Remove the top panel, remove front panel and diconnect mositure sensor and lid swithch. Remove bulk head. Put belt on motor pully first, its behind the silver fly wheele at the drive motor. The belt is then twisted and put onto the blower pully by slowly turning fly wheele by hand. It will go back on as you continue to turn, dont pinch your fingers! It helps to have a second person to help support and keep the drum in place as it turns or you may need to remove the drum, drum belt and idyler pulley. Replace bulk head, connections, front and top panels. fyi: The belt will twist only one direction or it will hit the plastic tab in its path. Confirm good air flow after the job is done. Outside air should be approx. 145 degrees and force should be strong.
