectly.

Exactly the same model as mine! Lovely, thank you 🫡

Mate thankyou very much you helped me out big time cheers

oh boy, you just saved me a nice bit of cash before xmas! thank you!!!

Thanks for that, my wife came running in when I was testing the element "what is burning" 🤣

Many thanks for your video Made it so easy. 👍👍

Great video. Just opened mine up and found belt snapped. I'm going to get man points tonight in the bedroom when she sees it working again🍌🍩🤣

No...I just replaced the plastic pulley on my dryer (exact same model) because the pulley had partly disintegrated, and I separated the back from the drum. I just undid the large nut on the drum axle then it is super easy to replace the belt. No drama.

Great video

Using the tape is a such good idea!

Thanks matey..

Thanks for the video walk through, it is VERY helpful, had to do the same with similar model today. Mine was an older model with the belt item code - 0198300010, but can confirm 0198300011 works fine also for older Simpson Eziload Not sure how your man point scale is, I think this is worth 8/10 Man points - good video and commentary to describe the process - tested out few ways via trial and error - got it working in the end!

Awesome mate! That helped me fix mine 👍

Cheers

cheers mate

All your umming and ahhing didn't give me a lot of confidence in you but you got me there in the end thanks! 🤣

Ignore this and watch the video by DIY Dump Rat. Be patient he has a lot of issues with his camera but the way he does the belt is the way repairmen do it. Much easier that this. Should take under 20 minutes. DIY Dump Rat is working a rescue from landfill and a lot of what he says is not relevant an appliance in good nick. Vacuum out any dust but should be no need to remove the drum. Put an old couch cushion or pillow underneath it to protect the door.

Great

They are quarter inch! 1/4?

Thanks great tips, but I need to know how to take the black wheel that the belt goes around. Mine is broken,please help

Thank you! How much was the part and where did you buy it from?

Ive got to put a new belt on mine next week

Sir, I have the same dryer, my pulley wheel has nothing to stop it pulling off effortlessly. Yours looks like it got some sort of circlip. Can't figure out why it doesn't have something to prevent it from coming off.

Anyone experienced a burning smell issue with one of these ? I took the back off and blew the whole inside with compressed air. I had a sniff of the heating element whilst it was on and it doesn't seem to be the culprit. So that only really leaves the motor... Any ideas ?

Save up those Man Points and hit up the Boss for some decent tools. Fantastic job. 1,000 Man Points.

more man points if you cleaned out all the dust and lint while youre already in there but good job mate

How many Man points does this repair score ?

Ha ha good job..thanks

What belt ? Did u buy

What happend to your sirocco

I'm thinking the house burned down shortly after making this video

Thanks so much for this tutorial, managed to replace my shredded belt after putting in too much linen! Thanks to @glennanderson421 for the tip as well made replacing it much easier!
