In this video I show you how to change a belt on a front loading dryer.
I did this on my Kenmore 70 series but this video was meant to be universal to help you to take apart and fix a dryer that has a drum that stopped spinning.

I’m a 28 year old female who lost her dad about 5 years ago. Father’s Day is coming up and this video helped so much instead of paying someone or buying a new dryer. Wish my dad was here to help, but I know he’d be proud of me doing this by myself. Thanks for all the help from a 90s baby who desperately needed this!

So sorry for your loss. As someone who doesn't have her Dad around to help with these types of things, I get what you're saying. It's scary to tackle these kinds of repairs, but it's super empowering when I figure it out on my own. Way to go doing it yourself!

My favorite part is when he is able to show us how to loop the belt around the tensioner and onto the motor. The way he got that perfect camera angle with adequate lighting....astounding! Well done sir. May the algorithm put your video to the top.

Great clear instructions. Perhaps the most important real world part of this video was showing the hideous multi year lint accumulation that has to be cleaned before doing the belt replacement. I was horrified how much lint crap had accumulated inside my drier that posed a real fire hazard that i had never appreciated. It took me several hours to clean out the body in addition to the ~20 minute actual belt replacement. I diligently always cleared my lint screen after each use, but the lint piles I found inside shocked me. Thank goodness my belt broke and forced me to clean out this fire hazard lint that had accumulated after years of use. All other videos I watched showed well dressed salesmen replacing the belt of a new drier with ultra clean insides. This real world video is the best and serves as a wake up call to alert everyone of the need for yearly drier inside lint cleaning.

I was a crane operator at a scrap yard. A customer came in with a stake body truck full of washers, dryers and dishwashers. His 13 year old son was unloading the truck by himself. When I went to talk to the driver, his son rocked the last dryer off. When it hit the ground, change fell out. After he picked up the change and was getting ready to leave, I told him, he wasn’t done yet, but to wait a second. I got in the crane and took the dryer apart. When I got back to him, he was still getting change from the dryer. The next day, I asked the driver how much did I his son get. $18.

Just want to say thank you! I'm a mom of 5 whose slightly handy, but not enough to ever think to fix a dryer myself. I followed your video and installed the new belt, alone, in 15 minutes. I watched it a few days ago and you made me feel like this was something we could handle at home so I ordered a new belt from amazon. My husband disassembled it last night but was stuck at work today when the belt came. I vacuumed it all out.....made almost $5 😆....and followed you step by step. I enlisted my 8 year old to hold the drum while I put the front back on and boom its done! After a week of not having a dryer I didn't have one more minute to spare lol Thank you so much for saving us a ton of money and sparing my husband another job to handle when he got home 🤗

Thanks for the tips. Honestly the way you balanced the drum with the bounty box was crucial to seeing how I could do it myself without having someone else hold it up( I used an old detergent bottle).

Thank you. You saved me about $250! Easy as pie to fix. My tensionor was a little different design, but the principle was the same. I had a friend hold up the drum, and that helped as I attached the belt to the motor. Flashlight comes in handy.

This video may be 3 yrs old, but you helped me help myself. I’m still waiting for the replacement belt to arrive, but the instructions are so easy to comprehend and follow along. As a divorced lady, I don’t have the help and rely on other peoples videos to help me to at least try to do it myself first before hiring out the work. Can’t wait to get the belt and finish the repair. You made it seem easy enough and thank you for all you do. My dryer only had .76¢ a few washers and not as much lint.

Your video was the best. I fixed my mom's dryer thanks to your very simple to understand and clear to see video. Repairman never showed up so I ordered the belt and attempted it myself. I am a woman with some mechanical ability when I set my mind to it. I so appreciate the self help you provided. Cost my time and $8.00. Also gave me a lot of confidence when successfully repaired by me. Thanks again. Look forward to view your other videos.

Mr. Fixer- After watching many other videos I found this video and after watching it a few times I was able to situate the tensioner around the small end of the motor and buttoned up the rest and my dryer has been running like a champ.

Bless you and thank you! We didn't have the money to replace or get professionally fixed our dryer. After researching the issue, my mom and I were able to fix the dryer belt because of you and this great video!

Hey, wanted to thankyou so much for your straight forward video on dryer belt replacement. I just now finished up installing my new dryer belt. It truly was an easy job, and I am truly greatful for your help!! Oh, and by the way, I have the same exact dryer, so it felt like the video was posted just for me!

Hey Fixer! This was a great video for people trying to repair an older dryer. I looked at a bunch of videos before I came upon yours.I really like the way you went through the steps of figuring out how to open up the dryer and evaluating the problem. I also liked the way you showed how to thread the belt through the tensioner pulley for the belt configuration. Very informative video. Keep up the great work, my friend. Awesome video!!

Bravo! Excellent video!! Unlike another video I saw regarding a belt replacement who demonstrated how the belt went on the pully assembly minus the drum as you did. You went a step further and demonstrated how to install that pully with the drum in place. Thanks very much!

Yep! Very helpful. Different make and model, Hotpoint DLB265OR, 29 years old. There's a panel in back to get inside to visually check the tension pully and adjust the belt. Got it back on, up and running, but so tattered that it doesn't make sense to use. So, have to figure out how the front face comes off to swap it out with a new one. I like your closing advice - "Don't be afraid!" Also, one you made in the opening - "If I can't fix it myself, it's junk." Thanks for dispelling the mystery of how things look inside the white box.

Thank you so much for this video. We just got our belt replaced about a weeks ago for 50 bucks but it's something me and my husband could have done ourselves. I came looking for this video again after my girls playing with the dryer caused the belt to come off.

Sorry, got click happy. Only two things missing here. One is to check the wheels and belt tensioner before you order parts. The other is to test run before you lock the top down. Other than that, A+

Your video saved me hundreds of dollars! My dryer is over 9 years old. I either would have paid a repairman over 200.00 to fix it or would have spent over 600.00 for a new one. I watched your video, opened the dryer, saw the belt had snapped, bought replacement belt off Amazon for 8 BUCKS and it's working again! THANK YOU!!! 😎

Hey Fixer, thx so much for the excellent demo video on replacing a broken dry er belt. Tho a reasonable "fixer" myself, I was dumbfounded after taking the dryer apart. I had to decide on hiring a handyman or buying a new one. Thru fate (?) I came across your video, spent $8 bucks for a new belt, and was able to save myself hundreds of dollars. Again, THANKS!!!
