where could i find a diagram or video on how 2 change a dryer belt i cant find it someone told me to take out the tumbler i cant seem to figure out how to get to the belt i have an old electric whirlpool dryer|||I think on most dryers of your type you must first lift the top. There are 2 spring catches you must release. They are accessed by placing a %26#039;thin%26#039; putty knife the crack between the top and front surfaces about 3 inches from each edge,,and push. If the lint filter is in the machine top, first remove the 2 screws below the filter.
After you Lift the top you will see the drum. Remove the door switch electrical wire.
The front panel of the dryer acts as the front bearing for the drum so as you remove the 2 screws holding the front panel in place,top L%26amp;R be ready to support the drum. Lift the front panel from the 2 alignment pins at the bottom. You now have access to install the belt kit.|||Have you looked inside a dryer. It is pretty simple. There is usually a bearing in the back, take out the 2 to 4 screws and slip the belt on, put it around the motor and put the screws back in.|||Have you tried taking off the back of the dryer? That is usually where they are on the older ones. In the back and low I think. If you still cant find it then try and find the motor, just follow the electrical wires for that. They belt is on a wheel on the motor. Good luck|||go to were stores were Whirlpool dryers are sold and ask for a copy of there instructions on dryers|||Try this site,explains it all.
