The idler pulley plugs into slots on the base.

The belt installation picture is attached to the post.

Here are the break down diagrams for the Estate dryer Model TEDS740JQ1

With the grooved side of the belt against the drum, there is only one way to install per the picture given.

Reach in with both arms under the drum, and route the belt around the motor pulley and the idler pulley and watch for sharp edges! Rotate drum one turn to make sure the belt tracks properly.
