Re-installing the belt
1.Install tumbler

2. Place belt over the top of the dryer tumbler with the smooth side against the tumbler and position it about 1 1/2" in front of the back screws which hold the clothes lifters. In order to get the belt between the bottom of the tumbler and the blower, it will be necessary to lift up on the tumbler.

3.The best position to take while installing the belt is to sit on the floor facing and as close to the dryer as possible. Place your left arm along the left side of the tumbler and your right arm along the bottom of the tumbler (as close to the blower as possible).

4. With the right hand, loop the belt
over the top of the motor pulley making certain the grooves belt are against the pulley and that the belt is properly seated into the pulley.

5. With the left hand, loop the belt
under the motor pulley.

6.With the right hand, position the belt over the top of the idler pulley and begin to work it around the circumference of the idler pulley while pushing the pulley up and to the left.

Note: It is neither necessary nor advantageous to push extremely hard on the pulley. This tends to put the idler pulley and motor pulley in a bind and also puts a strain on the installer so he cannot work efficiently with his hands to complete the belt installation.

7.Once the belt is almost around the entire circumference of the idler pulley, use the left hand to push the belt over the bottom of the idler pulley while at the same time making certain that the belt is between the idler pulley and the belt guide.

8. With the belt completely installed, feel with both hands to see that it is properly positioned in the motor pulley and in the approximate middle of the idler pulley. When you have determined by feeling that it is installed correctly, lift up and push back while slowly turning the tumbler one or two revolutions in a clockwise direction to allow the belt to properly align itself.

9. Re-Install front bulkhead and front panel. Make sure you get the wiring for the door switch properly routed and the air intake for the lint filter/ blower wheel properly seated.
