In this video I show you how to change a belt on a front loading dryer.
I did this on my Kenmore 70 series but this video was meant to be universal to help you to take apart and fix a dryer that has a drum that stopped spinning.

My favorite part is when he is able to show us how to loop the belt around the tensioner and onto the motor. The way he got that perfect camera angle with adequate lighting....astounding! Well done sir. May the algorithm put your video to the top.

Wish my dad was here to help, but I know he’d be proud of me doing this by myself. Thanks for all the help from a 90s baby who desperately needed this!

Great clear instructions. Perhaps the most important real world part of this video was showing the hideous multi year lint accumulation that has to be cleaned before doing the belt replacement. I was horrified how much lint crap had accumulated inside my drier that posed a real fire hazard that i had never appreciated. It took me several hours to clean out the body in addition to the ~20 minute actual belt replacement. I diligently always cleared my lint screen after each use, but the lint piles I found inside shocked me. Thank goodness my belt broke and forced me to clean out this fire hazard lint that had accumulated after years of use. All other videos I watched showed well dressed salesmen replacing the belt of a new drier with ultra clean insides. This real world video is the best and serves as a wake up call to alert everyone of the need for yearly drier inside lint cleaning.

I was a crane operator at a scrap yard. A customer came in with a stake body truck full of washers, dryers and dishwashers. His 13 year old son was unloading the truck by himself. When I went to talk to the driver, his son rocked the last dryer off. When it hit the ground, change fell out. After he picked up the change and was getting ready to leave, I told him, he wasn’t done yet, but to wait a second. I got in the crane and took the dryer apart. When I got back to him, he was still getting change from the dryer. The next day, I asked the driver how much did I his son get. $18.

Just want to say thank you! I'm a mom of 5 whose slightly handy, but not enough to ever think to fix a dryer myself. I followed your video and installed the new belt, alone, in 15 minutes. I watched it a few days ago and you made me feel like this was something we could handle at home so I ordered a new belt from amazon. My husband disassembled it last night but was stuck at work today when the belt came. I vacuumed it all out.....made almost $5 😆....and followed you step by step. I enlisted my 8 year old to hold the drum while I put the front back on and boom its done! After a week of not having a dryer I didn't have one more minute to spare lol Thank you so much for saving us a ton of money and sparing my husband another job to handle when he got home 🤗

Hey, wanted to thankyou so much for your straight forward video on dryer belt replacement. I just now finished up installing my new dryer belt. It truly was an easy job, and I am truly greatful for your help!! Oh, and by the way, I have the same exact dryer, so it felt like the video was posted just for me!

Hey Fixer! This was a great video for people trying to repair an older dryer. I looked at a bunch of videos before I came upon yours.I really like the way you went through the steps of figuring out how to open up the dryer and evaluating the problem. I also liked the way you showed how to thread the belt through the tensioner pulley for the belt configuration. Very informative video. Keep up the great work, my friend. Awesome video!!

Thank you. You saved me about $250! Easy as pie to fix. My tensionor was a little different design, but the principle was the same. I had a friend hold up the drum, and that helped as I attached the belt to the motor. Flashlight comes in handy.

$400 dollars or more saved!🤑 My inherited old ass dryer is a whirlpool but it looks EXACTLY like this one inside/out. Yesterday I noticed the clothes I put in were still not dry after 2 full cycles. that's when I realized the drum was not spinning. My first thought was ugh.... I gotta go to the laundrymat in the morning and finish the laundry and then gotta see how to scrounge up $400 to $600 for a new dryer. I have never done anything like this before. I watched this video... picked up a $14 dryer belt and a $3 ratchet from harbor freight. he even tells you in the video what size! I just finished the repair this morning and my clothes are drying as I type this. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Earlier today I was able to finally get the belt and idler pulley set with the motor thanks to this! I couldn't figure out how to run the belt though, many thanks! This was my first time doing this, far better buying a belt vs buying a new machine.

My husband followed your instructions. Our dryer's components were exactly the same--odd since the dryer in the video looked old. A piece of cording that was in the dryer somehow got fouled in the motor and stopped the motor from working. Really bizarre. Your disassembly / assembly instructions were spot on. Great video of the tensioner. Saved us a service call. Thank you!

Bravo! Excellent video!! Unlike another video I saw regarding a belt replacement who demonstrated how the belt went on the pully assembly minus the drum as you did. You went a step further and demonstrated how to install that pully with the drum in place. Thanks very much!

Thank you so much for this video. We just got our belt replaced about a weeks ago for 50 bucks but it's something me and my husband could have done ourselves. I came looking for this video again after my girls playing with the dryer caused the belt to come off.

Mr. Fixer- After watching many other videos I found this video and after watching it a few times I was able to situate the tensioner around the small end of the motor and buttoned up the rest and my dryer has been running like a champ.
