To replace the belt, you have to take the front off the dryer and lift out the drum. With the new belt, place it around the drum and with the drum in place put the excess belt through the idler pulley or bracket (depending on your model), then around the motor pulley. You push the bracket or idler arm toward the motor to get the "loop" of the belt around the pulley on the motor. Hope this helps! Paul Hoffmanns

I need a diagram to put the belt on Kenmore dryer

I apologize, but I am not able to provide diagrams or images. However, I can provide you with general instructions for replacing the belt on a Kenmore dryer. Please note that these instructions may vary depending on your specific model of dryer, so you may want to refer to your owner's manual or a service manual for more detailed instructions.
To replace the belt on a Kenmore dryer:
  1. Unplug the dryer and move it away from the wall.
  2. Remove the lint filter and the screws that hold the lint filter housing in place.
  3. Lift the top of the dryer and prop it open.
  4. Locate the belt and pulleys. The belt will be looped around the drum and the pulleys.
  5. Slide the belt off the drum and release it from the pulleys.
  6. Thread the new belt around the drum and pulleys, making sure it is seated properly in the grooves.
  7. Adjust the belt tension if necessary. The belt should be tight enough to turn the drum, but not so tight that it causes the motor to strain.
  8. Close the dryer and replace the lint filter housing and screws.
  9. Plug the dryer back in and test it to make sure the belt is working properly.
I hope these instructions are helpful. If you have any difficulty or are unsure about any part of the process, I recommend seeking the help of a qualified appliance repair technician.

I need to replace a dryer belt on a Kenmore gas dryer model number 110.73032102. The belt part number is 2925.

Not sure where you got that part number but the true part number for the belt on your dryer is 3387610

Kenmore Dryer, Model # 11063102100, does not dry.

Does the drum still turn. If so probably just needs a new heating element. VERY easy to replace. Usually instructions to replace on or in new element box or just google instructions.
New heating element would be my first move to repair dryer.
Also, if you use softeners or dryer sheets, Wash lint screen with dawn and soft scrub brush to remove oils and residue (even if it dont look like there is none there there is) to extend your heating element use.
