Oh my gosh, I made removing the lid much harder than it was. There were two screws on the back side of the control portion that weren't allowing meto lift it...I got it off and it was indeed the belt....now I need to figure out howto put the new belt in...I am so excited that I might actually be able to do this....any words of wisdom for belt replacement. Anything (other than grooved side down, that I ought to look for or be careful of. THank you again for helping me through this project...

wow...thank you so much. the visual helps tremendously. I have ordered the belt and it should be here by weeks end. Hopefully saturday or sunday I'll have my dryer up and running again. I can't thank you all enough for your help and patience...not to mention saving me a lot of money.

sorry...I am back.....I am having trouble with the idler. from what I am reading there should be a wheel on it but mine doesn't. there is like a 1/2 circle metal. I see how the belt goes around the pully how do I route it around this idler arm? (it is welded on both sides) do I kind of fold the belt and push the loop though and then take that loop around the pully? (this is the only moving part of this assebmly)...I hope someone understands what I am saying....thank you
