I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOUR MACHINE.
I HAD TO TAKE THE FRONT PANEL, INCLUDING THE DOOR, TO INSPECT A DRYER BELT RECENTLY. IT
SEEMED I COULD HAVE REPLACED A BELT IF I HAD TO. CHECK TO SEE IF YOU NEED A BELT OR IF YOURS NEEDS ADJUSTING AT BELT TENSIONER/
SAFETY SWITCH. YEARS AGO, I MANUALLY TURNED OUR OLDE DRYERS DRUM, THE WRONG WAY FROM
INSIDE THE OPEN DOOR. THE DARN BELT CAME OFF THE TENSIONER. THIS MAY NOT BE A PROBLEM WITH CURRENT DRYERS.

you need to remove the front panel and kickplate (if you have one) This will allow you to detach the front of the top of the dryer and you can prop the top up while you replace the belt around the drum, down to the drive belt. Here's a link for your make and model. It shows an exploded view of the parts of your dryer. http://www.partselect.com/MultiModels.aspx?ModelNum=dde7100&searchTerm=&RefineSearch=0. This can help you figure out what parts you might need and how things go back together. Good luck!

First, make sure you are using the proper belt. For your model
DBXR4630WW that would be a part number WE12M29. Next, the grooves of the belt touch the drum. Now, looking at it from the front side, the belt goes from the left side of the drum directly to the motor drive pulley, then around the tensioning pulley, and then back to the bottom right back around drum.

You have to open the door right where the door closes if you look up you'll see two screws take those out and the top just comes off by lifting it up and then on the inside if your in the front of the dryer the screws are pointing to you so once you got the top look at the front panel but from the inside and at the top you'll see two screws one on left one on right take them out and grab the front panel and just lift it it sits on two little hooks or screws on the bottom i usually lift right and than left or left then right.
You will now have access to slide the new belt around the drum and ready to mount on the motor pulley and idler.
Pull your dryer from the wall and remove the back panel by the vent outlet.
You will see a diagram of how belt mounts over both pulleys, follow instructions and reinstall everything the way it was.
GOOD LUCK!

put belt around drum then around motor pulley, then pull or push idler pulley so as to put belt over this pulley and release,this will tighten the belt,then manually hand rotate drum to self-align belt on pulleys and drum and put covers back on
