pulley fits into slots in bottom of dryer near motor pulley. idler pulley will be to the left of motor pulley looking at it from the front. loop belt thru idler and place around motor pulley.

You need to remove the dryer casing so the drum is viewable. You need to release the tension on the tensioner pulley and slide the belt off the pulley, then you can slide the belt off the drum. Replacement is the same as removal. The tensioner pulley can many times be accessed through a compartment in the rear of the dryer.

inspect under the washer. look at springs for broken or one that may have come loose. inspect drive belt for broken or off pulleys. the drive belt is not turning pulleys, belt maybe broke or outa pulley grooves. or belt tension springs are broken or unhooked. good luck!!

take the back off and put the on the small pulley and pull the belt over the large pulley

The pulley in question is likely a spring loaded idler pulley, used to keep tension on the belt. It likely hangs onto the dryer's frame, & is held in place by the belt. If you order a new belt from Sears, ask them for a belt path diagram, which should show the proper pulley position.

The belt has groves, right? Make sure the groves go over the motor pulley from the right. The idler pulley is spring loaded. Place the belt around the idling pulley with the smooth side of the belt on the pulley. This should work.

just remove back cover ..install belt on small motor pulley first then work around drum pulley while turning large pulley try spinning by hand first to verify belt is tracking in center or close to center of large pulley
