Which way does the belt go; on my simpson dryer. I want to re-attach it? oJc

Im sorry I assume it was a dryer issue your having? but some of these same checks will work on a washer. Fist off I would check for bad fuse usually located along the drum lining. or in the panel board itself.

test motor for bad centrifigal swtich? also a bad door switch or thermal fuse will stop it from operating at times also. there are several things to check, also check belt on tensioner it may have come off and in turn shut off belt switch? see my pics

Here are the steps to get the belt and tension pulley and spring attached properly.
1. Remove the drum from the dryer housing
2. Fit the belt around the drum, secure the belt to the drum (grooved side towards the drum, flat side away from the drum) with small strips of masking tape. Leave a loop of about 10-15 cm's free to fit around the motor. (This was Hurdle #1, it was next to impossible to hold the belt on with one hand and attempt to work out the tension pulley thing at the same time)
3. Place the drum back in to the dryer housing and rotate it so that your belt loop is facing the motor.
4. (Hurdle #2) Attach the tension pulley to the motor assembly bracket. (There should be slots in the bracket for the pulley bracket to insert into. The pulley faces away from the motor, about a 45 degree angle.
5. (Hurdle #3) Feed the belt through (under) the pulley and then over the motor's drive wheel or nub, whatever it's called.
6. (Finaly Hurdle) Attach the spring to the pulley assembly. In the centre of the dryer housing floor, there should be a seam, in the centre of this seam there is a small hole where the other end of the spring attaches too. Stretch and insert the other end of the spring into this hole.
7. Remove the masking tape that's holding the belt down.
8. Re-assemble dryer and your done.

Something is jamming where the blower wheel is. You sound pretty mechanically inclined and know your way around the machine enough to skip the beginning steps. The blower wheel connects to the motor shaft and depending on the model may or may not be covered when the machine is taken apart. Once you locate it I guarantee you'll find something binding it up.

Hi there, There is a switch at the bottom of the dryer. It has a groove for the spring to fit around. Then the spring goes through the metal tag with the holes in the pulley. The pulleys 2 prongs then fits into the slot near the motor. The belt goes through the pulley and around the motor wheel. When fitting the drum, tape the belt at three points on the drum with the machine door facing down making installation easier. Once installed remove the tape. The dryer now works like a dream. See the attached photo. Good Luck!

The timer is the "on" switch.
Things that can stop it starting.
Door switch- is the depresser pin contacting.
Broken main belt.

Faulty - motor- timer- door switch- belt switch ( if fitted) wireing.

BEFORE YOU FIT THE BELT MAKE SURE THE CENTRE PULLY IT GOES ON SPINS FREELY- IF ITS TIGHT IT WILL RUIN THE NEW BELT.
