- Put on the new belt. Here is how: Find the old marks from the old belt, it should be somewhere in the middle of the drum. Put the belt around the drum first with the V groves facing and touching the drum, then pull the belt through the loop hole of the idler assembly, and finally stretch the idler assembly by pulling the belt all the way toward and around the pulley on the motor. Now here is how the belt should be set, it goes around the drum with groves on the inside, then it goes through the idler loop hole and touching that idlers round spot with its back, then the belt goes around the motor pulley that has the matching groves.
- Rotate the drum manually and make sure that the belt and the motor and the drum all rotate together. Also, make sure the belt is in the right place on the drum, move it in place if you need to.
- Put the front cover back on. Make sure that you align it evenly to get the bottom part of the front cover into the clips first, and make sure the drum is in the right place with the front cover.
- Put the screws of the front cover back in place.
- Connect or reAttach the door switch.
- Raise the dryer on its bottom.
- Close the Top lid all the way.
- Put the screws of the lint screen back in place.
- Slide in the Lint screen back in place.

- Put your dryer back where it belongs.
- Connect the electrical power to the machine.
- Turn on the machine for a minute or two to test and to blow out any dust that got in.
- That is it, good job, now you have proven to yourself that you can do some basic stuff around your home by yourself, and you saved who knows how much money, and you improved your knowledge, skills, mental health and brain health too.
