Place the belt onto the outside of the tumbler and position the belt 11/2" in front of rear baffle mounting screws with the ribbed side against the tumbler.

Position the tumbler into the rear felt seal, resting the tumbler onto the rear rollers. Lower the front of the tumbler onto the blower housing.

Sit or kneel near the front of the dryer. Insert the left hand along side of the tumbler at 8 o'clock. Insert the right arm under the tumbler (as close to the blower as possible).

Locate the belt and create a small loop with your right hand, ensuring the belt is free of twist.

Position the open end of the loop (ribbed side down) onto the motor pulley with your right hand.

To clear the drive belt, grasp the idler pulley in left hand, pull idler upward and to the left.

Relax your left hand and allow the idler pulley to rest down onto the belt.

Grasp baffles with both hands and rotate the tumbler 1 or 2 turns CW to allow the belt to align itself.

A buddy of mine got me to the site because I was having noise issues with our Maytag Atlantis Dryer. I suspected the bearings at the back of the unit on the tumbler, but I think it's the bearing associated with the belt and the motor. As a first step, I'm applying WD-40 to the inside of the Bearing - i. I also felt helpless when I tried to re-install the belt. Gene, THANK YOU! It took me 2 or 3 tries. A picture would help. The diagram attached on the previous post was still slightly different than what I was up against.
