New belt is very tight, so you have to use more strength. Put it on motor and all other on "drum". Spin it easily and slowly but with strength until its done.


Be carefully, use gloves.

your model number doesn't show up but all whirlpool belts go on the same way,put the belt under the idler pulley and then onto the motor pulley,you have to push the pulley back towards the motor and then loop the belt onto the motor pulley and you want the ribs to be down touching the drum

hope this helps and next time send the full model number off of the machine,just open the door to the dryer and look around the opening where you put the clothes in you'll see a tag with the full model number

Creda I don't know from. Sorry

most credas you need a stretch tool to stretch the belt from drum to motor if there is no jockey pulleys good luck.

release tentsion from belt pulley

There should be some kind of tensioner around the motor or one of the pully's. The other problem could be that the belt you bought is the wrong one for your model. If you still have the old belt, measure the new belt against the old one and the new belt should be slightly smaller. I hope this info helps.

open case
loop belt around bits
close case

more particularly

Unplug dryer
pull dryer away from wall
remove 1 screw each side at back of top plate
slide top plate backwards and lift off
undo 1 screw each side of front kickplate
tlit front panel up
unplug door switch
set front panel aside
careful of control panel its V.fragile
(I lay the dryer on its back)
pull out old belt and bits of belt
loop new belt round drum at wear marks
pull tensioner to end of travel against spring
loop belt round motor pulley & both tensioner wheels(most creda) 1 wheel (old)
relax tensioner
rotate drum by hand to make sure belt wont jump off

reassemble in reverse order
creda uses hotpoint parts

don't know the make or model but you can go to sears .com click on parts put your model number in(inside dryer door)and it will show you everything you need to know,let me know how you do-mike

with great difficulty - these belts are so tight!there is a special tool for doing it but there are other ways
one way i have used is to make a spanish windlass from belt to bottom of machine. when belt is level with motor spindle, push belt on and release spanish windlass. could also try levering belt on with a screwdriver
another method is to get a short piece of tubing that will fit over motor spindle. put belt over tube, lever down and slip belt on. this is the best way
