Loosen the screws that secure the dryer cabinet. They are usually located at the back of the appliance. Use a suitable screwdriver to unscrew them. Once the screws are removed, you need to gently lift the dryer cabinet. Make sure not to force it and be careful to avoid any damage. Once the cabinet is removed, you will have access to the faulty belt. Note its location and take measurements if necessary to ensure you purchase the correct replacement belt. Remove the damaged belt by detaching it from the pulleys and other components of the dryer. Install the new belt by properly attaching it to the pulleys and other components of the dryer. Make sure it is tight and aligned for optimal operation. Put the cabinet back in place by securing it with the screws you previously removed. Tighten them firmly, but avoid overtightening to avoid damaging the threads. Plug the dryer back into the electrical outlet and check that it is working properly. You can test it by running a short cycle to ensure that the belt is in place and the dryer is functioning normally. By following these steps, you should be able to disassemble your dryer and change the belt without any problems.
